ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLY TOOLS REQUIRED 7/16" Wrench 1/2" Wrench 3/8" Wrench 5/16" Wrench 4mm Hex Wrench Phillips Screwdriver ASSEMBLY TIME ESTIMATE Approximately 2-4 hours The Versa-FeederTM can be assembled as shown in Figs. 3 or Fig. 4, depending on the operation and type of woodworking machine on which the stock feeder will mount. The following instructions pertain to the assembly in Fig. 3. IMPORTANT: Familiarize yourself with the following assembly instructions and the components of the machine.
2. Place the pivot ball housing (F) Fig. 7 in the sleeve (G) of stock feeder. NOTE: Position the slot in the pivot ball housing (F) "up" (Fig. 8). 3. Insert the overarm (B) Fig. 9 with pivot ball (A) attached, through the housing (F) until the pivot ball (A) is inside the housing (F). Bring the overarm (B) Fig. 10 over and inside the slot in pivot ball housing (F). Push the pivot ball and the overarm (A) forward until the pivot ball is at the front of housing (F). 4.
5. Insert the metal shaft (J) Fig. 12 through the hole in the side of the sleeve (G) and into the wide slots of the pivot cover (H) Fig. 12. Thread the T-handle screw (K) Fig. 13 into the hole of the shaft (J), just enough to hold the pivot pin assembly in position. 6. Fig. 14 illustrates the pivot ball and overarm attached to the stock feeder. 7. Loosely thread three M10 x 50MM hex head screws (L) Fig. 15 into the holes in the overarm clamp assembly (M). 8. Insert an M8 hex nut (P) Fig.
9. Insert the end of the overarm assembly (B) Fig. 18 into the clamp assembly (M) until the gear inside the clamp assembly meshes with the rack on the overarm. Turn the T-handle screw (S) counter-rclockwise until the clamp assembly (M) is securely positioned on the overarm assembly (B). IMPORTANT: Depending on the application, the overarm assembly (B) can be inserted into either end of the clamp assembly (M). 10. Position three lockwashers and M10 hex nuts (T) Fig.
ALTERNATE ASSEMBLY ARRANGEMENT To assemble the Versa-FeederTM in the mounting arrangement shown in Fig. 4, attaching the pivot ball to the overarm clamp assembly differs slightly. To assemble: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Remove the overarm (A) Fig. 24 from the overarm clamp assembly (B). Remove the swivel joint (C) Fig. 24 and mounting bracket (D) from the clamp assembly (B). Remove the overarm (A) Fig. 25 from the housing (E). Remove the pivot ball (F) Fig. 26 from the angled end of the overarm (A).
6. Insert the straight end of the overarm (A) Fig. 29 through the housing (E). Attach the pivot ball (F) Fig. 29 to the overarm (A) with a 3/8-16 x 1" socket hex head screw and lock-washer (K) Fig. 30. NOTE: Make certain that the screw and lockwasher (K) are recessed inside pivot ball (F). 7. Push the pivot ball, attached to the overarm (A) Fig. 31, to the front of the housing (E). Place the cover (M) over the pivot ball (F) with the wider slots of the cover (M) positioned horizontally.
MOUNTING THE VERSA-FEEDERTM TO A MACHINE TABLE Decide on the location you wish to mount the Versa-FeederTM on your machine. Refer to Figs. 44, 45, and 46 for assistance when mounting the stock feeder assembly to a table saw, jointer, or shaper. To mount the stock feeder assembly to a machine table: 1. Position the mounting bracket (A) Fig. 35 at your desired location. 2. Mark the location where four mounting holes are to be drilled. 3.
MACHINE USE DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 1. You can rotate the entire feeder assembly (A) Fig. 38 360 degrees in the mounting bracket by loosening the locking lever (B). 2. To raise or lower the feeder assembly (A) Fig. 38 , loosen the lever (C) and move the overarm (D). 3. To move the feeder assembly (A) Fig. 38 in or out, loosen the locking lever (E) and rotate the T-handle screw (F). 4. To adjust the position of the stock feeder (A) Fig. 38, loosen the T-handle screw (G). 5.
REPLACING FEED ROLLERS Each feed roller is removable for repair or replacement. To remove the feed rollers: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 1. 2. 3. 4. Loosen the three screws (A) Fig. 42 and remove the cover (B). Remove the retaining ring (C) Fig. 43, and lift off the feed roller (D). Replace the rollers. Replace the retaining rings, cover and screws. Fig. 43 Fig. 42 D A C B USING THE STOCK FEEDER ON A TABLE SAW A Position the feeder assembly (A) Fig.
USING THE STOCK FEEDER ON A SHAPER A Position the feeder assembly (A) Fig. 46 so that the shaper cutter is between the middle roller (B) and infeed roller (C). The outfeed roller (D) should be approximately 1/4" closer to the outfeed fence (E) than the infeed roller (C).
