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. FEEDING SPEED. DO NOT overload the cutting tool by feeding too quickly. The cutting tool will perform better and be safer to work with at the rate for which it was designed. 4. 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 G4176 comes with a 5-15 plug, similar to Figure 2, to connect the machine to power.

Clean Up 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. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using any type of cleaning product.
Base Mounting Whichever way you mount your power feeder, you must be able to use the handcranks 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 8).
Mounting Options To correctly position this power feeder on your table top, completely assemble the power feeder first, then refer to this section and mount your base to the table using one of the two 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 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 table on Page 21. If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance. 6.
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. Loose hair, clothing, or jewelry could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury.
Changing Feed Speed Your power feeder has the option to feed a workpiece at six different feed rates: 13, 18, 25, 30, 41, and 62 feet per minute. These rates are achieved by changing the combination of change gears in the power feeder gear box. Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. To change the feed rate of your power feeder: 1. Move the switch to the OFF position. 2.
