Operating Controls
The control switch (Figure 14) turns the motor on, and also determines its direction – forward or reverse.
If a jam should occur while feeding a workpiece, DO NOT turn the stock feeder to reverse while the auxiliary machine is still running in forward direction.
If a workpiece becomes jammed, turn off both the auxiliary machine and the stock feeder. Raise the feeder in order to clear the workpiece.
Then reset the feeder height and begin the feedFigure 14 over again.
Operation
IMPORTANT: Before attempting operation of this stock feeder in conjunction with an auxiliary machine, you should be thoroughly familiar with the operating and safety instructions that were included with the auxiliary machine.
Keep hands away from rollers during operation. Failure to comply may cause injury.
General Operating Instructions
1.Make sure all lock handles are tight before operating the Stock Feeder.
2.The Stock Feeder should be used in conjunction with a fence on your auxiliary machine.
3.The rollers must grip the offcut, as well as the part of the workpiece still being fed.
4.On some machines, such as a shaper, the stock feeder can be mounted so that the rollers exert pressure from the top; or mounted edgewise so that the rollers exert pressure from the side, or mounted at an intermediate angle for beveled workpieces.
5.The feed rollers have a spring suspension with approximately 12mm lift, which will exert the necessary pressure against the workpiece. This pressure increases automatically with feed resistance, so that a workpiece of varying thickness can be fed through the stock feeder without adjustments.
