Test Run
Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing rolled up and long hair tied up and away from machin- ery.
Once the assembly is complete, test run your power feeder to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation. The test run consists of verifying that the motor powers up and runs correctly, and that the rollers operate.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page 23.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech Support at (570)
