Additional Safety for Power Feeders
1.SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Always use appro- priate 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. Do not allow hands or clothing to be pinched beween the rollers and workpiece.
5.WORKPIECE SUPPORT. DO NOT feed long workpieces without providing adequate sup- port at the outfeed end of the table.
6.STOPPING FEEDER. Always stop the feeder before stopping the cutting tool.
7.ADJUSTMENTS. Disconnect the feeder from its power source before cleaning, repairing, or making adjustments.
8.EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties per- forming the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact Tech Support at (570)
