SPECIFIC WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

UNPACKING

When unpacking, check to make sure all the parts shown on the Parts List (page 9) are

included. If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the

number shown on the cover of this manual as soon as possible.

1. Always wash hands thoroughly with warm, anti-bacterial soap and water

before and after working with meat and poultry products.

2. Always use clean equipment and utensils. Before assembling and using, and

after using this product immerse all parts of the Jerky Gun in warm, clean water

and thoroughly wash with anti-bacterial soap.

3. Keep meat and poultry refrigerated at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or slightly

below. Use or freeze ground beef and poultry within two days. Use or

freeze whole red meats within three to five days.

4. Defrost frozen meat and poultry in the refrigerator, not on the kitchen

counter.

5. Marinate meat and poultry in the refrigerator. Marinades are used to tender-

ize and flavor the jerky before dehydrating it. Do not save marinade to re-use.

6. Always oven roast meat and poultry to 160 degrees Fahrenheit to kill all

bacteria (as measured with a meat thermometer) before dehydrating it. The

USDA Meat and Poultry Department’s current recommendation for making jerky

safely is to heat the meat and poultry to 160 degrees Fahrenheit before the

dehydrating process. This step assures that any bacteria present will be

destroyed by wet heat.

7. If using a food dehydrator, make sure it has an adjustable temperature dial

and will maintain a temperature of at least 130 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit

throughout the drying process. If your dehydrator is not capable of reaching a

temperature of 160 degrees, make sure to first oven roast the meat and poultry

to 160 degrees Fahrenheit as discussed in Step #6 above.

8. The safe storage time without refrigeration for home-dried jerky is 1 to 2

months, if properly sealed and stored. To avoid potential illnesses due to

Salmonella and E. coli do not consume home-dried jerky that has been stored

without refrigeration beyond the USDA’s recommended expiration period.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: For additional references to the parts listed on the following pages, refer to the

Assembly Diagram (page 9).

1. Depress the Release Lever (6). Grasp the Knob (5), and pull the Push Rod

(12) back. Then, release pressure on the Release Lever. (See Figure A.)

2. Screw the Cartridge (13) firmly onto the Cartridge Cap (10). NOTE: Make sure

all parts of the Jerky Gun are cleaned thoroughly before inserting any

ground food in the Cartridge. (See Figure A.)

3. Hold the Jerky Gun vertically, so that its Cartridge (13) is facing up and its Knob

(5) is facing down. Then, fill the Cartridge with the ground food with which you

will make jerky. (See Figure A.)

4. Place the Round Nozzle (18) or the

Flat Nozzle (19) on the end of the

Cartridge (13). NOTE: The Round

Cartridge is used for making round

jerky sticks. The Flat Nozzle is

used for making flat jerky strips.

(See Figure A.)

5. Insert the remaining Cartridge Cap

(10) over the Round Nozzle (18), or

Flat Nozzle (19), and firmly screw the

Cartridge Cap onto the Cartridge (13).

(See Figure A.)

6. NOTE: The next Step (Step #7) re-

quires the use of a sheet of aluminum

foil laid out on a flat working surface

and/or a flat baking pan

(both not included).

7. Hold the Jerky Gun firmly with both

hands, point downward and repeated-

ly squeeze the Trigger (2). This will

result in the ground food being pumped out of the Round Nozzle (18), or Flat

Nozzle (19), and onto the aluminum foil and/or flat baking pan. When the desired

length of a piece of jerky is aquired, discontinue squeezing the Trigger.

Once the Cartridge (13) is depleted of the ground food, it can be refilled by re-

peating the Steps previously discussed. (See Figure A.)
