Basic Use and Care

You MUST assemble all guards, fences, and
hold-downs before starting your machine or
power feeder. Failure to heed this warning
could result in amputation or death!
Power feeders reduce kickback hazards and
improve cutting results by feeding in a consistent
and stable manner. Remember, do not stand in
the path of potential kickback. When not in use,
support the power feeder with a wooden block so
the rubber wheels are raised above the table and
do not compress from the weight of the power
feeder.
Lock levers and handcranks on this power feeder
allow adjustment of its tracking and height to
accommodate many workpiece sizes. Before
loosening any lock lever, always support the
power feeder with a wooden block so the power
feeder does not drop and cause damage.
Adjust the power feeder so it is toed-in approxi-
mately 1° to 1.5° towards the machine fence.
This adjustment will ensure that the power feeder
wheels lightly push the workpiece against the
fence during cutting operations (see Figure 12 on
Page 16). Use a featherboard on the infeed side
to assist with feeding long or large stock.
Next, adjust the power feeder so the rubber
wheels are parallel with the table surface and
approximately ⁄ " lower than the thickness of
1
8
the workpiece. This adjustment ensures that
the workpiece will not slip or hang during a cut.
Double-check that the power feeder wheels are
slightly lower than the workpiece before you begin
feeding operations. Otherwise, the workpiece
may slip and kick back.
