II. Instructions for use – Tooth Grinding Machine for piglets 230 Volt
Why grind teeth?
The teeth of sucking pigs are sharp and pointed and can easily damage the sow's ud-
der and teats. To protect the sow's udder and also to ensure calm and harmonious
suckling it used to be customary to cut the teeth of sucking pigs. This also prevented
bite injuries to the rest of the litter.
Tooth cutting is a painful procedure for a sucking pig. When they are cut with a pair
of tooth-nippers, even if the tooth is cut correctly, vertical cracks can easily occur in
the dental enamel and the pulp of the tooth (nerves, blood vessels, connective tis-
sue) becomes exposed. The cracks constitute a very high risk of future infection for
the pigs. In many cases these infections are not discovered until slaughter.
The alternative is tooth-grinding!
The tooth-grinding machine makes work easier, reduces considerably the risk of in-
fection and is kinder to the piglet. Just a little pressure from the grinding machine
removes the tip and sharp edges of the tooth. This protects the sow from being bit-
ten and gives the little pigs a good start.
Assembly/Disassembly of the Grinding Body
A sleeve nut attaches the grinding pen at the device. For locking the grinding body
you have to hold down the button situated directly at the handle, while you fix it using
the key enclosed. As next, screw on the protective aluminium cap. The grinding body
must not stand out over the protective aluminium cap. If this happens, the grinding
body has to be loosened again, the pen inserted deeper into the device and locked
again.
Care
The grinding body should be always cleaned after use. Grinding body and protective
aluminium cap should be cleaned with a stiff brush and water or vinegar. It is also
possible to use a conventional lime cleaner for a basic clean-up of both parts. After
cleaning lubricate the attachment of the grinding body with one drop of oil.
Helpful Hint
Do not push the grinding pen against the teeth. This reduces the grinding effect
and the grinding body will be worn unnecessarily.
Only grind the teeth at the top so that only the sharp edges will disappear.
