After butchering fresh game, it tends to be pretty bloody & I want to know if blood gets sucked up into the machine motor or how does it deal with?

You'd want to drain the meat first, which is normal practice. You don't want to get moisture in the seal and that would be the case for any sealer. You can pre-freeze the meat then seal it.

I've had blood reach the tip of the machine. My solution: freeze the item flat in a closed zip-lock. Then, open the zip-lock, place it inside the Waring bag, and suck both bags. Also makes clean-up of the re-useable Waring bags a lot easier!

In the bags there is a chance of liquid getting sucked up if you are not careful, but if you use jars and keep the liquid about 1 inch below the lid....NO. Also, powered things like flour can also gum things up if you are not careful. Machine can be cleaned because liquid only gets into the head, not the motor.

I seal anything with some liquid that could get sucked up in another bag first. I either use a cheap zip-lock bag & push the air out of it, or a regular food storage bag and do the same push the air out and twist it, then put it in the Waring bags & seal it. This keeps the liquids from being vacuumed into the machine, or at least you can see it seeping out & can stop before they start seeping up to the vacuum. I usually get a pretty good seal before that happens. This makes cleaning your resealable bags easier.

You don't want anything juicy in there, so that will be a problem. Yes it would get sucked up and then the bag would have to be cleaned wit bleach water because you're not supposed to have any juices suck through the air hole on the bag, and no juice is supposed to enter vacuum gun or it needs to be cleaned.

If any kind of liquid gets sucked in, it will immediately end up inside the vacuum pump and piston by ruining it. I would not recommend it for vacuuming out 100% of the air out of bags with liquid substances. If you decide to do this anyway, you will have to leave some air in the bag so that the liquids do not get past the valve and into the machine.

You can do one of two things, either wrap a piece of wax paper over the raw meat, or freeze it before packing. I wouldn't take the chance of pulling some of the liquid into the vacuum. This is a great product. I use it for sealing up jars filled with rice and beans, or for sealing up steaks, etc., for freezing. Wax paper is ideal for wrapping the item first before sealing. It also is inexpensive as compared with freezer wrap.

It might. Liquids does get suck in the pistol's nozzle, and it can damage the motor in case of getting in. You should place a paper towel all across the bag's top, nearby the vacuum valve in order to absorb it before it can get out. Or simply just be carefull... Good luck!

On a sidenote, I love the reusable bags but cleaning them has become such a chore ( since I defrost meat every day/1 bag a day) that I will be buying a foodsaver. The work that goes into cleaning the reusable bags is not worth it anymore.

I use the electric motor attachment. That frees my hands up to cut the larger tomatoes into pieces that will fit down the throat of the hopper. Otherwise, I would either have to repeatedly dry my hands off or let the manual handle get all messy and hard to grip. The motor probably cranks faster than I could by hand anyway. At my age, too, it's nice to let a motor do the work!

I use the Barnett Cranking device. It is a bit noisy, but easy to use. I believe that quick reloading after a miss won't make any difference. That deer will probably be long gone.

Yes. I had the same problem. Call Rikon and be as ass about it. I gave up the first time and bought another saw from Amazon. When the second motor died I called three or four times and was a complete ass. They sent me a replacement for free because it has a one year warranty. If you are using it for meat, you have to cover the motor with a plastic bag before you wash it down. Otherwise, the motor isn&#699;t well sealed and moisture will condense it in and destroy the brushes. My best advice, if they don&#699;t replace it never buy another. It really is poorly constructed and I&#699;m only using it until it dies and getting a Hobart or a Biro saw.

Not a problem...I originally purchased the Cuisinart DLC-4CHB to help my 88 year old mother-in-law be able to eat some of the types of meat we would have for dinner. What I would do is cut up the (cooked meat) into half inch cubes before putting them into the Cuisinart. Using the chop and grind back and forth it would chop the meat to as fine a consistency as I wanted. That said, I have never used it on raw meat. I would suggest that you just try it with a small amount of meat at a time. Just listen to the motor to make sure it is not laboring, and don't run for an extended period of time, this is not a commercial food processor. One other point of information, after cleaning let the cutting blade dry thoroughly so that the part that slips over the motor shaft is dry. This will keep the shaft from corroding.

Pulverize, the small bones. Thats all Ive tryed. Wicked machine and so quite;. I love it.

The only instance of blood I can recall is the series of static dark red spots at the end of the Subspace Emissary campaign on the white glove of [redacted] due to [redacted]. It's nothing graphically shocking though, unless you count a small coagulated prick shocking, and it is used for dramatic effect in the story. Otherwise, though, it's fine, and that's minor. Pretty much just cartoon violence.

not sure what your looking for here. the question is ambiguous. if you have blood in your body then sure. if your a zombie then you have no blood so no. will it make you bleed? nope, it only shoots rubber bb's at about 150 feet per second. feels like a bee sting or getting a needle shot. great for kids and adults who want to play cop and robbers.

It depends on how the rats get killed. I had one that cleanly snapped a neck, so I was able to reuse it. Another was covered in gore so it was thrown out with the body.

I haven't had a problem. I'm a good bleeder. I think the advise others have given should be helpful. Try holding it flat to the drop of blood. Also adjust the lacet and wash your hands in warm water before so that you can produce a better drop.

There is no need to clean the unit after each kill since there is no blood common with snap traps. If you wish to clean the unit, insure the power switch is off before inserting anything inside. A simple counter wipe or paper towel with Windex or similar cleaning fluid would be adequate. I would not recommend any harsh scrubbing as this may damage the electrical wires connected to the metal plates.

There's not a whole lot of blood or gore in this game. When someone, something, is hit, they just goes down - more explosion than blood. The only time you see gore is when you are in your Titan and you run up to a nearly defeated Titan and take out it's pilot. Then it squishes him and you'll see some blood there. But frankly, that's pretty rare. It's very difficult to do that. Here's the link to a YouTube video of actual gameplay from a player's perspective. Give you a good idea of what to expect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUaK482pk-wBut in answer to your question, I don't think there is a way to turn it off.

Metal. So far I have only ground game meat (wild pig, weighing about 180 lb.). Had to remove the "silver skin" first or the machine would jam in less than one minute. Ground meat from the neck and rump. Grinder worked fine once the silver skin was removed - a lot of work.

,absolutely it'll clean all of that out all that black powder residue 1 of the best cleaners around that being said please note that I said cleaner that means inside the boar if the gun is blued keep it off the blueing long-term exposure to this could possibly cause pitting while cleaning the boar I would invert your rifle or whatever it is you're cleaning so that any excess solvent runs out to the cardboard or whatever you have it sitting on August we put something underneath the weapon tonight just let it rest on your floor as a solvent will probably eat through the linoleum or whatever you have for flooring it will eat through just about anything if its exposed long enough well I hope this helped you happy shooting

The only potential point for food to contact the top red motor unit is a 5/8" hole in the top center of the clear plastic lid where the shaft of the blade unit passes through. I have not found food getting onto the bottom of the motor unit to be a problem, but could be wiped with a damp cloth. Everything else is submersible/dish washer cleanable.

sure - and it's even more important not to cut yourself butchering deer since the blood of wild animals can carry parasites and dangerous bacteria. I simply wash mine in a bleach solution when I'm done with fish or wild animals.
