Adjustments – Powermatic 3-Roll Powered Stock Feeder PF3-JR User Manual

The green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab,
extending from the adapter, must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box, as shown in Figure 7.
Make sure the voltage of your power supply
matches the specifications on the motor plate of
the machine.
Extension Cords
If an extension cord is necessary make sure the
cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on
the machine's motor plate. An undersize cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating.
The chart in Figure 8 shows the correct size
cord to use based on cord length and motor
plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number
the heavier the cord.
Adjustments
Basic Feeder/Stand Movements
To move the vertical column up or down, loose n
the lock handle (A, Figure 9) and rotate the
handle (B, Figure 9). When adjustment is
complete, re-tighten lock handle (A, Figure 9).
To move the horizontal arm forward or back,
loosen the lock handle (C, Figure 9) and rotate
the handle (D, Figure 9). When adjustment is
complete, re-tighten lock handle (C, Figure 9).
The vertical column and horizontal arm have
stop screws (E, Figure 9) which prevent them
from being moved too far.
To rotate the entire stand assembly, loosen the
lock handle (F, Figure 9) and push the assembly
into desired position. Tighten lock handle before
operating the stock feeder.
To rotate the stock feeder alone, loosen lock
handle (G, Figure 9). Tighten lock handle before
operating the stock feeder.
Edgewise Stock Feeder Position
The stock feeder can be turned “edgewise” so
that the feed is along the side of the workpiece.
See Figure 10.
To create this position:
1. Loosen the screw on the arm cone (A,
Figure 10) with a 14mm wrench, and slide
the Stock Feeder off the horizontal arm.
2. Place the Stock Feeder edgewise with the
rollers toward the bottom, as shown in
Figure 10.
