Test Run
Once power feeder assembly is complete and mounted on the table, you must test run your power feeder to make sure it runs properly.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the power feeder immediately, then review the Troubleshooting table on Page 21.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Technical Support at (570)
Loose hair, clothing, or
jewelry could get caught
in machinery and cause

Keep these items away
from moving parts at all times to reduce this risk.
To test run the power feed:
1.Read the entire instruction manual first!
2.Make sure all tools and foreign objects have been removed from the tabletop area.
3.Make sure that the power feeder gearbox oil level is full, the oil level should be 1" below the oil fill port. See Figure 1 on Page 5 for oil fill port location.
4.Ensure that all tools and objects used during set up are cleared away from the machine.
5.Adjust and lock the power feeder so the wheels are held approximately one inch above the table and nothing will interfere with wheel rotation.
6.Connect the power feeder to the power sup- ply and use the feed direction switch (Figure 11) to test operation in both directions.
—Listen and watch for abnormal noises or vibrations. The power feeder should run smoothly.
