Morphology
The sense is directly built from 'meat' (the object) + 'cutter' (one who or that which cuts), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to someone or something that cuts meat. Although 'cutter' can also denote a tool, the basic compositional meaning 'person who cuts meat' is predictable and cross-linguistically common, making it understandable at B1.
Etymology
Meat cutter joins meat and cutter to name a 'machine' or 'tool' that cuts meat. Picture a sharp blade or slicer moving through a big piece to make steaks, and that image explains why it means a device for cutting meat.
