1 3 1 1 1 Unpacking Open shipping containers and check for shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Do not discard any shipping material until the Stock Feeder is mounted and running properly.
Assembly Tools needed for assembly (not provided): Electric drill center punch and hammer 10.5mm drill bit M12 x P1.75 tap 12mm and 19mm wrenches 4mm hex wrench Hardware needed for assembly (not provided): 4 M12 flat washers 4 M12 x P1.75 hex cap screws (length will depend upon thickness of saw table) Exposed metal areas of the Stock Feeder have been factory coated with a protectant. This should be removed with a soft cloth dampened with kerosene or mineral spirits.
6. Tighten the screws firmly with a 19mm wrench. 7. Insert the pin assembly into the hole (Figure 2). You may need to rotate it until it seats properly in the hole. 8. Install a flat washer and cast iron handle (Figure 2) to the threads of the top screw as shown, by screwing the handle down clockwise onto the screw threads. 9. In the area above the pin, remove the hex nut from the screw with a 19mm wrench, but leave the flat washer in place. In place of the hex nut, install the cam handle (Figure 2).
NOTE: The handle can be pivoted out of the way if necessary. Lift up on the handle, rotate the handle on its pin, then release the handle, making sure it fully seats itself on the pin. 16. Mount the stock feeder to the elevating column by sliding the stud of the stock feeder into the hole of the pivot joint (Figure 6). Install the remaining flat washer and handle onto the stud, and tighten the handle.
Extension Cords Recommended Gauges (AWG) of Extension Cords Extension Cord Length * If an extension cord is necessary make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine's motor plate. An undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The chart in Figure 7 shows the correct size cord to use based on cord length and motor plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.
Pivot To pivot the Stock Feeder (for maintenance, oil filling, etc.): 1. Loosen the handle (E, Figure 10) and pull up on the pin (F, Figure 10). 2. Pivot the Stock Feeder into position. (NOTE: At 90 degrees of pivot, as shown in Figure 10, the pin will lock into place.) 3. Re-tighten the handle (E, Figure 10). Figure 10 Operating Controls Switch The control switch is shown in Figure 11.
General Operating Instructions 1. Make sure all locking handles are tight before operating the Stock Feeder. 2. The Stock Feeder should be used in conjunction with a fence on the table saw. 3. The rollers must grip the offcut as well as the part of the workpiece being fed. 4. Position the Stock Feeder so that the axis of the saw blade lines up between the infeed roller and center roller. See Figure 13.
1. Loosen and remove the hex nut and flat washer on the roller shaft with a 24mm wrench. 2. Remove the outer roller. 3. Install a spacer on the shaft and flush against the inner roller as shown in Figure 15. 4. Re-install the outer roller. 5. Install the flat washer and hex nut and tighten with wrench. 6. Repeat for the other rollers if needed. Maintenance Before performing any maintenance on the Stock Feeder, disconnect it from the electrical supply by pulling out the plug or switching off the breaker.
Fill the oil reservoir about every 1,000 hours or six months, or sooner if needed. To fill with oil: 1. Pivot the Stock Feeder so that the rollers are facing down. See Figure 19. 2. Unscrew and remove the two socket head cap screws on the back cover with a 5mm hex wrench, and remove the back cover (Figure 19). 3. Unscrew the oil cap (Figure 19) and pour a good quality general purpose oil into the hole. Do not overfill. 4. When finished, install and tighten the oil cap, and install the back cover.
Troubleshooting Trouble Feeder will not start. Feed speed is not sufficient; machine has low power. Workpiece jams while feeding it beneath rollers. Workpiece slips while passing under rollers. Probable Cause Remedy Not connected to power source. Check plug connection. Fuse blown, or circuit breaker tripped. Replace fuse, or reset circuit breaker. Cord damaged. Replace cord. Extension cord too light or too long. Replace with adequate size and length cord.
