Frequently Asked Questions - HLS-1650A Backyard Pro

How do I replace the saw blade on the Backyard Pro HLS-1650A?

First, disconnect the saw from power. Loosen the tension knob by turning counterclockwise. Carefully remove the old blade and install the new one, ensuring the teeth point downward and toward the left side of the table. Tighten the tension knob until the wheel makes a slicing sound to indicate correct tension.

What type of power supply does this saw require?

It requires a 110V / 60Hz power source with a grounded 3-prong outlet. The motor is 1 HP (750W). Use only UL-approved extension cords with appropriate gauge as specified in the manual.

How should I clean the tabletop butcher saw?

Disconnect the machine from power. Open the door, loosen tension, and remove the blade. Remove the scraper. Clean all parts with hot water and a hard brush. Dry thoroughly with a dry cloth. Pay special attention to wheels and chain wheel bottom.

What safety precautions should I take when operating this saw?

Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact glasses, hearing protection, and heavy-duty gloves. Keep hands away from the blade. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Ensure the saw is on a flat, level surface. Keep children away.

How do I adjust the thickness of cuts?

Use the thickness adjustor (part #48) located on the machine. Turn it to set the desired cutting thickness.

What should I do if the saw blade becomes hot during use?

Allow the blade to cool completely before touching it. The blade becomes hot during cutting; this is normal. Always wait for it to stop spinning and cool down.

Can I use an extension cord with this saw?

Yes, but only use UL-approved cords with the correct gauge. The manual provides a table: for 0-5 amps use 16 gauge up to 100 ft, etc. Ensure the cord is rated for the amperage.

How often should I replace the saw blade?

Under normal conditions, replace the blade after cutting approximately 4400 lb (2000 kg) of meat or bones.

What is the purpose of the scraper and how do I maintain it?

The scraper removes meat scraps from the blade during operation. Ensure it leans against the blade but does not touch the teeth. Clean it regularly and empty the scrap tray.

What should I do if the saw does not start?

Check that the power cord is plugged into a grounded outlet and the switch is on. Ensure the door cover is closed properly, as the open door-cut off switch will prevent operation. If still not starting, consult a qualified technician.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATON INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USE

When unpacking, checking to make sure all parts shown are included.

INSTALLATION (See Fig 1)

1. The tabletop butcher saw is fully assembled and is ready to be used right out of the box.
2. The tabletop butcher saw should be put on a flat, level surface capable of withstanding vibration.
3. Open the door cover (#37) of the machine and inspect if the saw blade is correctly fixed on the top and belt of the wheels (#18, #25); the teeth edge of the blade should be flush with edge of the wheels.
4. Close the door cover (#37), and turn the wheel control knob (#12) counterclockwise, then plug the saw in. Turn on the white switch to start the work and turn off the black switch to stop. When the machine works, check that the blade drives in a clockwise manner.

General Information and Instructions

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. When you stand by the machine, please put the meat between the saw blade and the safety fence (#38). Control the safety fence with your right hand and the meat with the left hand. Then use the handle of safety fence to guide the blade through the meat.
2. Use the thickness adjustor (#48) to control the
3. thickness of cuts.
4. When using the saw, push the handle of the safety fence evenly and parallel from left to right as shown below (see FIG 2).

NOTE:

1. Before using the machine, check the Scraper (#51) to ensure that it leans against the blade, but ensure that it does not touch the teeth of blade. The scraper removes meat scraps from the blade when the machine is working. Empty the scrap tray (#30) regularly. (See below FIG 3 above).
2. When the tabletop butcher saw is not in use, unscrew the tension knob (#5) counterclockwise for two revolutions to release the tension; when it is time to use the machine, tighten it by screwing it clockwise two revolutions. Following this procedure could increase the useful life of the blade.
3. When the operator opens the door cover of the machine, the open door-cut off power switch will stop the operation, but the saw blade still will continue to spin for some time. Allow the blade to stop completely.
4. Always use safety gloves when operating the tabletop butcher saw.

REPLACE SAW BLADE:

1. Loosen the blade by turning the tension knob counterclockwise.
2. Carefully remove old blade and replace with new blade. Pay special attention to the direction the sawtooth blades are going. Otherwise, the saw blade will break off from the machine.
3. Make sure the saw blade and slicer are installed between the top wheel and bottom pulley/middle plate and that it passes through the guide groove.
4. After installing the new blade, turn the tension knob to the point that the loosened wheel can make a slicing sound. This sound means the blade has the correct amount of tension.
5. Be sure to match the right saw blade to the type of food you are cutting.
