5. Place removable finger lift with saw guard assembly on
the saw guide bar and fasten in place with four point
finger lift fastener knob.
6. The side platter bracket 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.
7. Machine MUST be properly grounded. Use qualified
electrician to install according to building codes.
WIRING MOTOR
(1) Interchange of motor current is made in motor outlet box. Leads are properly marked. Changing
instructions are on motor plate or inside junction box cover.
(2) All saws 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 installations.
8. All machines are tested at the factory, but electrical phasing for proper rotation may not match your electrical
supply. Some Model 3334’s have removable lower wheel when the option is ordered from the factory. All
machines with removable lower wheel must be first test run for proper phasing with the lower wheel removed.
Failure to remove the lower wheel could cause the wheel to become dislodged during testing.
All machines with removable lower wheel will display the following decal on the right hinged base door.

the nylon filler in the stationary bar. Hang the blade on the upper wheel and hold with right hand. With the left
hand force the back of the blade between the front blade scrapers, located below the stationary bar. Lower the
nylon filler. Be sure the blade is in the upper saw guide. The blade has dropped over the lower wheel. Switch
hands holding the blade on the upper wheel. With the right hand, force the blade between the rear blade
scrapers. The blade is now ready to be tightened.
10. Turn the blade tensioning handle clockwise until the tension mark is even with the bottom of the upper wheel
hinge plate as shown. Carefully turn saw wheels by hand and watch for proper tracking of blade on the wheels.
