Additional Safety for Power Feeders 1. SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Always use appropriate machine guards. 2. TOOL SPEED. Make sure all cutting tools are rotating at the operating speed before feeding the workpiece. 3. 4. FEEDING SPEED. DO NOT overload the cutting tool by feeding too quickly. The cutting tool will perform better and be safer working at the rate for which it was designed. HAND SAFETY. Keep hands away from rotating parts on the feeder and the cutting tool.
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS 110V Operation Power Connection Device The Model G4173 comes with a 5-15 plug, similar to Figure 2, to connect the machine to power.
SECTION 3: SETUP Setup Safety This machine presents serious injury hazards to untrained users. Read through this entire manual to become familiar with the controls and operations before starting the machine! Wear safety glasses during the entire setup process!

Clean Up Assembly The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to prevent corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or degreaser, such as shown in Figure 5. For thorough cleaning, some parts must be removed. For optimum performance, clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces. Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner that may damage painted surfaces.
9. Place the arm into the arm bracket so the teeth of the gear and arm mesh as shown in Figure 9. Power Feed Socket Arm Ball-Joint Ball Note: No lubrication is required for the gear or rack teeth. Oil or grease will gather debris, making the horizontal adjustment of the power feeder difficult. Arm Bracket Arm Cap Screw Figure 7. Arm, ball joint and socket assembly. 5. Insert the ball-joint socket into the power feed socket as shown in Figure 7, so it rests against the ball-joint ball.
12. Place the E-clip on the end of the horizontal crank to retain the crank as shown in Figure 11. 15. Position the arm bracket onto the elbow clamp as shown in Figure 13. E-Clip Figure 11. Horizontal crank handle E-clip. Figure 13. Arm bracket and elbow clamp assembly. 13. Turn the horizontal crank to make sure that the cover bolts are not too tight or too lose. Adjust the three cover hex bolts as required to achieve a slight drag between the arm and arm bracket. 16.
Base Mounting Whichever way you mount your power feeder, you must be able to use the handwheels and lock levers to position the rubber wheels parallel with the table surface and 1⁄8" lower than the thickness of your workpiece. Position the power feeder on the table top to determine where to drill your base mounting holes, so you can maximize power feeder swing and adjustment options. Also, you must be able to point the power feeder slightly towards the machine fence (Figure 15).
Mounting Options To correctly position this power feeder on your table top, completely assemble the power feeder first, then refer this section and mount your base to the table using one of the three methods below. The reason for this order is that with the power feeder unit completely assembled, it will be easier to locate where on the table top you will need to drill your base mounting holes, so you can take advantage of the full range of power feeder swing and adjustments.
Test Run Speed Dial OFF Feet Per Minute Scale 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. Meters Per Minute Scale Once the assembly is complete, test run your power feeder to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation. The test run consists of verifying that the motor powers up and runs correctly, and that the rollers operate.
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS Operation Safety To reduce the risk of serious injury when using this machine, read and understand this entire manual before beginning any operations. Damage to your eyes and lungs could result from using woodworking machinery without proper protective gear. Always wear safety glasses and a respirator when operating this machine. Basic Use and Care You MUST assemble all guards, fences, and hold-downs before starting your machine or power feeder.
SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE Cleaning Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Schedule Frequently blow-off sawdust with compressed air. This is especially important for the internal working parts and motor. Dust build-up around the motor is a sure way to decrease its life span. If the wheels become loaded up with pitch, oil, or other residues, wipe them clean using a clean rag and a mild solvent.
SECTION 6: SERVICE Review the troubleshooting and procedures in this section to fix or adjust your machine if a problem develops. If you need replacement parts or you are unsure of your repair skills, then feel free to call our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663. Troubleshooting Motor & Electrical Symptom Possible Cause Possible Solution Motor will not start. 1. Check power supply for proper voltage. 1. Low voltage. 2. Open circuit in motor or loose connections. 2.
Wheel Replacement Brush Replacement If you damage one or more wheels, you can easily replace the wheels. After a long period of time you may notice the motor lose some power or begin to growl during operation. This indicates that the motor brushes are worn and need replacement. The brushes can be easily replaced. Tools Needed Qty • Phillips Screwdriver #2................................ 1 • Small Pin-Type Retaining Ring Pliers.......... 1 • Safety Glasses............................................
