test Run

once the power feeder assembly is complete and
it is mounted on the table, you must test run your
power feeder to make sure it runs properly.
if, during the test run, you cannot easily locate
the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop
using the power feeder immediately, then review
the troubleshooting on Page 23.
if you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our
technical support at (570) 546-9663 for assis-
tance.
Loose hair, clothing, or
jewelry could get caught
in machinery and cause
serious personal injury.
Keep these items away
from moving parts at all
times to reduce this risk.
to test run the power feed:
1. read the entire instruction manual first!
2. Make sure all tools and foreign objects have
been removed from the tabletop area.
3. Make sure that the power feeder gearbox oil
level is full, the oil level should be 1" below
the oil fill port. see Figure 1 on Page 5 for oil
fill port location.
4. Ensure that all tools and objects used during
set up are cleared away from the machine.
5.
adjust and lock the power feeder so the
wheels are held approximately one inch
above the table and nothing will interfere with
wheel rotation.
