" of Product to be Cut.
NEVER Operate Without all Warning Labels Attached and Wall Chart Posted.
1. Read this Manual thoroughly before installation and operation. Do not proceed with installation and operation if
you have any questions or do not understand anything in this Manual. Contact your local Distributor, or BIRO
first.
2. Install machine on a level, solid, non-skid surface in a well-lighted work area away from children and visitors.
3. After installing machine in operational area, it is imperative that the four adjusting legs be adjusted to level the
machine.
4. To assemble meat gauge plate (Part No. AS16275) to the machine; Loosen the lock knob (Part No. 272-7-1) on
the right side of meat gauge bracket. Raise the meat gauge gear rack (Part No. S16272) and slip the meat
gauge plate over the gear rack. Lower the gear rack back to its original position, tighten lock knob. Keep gear
rack well oiled with food grade oil to ensure free movement.
5. The head structure (Part No. 16005) comes detached from the base. Slip the head into the slide gibs (Part No.
260) located on the back of the base structure. Make sure the slide gibs are oiled or greased to ensure free verti-
cal movement of the head structure.

ALWAYS LEVEL MACHINE BEFORE USING
6. Place removable finger lift with saw guard assembly (Part No. A211) on the saw guide bar (Part No. 116-22) and
fasten in place with finger lift fastener knob (Part No. 211A-291Q).
7. Placing blade on cutter: Hang upper wheel assembly (Part No. A16003U335-6) on the hinge bracket (Part No.
71-1). lift the nylon filler (Part No. 177). Hang blade on the upper wheel and hold with right hand. With left hand
force the back of the blade between the front blade cleaners (Part No. 131), located below the nylon filler. Lower
the nylon filler and insert the back of the blade in the upper saw guide (Part No. 602B). The blade has already
dropped over the lower wheel. With right hand force the back of the blade between the rear blade cleaners (Part
No. 131). The blade is now ready to be tightened. Press down on the ratchet arm (Part No. 10-1) located at the
rear of the base structure. Turn the upper wheel slowly by hand to ensure proper tracking of the saw blade on
the wheels. Tighten to proper tension. When the tension gauge (Part No. 16197), located at the bottom rear of
the head becomes tight laterally the blade is at proper tension.
8. The side platter bracket (Part No. S12214B) is packed loose in the machine and must be installed on the left side
of the base structure with the supplied hardware and checked for proper adjustment. Stationary platter must be
flat.
9. The stationary platter (Part No. A16163-1) is placed on top of the base structure and held in place by two
push-pull hold down catches (Part No. 16212), located on the base structure.
10. The sliding meat carriage assembly (Part No. A16155) is installed by turning the movable stop assembly (Part No.

counterclockwise to lock.
11. Post SAFETY TIPS wall chart within easy view of operator. Keep Manual available to operator.
12. Machine MUST be properly grounded. Use qualified electrician to install according to building codes.
WIRING MOTOR
(1) Interchange of current is made in motor outlet box. Leads are properly marked. Changing instructions are
on motor plate or motor outlet box.
(2) All cutters are wired 220 volts unless otherwise specified. Be sure motor specifications (voltage, cycle, phase)
match power supply line. Be sure line voltage is up to specification.
(3) Connect leads to machine in a manner that will be approved by local electrical inspectors.
(4) We recommend no less than No. 12 wire. If the leads are too light, machine may not have sufficient cutting
power and/or speed.
(5) The drive belt is packed loose in machine to prevent deformation, and must be installed on pulleys at time of
wiring motor.
(6) The BIRO Manufacturing Company is not responsible for permanent wiring, connection or installation.

B. LUBRICATION
1. UPPER WHEEL BEARINGS: Grease ev-
ery four (4) months. Change grease every
twelve (12) months. (See instructions at
right.)
2. LOWER BEARING HOUSING: Grease
every four (4) months. Change grease
every twelve (12) months.
3. SLIDE GIBS: Grease every four (4) weeks.
4. MEAT CARRIAGE BEARINGS: Grease
every four (4) weeks.
5. SAW GUIDE BAR: Oil daily with food
machine oil.
6. MEAT GAUGE GEAR RACK: Oil daily
with food machine oil.
7. MOTOR BEARINGS: Bearing grease will lose its lubricating ability over time, not suddenly. The lubricating abil-
ity of a grease (over time) depends primarily on the type of grease, the size of the bearing, the speed at which the
bearing operates and the severity of the operating conditions. Good results can be obtained if the following recommendations are used in your maintenance program.
A high grade ball or roller bearing grease should be used. Recommended grease for standard service conditions
is Polyrex EM (Exxon Mobil).
Equivalent and compatible greases include: Texaco Polystar, Rykon Premium #2, Pennzoil Pen 2 Lube, and
Chevron SRI.
Recommended lubrications intervals is every 9 months with the equivalent of two (2) teaspoons of grease.
10
When lubricating the upper wheel bearing it is important that the three
hex head screws securing the upper wheel hub cap be loosened slightly
before attempting to pump grease into the grease fitting. Loosening the
screws allows for an escape of old broken down grease and air from the
bearing cavity. Failure to loosen the screws before greasing the upper
bearings can cause the upper shaft seal to be dislodged from the upper
wheel allowing grease to escape and moisture to get into the cavity.
When finished greasing the bearings, retighten the three screws. Take
care to also clean off any grease that was forced out of the cavity during
greasing.

C. MOTOR ADJUSTMENT
Starting with Serial Number 27958 three (3) phase Model 3334’s will no longer be equipped with an adjustable
motor base plate, Part No. 16015-10 and 16015-11. The motor will be bolted to the bottom of the base structure and
V-belt tension adjusted utilizing shims.
This change has evolved as a result of the market demand for higher blade speeds. The revised mounting proce
-
dure will insure a more rigid motor installation creating positive belt alignment and minimizing machine vibration.
The base bottom has been redesigned to accept the frame sizes of the current 3 phase motors. Units prior to Serial Number 27958 can be retrofitted by ordering Part No. 16015-12 motor base plate and template (flat), and 36
pieces Part No. 324A motor shims.
ADJUSTMENTS
D. SAW GUIDE BAR AND SAW GUARD
The factory recommends that when service is performed on any BIRO SAW the servicing agency be sure that the
BIRO SAW is equipped with the most current safety features available.
In September 1969 production of the Model 3334 began and is current. The Model 3334 was first equipped with
19” saw guide bar until March 1973 when the length was extended to 23”. In June 1977, the bar was shortened to
22” and is used in current production.
The same saw guard (Part No. 255) on saw guide bar used on the Models 33 and 34 was carried over to the Model
3334 and used in production until June 1975.
Part No. 663 Saw Guard on saw guide bar replaced Part No. 255 in June 1976 starting with Serial No. 12242. At
the same time, the Part No. 661 Guard on head Door introduced in 1974 was replaced by Part No. 661-1 Guard on
Head Door. Both Part No. 663 and 661-1 are current production today.
The factory recommends that all Model 3334’s prior to Serial No. 12242 be updated by installing the current SAW
GUIDE BAR ASSEMBLY (Part No. A116-22) and SAW GUARD ON HEAD DOOR (Part No. 661-1).
12
1. For tightening motor V-belt on rigid base plate, remove appropriate quantity of shims (Part No. 324A) under the motor
until the desired total flex of the V-belt is approximately ½”.
1. For tightening motor V-belt on old style floating adjustable
motor mounting plates (Part No. 16015-10 and 16015-11),
loosen the upper wing nuts (Part No. 16015-3). Then
loosen the bottom wing nuts (Part No. 16015-3) which are
located under the mounting plate. This enables the motor
mounting plate to drop to the desired belt tension.
Re-tighten the upper wing nuts evenly so that the motor
stays horizontal. Do not tighten belt to extremes. This will
cause undue pressure on and premature failure of the motor bearings.
