How to Assemble a Meat Grinder

The best way we have found to assemble the grinder is with the feed assemble off the main body of the grinder. Tilt the feed housing up so you are looking down inside of it. Place the auger down inside the housing and then place the cutting blade down onto the square portion of the shaft of the auger. The flat surface of the blade should be facing you. Install the plate you wish to use being sure to align the pin with the notch in the plate and then finally comes the Ring Nut. We have found that on smaller grinders like the Tasin grinder the Ring Nut should be just snugged down slightly and not extremely tight while the Weston commercial grinders prefer to have the Ring Nut snugged down quite a bit.
