OPERATIONS
General
This machine will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incor-
rectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the under-
standing that the operator has the necessary knowledge
and skills to operate this machine. If at any time you
experience difficulties performing any operation, stop
using the machine!
If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recom-
mend that you read books, trade articles, or seek training
from an experienced power feeder operator before per-
forming any unfamiliar operations. Above all, your safety
should come first!
Always wear safety glasses when oper-
ating this machine. Failure to comply
may result in serious personal injury.
DO NOT investigate problems or adjust
the machine while it is running. Wait
until the machine is turned OFF,
unplugged and all working parts
have come to a complete stop before
proceeding!
READ and understand this entire instruc-
tion manual before using this machine.
Serious personal injury may occur if
safety and operational information is not
understood and followed. DO NOT risk
your safety by not reading!
Levers
The levers on this power feeder allow you to adjust the
power feeder tracking and height to accommodate many
workpiece styles. When adjusting the power feeder,
always support the power feeder with a block of wood
so when a lever is loosened the feeder does not drop and
damage the table or feeder.
Alignment
To use the power feeder properly, the three wheels must
be parallel with the table surface and 1 ⁄
8
" lower than the
thickness of your workpiece. The power feeder must also
point towards the machine fence slightly. In other words
the tracking of the power feeder must be toed-in approxi-
mately 1° to 1.5° degrees towards the machine fence, so
the power feeder wheels push the workpiece against the
fence slightly during cutting operations.
Dust Port
For machine operations that generate a lot of dust, this
power feeder is equipped with a dust port. Simply remove
the plastic knock-out plug at the bottom of the port and
connect a 1 3 ⁄
8
" inside diameter Shop Vac hose.
