Model 330IK SA Semi-Automatic Gear Driven Gravity Feed Slicer
Introduction
Introduction 1.1
Overview
This Operation and Safety Manual has been prepared to introduce you to the Brice Model 330IK
SA Semi-Automatic slicer. It explains the operation, cleaning and maintenance of the slicer in
simple, clear terms and with an emphasis on your safety.
Throughout the Manual procedures are supported by illustrations showing the parts involved and
the recommended safe method of handling those parts.
A word to the wise
This Manual is really two sets of instructions in one - some sections are relevant to all Brice slic-
ers, while other sections only concern a particular slicer or range of slicers.
Make sure that you read this Manual carefully so that you are familiar with the features and
procedures that are unique to the slicer that came with it.
How this Manual is arranged
This Manual is made up of four sections:
• Introduction - which explains the Manual, itself, safety issues associated with using a slicer,
gives a brief introduction to the features and components of the slicer and steps you through
the installation of the machine;
• Operation - explains the use of the slicer;
• Cleaning - explains the procedures for keeping the slicer clean; and
• Maintenance - details those procedures that you can perform to ensure the trouble-free
operation of the slicer.
Conventions and Symbols used in this Manual
To reduce confusion, and to highlight important points and safety matters, we have established
some standard terms and symbols:
• “slicer”
Whenever we talk about the slicer, we mean the slicer that is covered in this Manual.
• “foodstuff”
We use the word “foodstuff” to refer to any kind of meat or other food that is usually sliced
on a slicer.
• “meat table”
This is the table (usually on the right side of the slicer) on which you place the foodstuff to be
sliced. On gravity-feed slicers the meat table is steeply angled.
• “meat grip”
The meat grip is the device that holds the foodstuff in position on the meat table. It is usually
attached to the meat table and moves with the foodstuff as it is sliced.
• “Last Slice device”
This device (where fitted) is usually part of the meat grip and is used to hold small and hard-
to-handle stubs of processed foodstuffs (particularly meats) so that they can be sliced to the
last slice.
• “thickness control”
This is the mechanism by which you control the slice thickness, and is usually a large rotary
control on the front of the machine. It may or may not be illuminated, depending on the
individual slicer.
• “sharpener”
When we talk about the sharpener, we mean a built-in blade sharpening or grinding device
that has a grinding stone and, optionally, a finishing stone.

SAFETY
WARNINGS
This is an electrical device that uses mains (either single phase 240 Volt or 3 phase 380 Volt)
power. It uses a high speed rotating blade that is extremely sharp. You must be careful in how you
handle the slicer at all times. The following special warnings must be complied with for your own
safety and the safety of others.
THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THIS SLICER. ALL
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED TO EARTH AND ARE SEALED
FOR YOUR SAFETY. YOU MUST NOT ATTEMPT TO TOUCH ANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
OR WIRES - YOU MAY EXPOSE YOURSELF TO THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY BY
ELECTROCUTION.
UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE MUST BE
PERFORMED WITH THE POWER TO THE SLICER SWITCHED OFF AND THE SLICER’S POWER
CORD DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWERPOINT. FAILURE TO TURN OFF AND DISCONNECT
POWER MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY CAUSED BY THE SLICER BEING ACCIDENTLY
TURNED ON DURING CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE.
Slicer blades are extremely sharp and can cut through fingers and hands just as easily as
products to be sliced.
WHENEVER YOU CARRY OUT ANY PROCEDURE THAT PLACES YOUR HANDS ON OR NEAR THE
SLICER BLADE YOU MUST WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE HAND COVERINGS SUCH AS STEEL
MESH GLOVES TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURY FROM THE BLADE.
• The Special Note flag
This is an upside-down triangle with an exclamation mark inside it. It appears in the left
margin of the page, like this, whenever we want to draw your attention to an important point.
• The “No Hands” warning flag
This is a circle with the outline of a hand and a black bar through the hand. It appears
wherever we want to warn you that either: you shouldn’t put your hands in or near a
particular component; or that you must wear steel mesh protective gloves to carry out a
particular procedure.
• The “Power” warning flags
There are two power warning flags. The first, a lightning bolt inside an upside-down triangle,
is used whenever we want to remind and warn you that the slicer is connected to the mains
power supply. The second warning flag is a circle with the outline of a lighting bolt and a
black bar through the bolt. It appears to remind you that a particular procedure must be
carried out with the power to the slicer turned off at the powerpoint and the slicer’s power
plug disconnected from the powerpoint.

Installing the
slicer
Positioning the slicer
No matter where you put the slicer, you must allow at least as much space as the overall dimen-
sions indicate. Allowing an additional minimum of 20cm either side of the slicer will make access
for cleaning and maintenance easier.
Make sure that the surface that you intend placing the slicer on is solid, flat, level, dry and
smooth. Ideally, the surface should be between 80cm and 90cm high.
Electrical connections
The slicer connects to a single phase 240 Volts power supply using the power cord supplied.
Simply connect the plug on the end of the power cord to the power point.

1.4 Introduction
Cleaning and function check
Before you use the slicer, we recommend that you clean all exposed surfaces with a soft cloth
that has been placed in clean warm water and light detergent and squeezed dry. This will remove
any traces of machine oil, dirt or grit picked up during manufacture or storage.
Before you clean the machine, make sure that the thickness control is set to zero so that
the slicer blade edge is shielded, and make sure that the power is turned off.
Once the slicer is clean you can check that it is functioning correctly.
1. Ensure that all the supplied guards and blade shields are correctly fitted.
2. Using the carriage pusher handle (3), pull the carriage to the front of the machine. Make sure
that the thickness control (2) is set to zero and that the thickness plate (13) is flush with the
blade. Push in the Auto/Manual Carriage Selector knob (17).
3. Switch on power to the machine at the power point. On the control panel, press and hold
the key until the blade motor starts, and check that the blade rotates in a counter-clock-
wise direction, and that the operating light above the key illuminates. Press the key and
confirm that the blade stops.
4. Check that the meat table carriage (5) moves easily and that it does not stick at any point
along its travel. If the carriage is difficult to move, or seems to stick now and then, refer to
the Maintenance section for instructions on lubrication.
5. Check that the meat grip (11) moves freely along the length of its travel. If the meat grip
is difficult to move, or seems to stick now and then, refer to the Maintenance section for
instructions on lubrication.
6. Check that the thickness control (2) operates smoothly. Be sure to return it to the zero mark
before proceeding.
7. Check that the sharpener (10) operates correctly by first lifting the mechanism using the
knob on top of the sharpener housing, and then rotating it 180˚ clockwise. Return the sharp-
ener to its storage position.
8. To check automatic operation, pull the meat table carriage to the front, pull out the Auto/
Manual Carriage Selector knob (17), and turn the thickness control (2) to 5mm. Press and
hold the key until the blade motor starts.
9. On the control panel select Maximum stroke length ( ) and Minimum speed ( )
and then press the key. The carriage should now begin to move smoothly and continu-
ously.
10. Verify that the carriage stops when the thickness control (2) is set to zero. Restart the slicer
by repeating steps 8 and 9, and also verify that the carriage stops when the key is
pressed.
11. With the carriage motor off, return the slicer to manual mode by pushing in the Auto/Manual
Carriage Selector knob (17). Turn off the blade motor by pressing the key.
The Control Panel

Operation and Safety Manual ™

Operation
Things to keep in mind
1. The foodstuff should only be loaded onto the meat table with the thickness control set
to zero and the power switched off at the control panel.
Aside from being essential to your safety, these conditions keep the foodstuff to be
sliced (particularly if it is solid) from being accidently knocked against the cutting
edge of the blade, which could be damaged.
2. The recommended, and only safe way of moving the meat table during slicing
operations is either with the meat table handle or by setting the machine to AUTO
mode.
3. The manual slicing movement should be done with a speed that is constant and
appropriate to the density and/or hardness of the foodstuff to be sliced. The general
rule-of-thumb is that the harder the foodstuff, the slower the slicing.
Following this rule will result in a slice with a good, clean appearance, without putting
undue strain on either the cutting blade or the motor.
4. Sharpen the blade as soon as the sliced foodstuff begins to look ragged or roughened,
or when the effort required to slice increases significantly. Refer to the Maintenance
section for the correct procedure for blade sharpening.
Manual operation
Begin using the slicer by returning the thickness control (2) to zero and making sure that the
meat tray carriage is pulled to the front of the slicer.
1. Place the foodstuff on the meat tray with the side to be sliced touching the thickness plate
(13) and up against the meat tray fence (7).
2. Swing the meat grip/Last Slice device (11) over so that it rests on top of the foodstuff.
3. Set the desired thickness of slice using the thickness control (2).
4. Push the Auto/Manual Carriage selector knob (17) fully in to the MANUAL position.
5. On the control panel, press and hold the key until the blade motor starts. The white
indicator light above the key will illuminate.
6. Grasp the meat table handle (3) firmly and push the meat table away from you towards the
back of the slicer. Once the slice has been cut, pull the meat table back towards you.
7. Repeat step 6 as often as required to obtain the number of slices needed.
8. When you have finished slicing, make sure that the meat table is pulled to the front of the
slicer and switch off the power at the control panel by pressing the key.

Automatic operation
Begin by setting the thickness control (2) to zero and making sure that the meat tray carriage is
pulled to the front of the slicer.
1. Place the foodstuff on the meat tray with the side to be sliced touching the thickness plate
(13) and up against the meat tray fence (7).
2. Swing the meat grip/Last Slice device (11) over so that it rests on top of the foodstuff.
3. Set the desired thickness of slice using the thickness control (2).
4. Pull out the Auto/Manual Carriage Selector knob to the AUTO position.
5. On the control panel, press and hold the key until the blade motor starts. The white
indicator light above the key will illuminate..
6. Select the desired stroke speed and stroke length on the control panel (1). For example
- Medium speed and Medium stroke length . Blue indicator lights should illuminate
below the selected speed and above the selected stroke length.
7. Press the key. The carriage should now begin to move smoothly and continuously.
8. When you have finished slicing, press the button to stop the carriage and switch off the
power at the control panel (2) by pressing the key.
Using the Last Slice device
Cleanly slicing the last 1 or 2 centimetres of foodstuffs on a slicer without wastage can be
difficult. This is particularly the case when slicing packaged foodstuffs with rounded-off ends (or
stubs). The Last Slice device overcomes the problem.
1. When the foodstuff is sliced down to the last 1 or 2 centimetres, raise the meat grip (11)
to its fully-open position and turn the foodstuff around so that the uncut end of the stub is
pressed against the thickness plate (13).
2. Lower and position the meat grip (11) behind the foodstuff so that the spikes of the Last
Slice device press into the cut face of the foodstuff.
3. Continue slicing until the remaining foodstuff has been cut.
The Adjustable Product Fence
The adjustable product fence (7) is designed to help hold the foodstuffs being sliced more
securely, in particular, smaller diameter products such as salami.
1. Raise the meat grip (11) to its fully-open position.
1. Place the foodstuff to be sliced firmly against the meat tray fence and adjust the position of
the product fence (7) by loosening the securing knob (6). Slide it against the product to be
sliced so that the foodstuff is securely held against the end of the meat tray.
2. Swing the meat grip (11) over and press down to insert spikes into the foodstuff about to
be sliced. The meat grip is not always required, if the foodstuff is heavy enough to self feed
down the meat tray.
2.2 Operation

Operation and Safety Manual ™
Model 330IK SA Semi-Automatic Gear Driven Gravity Feed Slicer
Cleaning the
Slicer
This section deals with cleaning your slicer, including blade cleaning.
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.
General Cleaning
The slicer has been designed and built for efficient and speedy cleaning to ensure hygienic
operation.
Before using the slicer
1. Before the slicer is switched on for the first time each day, quickly wipe over all exposed
surfaces with a cloth that has been placed in warm water and squeezed dry. This removes
any dust or other matter that may have been deposited over night.
2. Before the start of each cutting operation, and with the slicer switched off at the power
switch on the front of the machine, wipe down the thickness plate, the meat tray and the
receiving tray to remove any residual material left from the last cutting operation.
At the end of the day
1. After the slicer has been used for the last time, switch the machine off using the OFF button (
) and at the powerpoint, and disconnect the power cord.
2. Turn the thickness control to the Zero position.
3. Using the meat table pusher handle (5), pull the carriage to the front of the machine.
4. Turn the carriage securing knob (4) anti-clockwise to release the carriage and meat table
assembly. Fold the assembly out to the right of the machine.
5. With a cloth that has been placed in warm water and mild detergent and squeezed dry, wipe
down all visible surfaces, particularly the meat table and Last Slice Device.
Cleaning the Blade
After the machine has been cleaned as described above, you can now clean the slicer blade,
itself.
You must wear appropriate hand protection, such as steel mesh safety gloves, for this
procedure as it involves uncovering and touching the blade. You risk serious injury if you
do not wear protective gloves.
1. With the carriage and meat table assembly removed, undo the blade cover securing knob
(13) and lift the blade cover (10) straight off the blade.
2. Loosen the fixing screw on the slice deflector (11) and remove to expose the back of the
blade.
3. Clean the centre plate with a warm damp cloth.
4. The blade is now completely exposed. Wearing steel mesh protective gloves, wipe down the
blade surfaces (front and back) using a warm, damp cloth.
Cleaning 3.1

Operation and Safety Manual
™
Model 330IK SA Semi-Automatic Gear Driven Gravity Feed Slicer
5. Insert a damp cloth between the blade and the blade guard and pull it through and around
the inside of the blade guard to clean this area.
6. Dry off the blade and lightly smear on some protective oil using the cloth supplied. Make
sure that you are still wearing the steel mesh glove.
7. Replace the slice deflector (11) and tighten the fixing screw.
8. Replace the blade cover so that the nut on the underside of the plate engages the blade
centre.
9. While pressing down on the centre of the plate push and turn the blade cover securing knob
to engage it in the blade cover. Tighten the knob.
10. Replace the meat table and carriage assembly and tighten the securing knob.
Make sure that the edge of the meat table sits right up against the blade cover. You may have
to push the meat table back to the end of its travel to seat it correctly.
The slicer is now clean and ready for use.
Cleaning Schedule
How frequently the slicer is cleaned will depend on how heavily the machine is used. However,
we recommend that you adopt the following cleaning schedule as a MINIMUM requirement to
maintain hygiene.

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. Switch the slicer off at the power switch ( ) 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 (7) 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
attempt 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.

Model 330IK SA Semi-Automatic Gear Driven Gravity Feed Slicer
Blade sharpening
The self-contained blade sharpener (with its own grinding and finishing stones) makes blade
sharpening a simple task.
However, because you must clean the blade before sharpening, you must wear protective
steel mesh gloves during this operation.
Part of this operation requires the slicer to be switched on with the blade rotating. You
should take the utmost care during that phase of the operation.
The slicer blade requires regular sharpening to work cleanly and efficiently. How often you
sharpen the blade will depend on the condition of the blade after use and the type of products
being sliced.
To keep the blade working efficiently, we recommend that you sharpen it at least once every day.
You should keep in mind the following things when sharpening the blade:
1. The blade should only be sharpened after the slicer has been cleaned as specified in the
previous section; and
2. The sharpener cannot function properly once the blade diameter has been reduced by more
than 10mm. Contact your authorised Brice technician to arrange for a replacement once the
blade wears to this point.
To sharpen the blade:
1. Switch the slicer off at the power switch and at the powerpoint, and disconnect the power
cord.
2. Follow the instructions in the previous section for disassembling and cleaning the blade.
Replace and secure the centre plate but do not oil the blade at this stage.
The centre plate must be secured to enable the machine to operate.
3. Lift the sharpener cover and rotate 180° clockwise. Lower the cover so that the sharpening
stones sit either side of the blade.
4. Plug the slicer back into the powerpoint, and switch the slicer on by pressing the ( ) key
so that the blade begins to rotate.
5. Push the plunger (1) in to engage the sharpening stone against the blade. Hold it in for about
10 seconds.
6. Without releasing the sharpening stone, pull the toggle (2) to engage the deburring wheel.
Hold both the sharpening stone and the deburring wheel for about 10 seconds.
7. Release both sharpening stone and deburring wheel simultaneously.
8. Turn the blade off at the power switch ( ) and at the powerpoint.
9. Lift the sharpener cover and rotate 180° anti-clockwise. Lower the cover back into place.
10. It may be necessary to wipe off metal fragments from the sharpening process. Use a soft
cloth to do this.
Periodically, the sharpening stones will need to be cleaned to remove dirt and grease. Use a
suitable cleaning compound, such as alcohol, and the special brush provided to clean the stones.
