Assembly Instructions
GRINDER HEAD ASSEMBLY:
NOTE: Please see our website at www.americaneaglemachine.com for an instructional video
on proper assembly. Damage from improper assembly is not covered under warranty!
NOTE: American Eagle recommends pairing one plate with one knife for optimal grinding
results. Over time, grinder/plate combination develops a wear pattern that fits them
together for the best possible grind. Refer to plate selection guide. Pick one of the included plate
options to use with the included knife. Call 773.376.0800 to order plates and knives.
1. To avoid injury, unplug the meat grinder before assembling the grinder head.
2. Insert the feed chamber into the hub, ensure the pin on the feed chamber aligns with
the hole on the motor unit and the feed chamber is fully inserted. See Figure 1.
3. Tighten the thumb screw clockwise until it is secure. Do not use a tool or over tighten!
See Figure 2.

4. Make sure the Teflon washer is mounted on the spiral propeller/auger. See Figure 3
5. Make sure the spiral propeller/auger is facing the correct direction. Slide the spiral propeller/
auger into the feed chamber with the Teflon washer installed. See Figure 4
6. Rotate and push the spiral propeller/auger until it locks into the motor unit. Ensure the auger is
firmly secure and fully inserted into the internal hub. See Figure 5
7. Place the knife onto the auger with the flat side (cutting edges) facing out. See Figure 6
8. Place the grinder plate onto the auger pin and rotate it until the notch in the plate lines up with
the pin on the feeder chamber, make sure the plate locks in place. See Figure 7

9. Place the coupling ring onto the feed chamber and rotate clockwise.
10. Hand tighten the coupling ring and then rotate it backward (counterclockwise) very slightly, at
most ~1/8”. Do not use a tool or over tighten! See Figure 8 and Figure 9.
11. Place the feeder pan onto the feed chamber and make sure it is fully inserted. See Figure 10
12. Make sure the forward/reverse switch is in the OFF position and plug the grinder in.
IMPORTANT: The coupling ring holds all components together and should not be
loose, but should not be too tight. Over-tightening the coupling ring will cause
motor strain and cause damage to the grinder not covered under warranty.

GRINDER OPERATION:
1. Remove all skin and bones from meat before grinding. Cut the meat strips slightly smaller
than the opening of the feed chamber. Meat must fall easily into the feed chamber. Note:
Refer to plate guide to help determine which size plate to use for desired final product.
2. Place the meat into the feeder pan and place a container under the feed chamber to catch
the ground meat.
3. Turn the forward/reverse switch to the forward (FOR) position. DO NOT OVERTURN!
4. Feed the meat into the feed chamber using only the meat pusher.
5. When all of the meat has been ground, turn the forward/reverse switch to the OFF
position and unplug the grinder.
Note: In the unlikely event that the grinder jams, you can run the motor in reverse by
turning the forward/reverse switch to REV for a few seconds to help clear jams. ONLY USE REV
WITH GRINDER HEAD. DO NOT USE REVERSE WITH OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS.
NOTE: DO NOT OVER-TURN THE FORWARD/
REVERSE SWITCH. Damage from over-turning
is not covered under warranty! See photos on right.
HELPFUL MEAT PROCESSING TIPS:
When a finer grind is desired, pass the meat two (2) or three (3) times, beginning with a
larger hole plate and swapping to the smaller plates in later passes. Chill the meat thoroughly
to 32ºF-34ºF (0ºC-1ºC) in between each pass to reduce loss of juices and retain texture.
Trim a handful of fat from meat. Process the fat through the feed chamber to help lubricate
grinder head for enhanced results.
Always refrigerate freshly ground meat and cook within 24 hours, or freeze the meat if you do
not plan to use immediately.
For best drying results, prepare sausage 24-48 hours prior to use.
