3. Clean the table surface, then peel away the backing from boring template increments, as you carefully apply the boring template onto the table. 4. Center punch drill four 10.5mm diameter holes in the table surface, then tap the holes with M12 x P1.75 threads. 5.
17. Mounting the feeder body may be easier if you loosen the two hex cap screws (shown in Figure 8) and rotate the over arm cone assembly so that the clamp is toward the bottom, as shown in Figure 9. Loosen the handles and rotate the cones as needed to get the clamp in position.
Extension Cords If an extension cord is necessary, make sure the Recommended Gauges (AWG) of Extension Cords cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine's motor plate. An undersize cord Extension Cord Length * will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Disconnect stock feeder from power source before opening the back cover or switching gears. To change the position of the gears: 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Unscrew the two knobs and pull off the back cover to expose the gear system, shown in Figure 13.
General Operating Instructions 1. Make sure all handles on the stock feeder and the feeder mounting assembly are tight before operating. 2. The stock feeder should be used in conjunction with a fence on your auxiliary machine. The fence should be securely fixed.
2. To ensure that the workpiece is held firmly against the fence, set the stock feeder at a slight angle toward the fence in the direction of feed. In other words, the outfeed roller should be approximately 3/16” (5mm) closer to the fence than the infeed roller.
2. Some woodworkers prefer to place the feeder so that all rollers are over the outfeed table, as shown in Figure 22. The infeed roller should be approximately 3/16” away from the lip of the outfeed table at the cutterhead area. 3.
NOTE: These cones are subject to high torque and it may be necessary to periodically re- tighten the handle until the cone surfaces become securely seated. Exposed metal areas, such as the column and the over arm, should be kept clean and free of rust.
