Model 330IK Manual Gear Driven Gravity Feed Slicer
Maintenance
This section deals with routine maintenance for your slicer, including blade sharpening.
We recommend that, before cleaning or maintenance tasks are undertaken, the machine
operator(s) receive some training from authorised Brice representatives, preferably during
the installation phase.
Before carrying out cleaning or maintenance tasks, it is very important that:
1. Power to the slicer is disconnected at the powerpoint; and
2. The thickness control is set to its “zero” position.
Be very careful performing any cleaning or maintenance task that brings you close to, or in
contact with, the slicer blade. Always perform these tasks with the appropriate protection
- steel mesh safety gloves. The blade is very sharp and the risk of a cutting injury without
proper protection or due care is high.
Routine Maintenance
The robust design of the slicer means that there is very little required in the way of routine
maintenance. Generally, the only maintenance required is cleaning (discussed in the previous
section) and lubrication of the meat grip and carriage bars. Blade sharpening is required
when the blade no longer slices cleanly.
Cleaning
Normal cleaning, as specified in the previous section and in accordance with the recommended
schedule, is all that is required to maintain the external surfaces of the slicer.
We recommend that you clean the machine prior to any other maintenance operation so that
all surfaces are free of and grease. This makes the machine easier and safer to handle.
Lubrication
1. Turn the slicer off by pressing the red OFF button, and at the powerpoint, and disconnect
the power cord.
2. Deposit two or three drops of oil on the guide bar of the last slice device (12) and slide
the last slice device back and forth several times along the guide bar to evenly distribute
the oil.
3. Push the meat carriage all the way to the back of the machine.
4. Raise the front of the machine high enough so that there is clear access to the carriage
guide bar on the underside.
DO NOT attempt to do this unaided. The machine is very heavy and it is dangerous to at-
tempt to hold the front of the machine up while oiling the carriage guide bar. Either obtain
the assistance of another person or securely prop the front of the machine up with an
appropiately solid prop of some kind.
5. Deposit two or three drops of oil in each of the positions shown in the picture below.
6. Lower the front of machine and slide the meat carriage back and forth several times to
evenly distribute the oil.
