When Used with a Table Saw
1.Position the Stock Feeder so that the axis of the saw blade lines up between the center roller and infeed roller. See Figure 18. This will allow the Stock Feeder to grip the offcut of the workpiece as it leaves the blade.
2.Rotate the Stock Feeder so that the direction of feed is angled slightly toward the fence by approximately 3/16” (5mm); that is, the outfeed roller should be slightly closer to the fence than the infeed roller. See Figure 18.
When Used with a Jointer
1.Mount the stock feeder on a jointer so that all rollers are over the outfeed table, as shown in Figure 19.
2.The infeed roller should be approximately 3/16” away from the lip of the outfeed table at the cutter area. See Figure 19.
3.Rotate the Stock Feeder so that the direction of feed is angled slightly toward the fence by approximately 3/16” (5mm); that is, the outfeed roller should be slightly closer to the fence than the infeed roller. See Figure 19.
Roller Removal/Replacement
If more space is needed between rollers, for example when feeding a curved workpiece, the center roller can be removed from the Stock Feeder. To remove the roller, loosen and remove the two socket head cap screws (Figure
20)with a 5mm hex wrench and pull the roller off the shaft.
Maintenance
Before performing any maintenance on the Stock Feeder, disconnect its plug from the electrical supply. Also disconnect the auxiliary machine from the electrical supply. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
The rubber rollers should be kept clean of grease, sawdust and other debris. Use a soft cloth with soap and water to wipe down the rollers. DO NOT use a solvent on the rubber rollers.
