Your power feeder has the option to feed a workpiece at 13, 26, 33, and 66 feet per minute. These rates are achieved by changing the combination of change gears, shown in Figure 12, and turning the motor switch to high or low range operation, shown in Figure 13.
Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Otherwize, serious per- sonal injury may occur!
