Operating Controls The control switch for 3-phase units is shown in
Figure 15; the control switches for 1-phase units
are shown in Figure 16. Speeds are indicated by
the universal symbols of hare (high speed) and
tortoise (low speed). The switch can be turned
for either forward or reverse direction.
If a jam should occur while
feeding a workpiece, DO NOT turn the stock
feeder to reverse while the auxiliary machine
is still running in forward direction.
If a workpiece becomes jammed, turn off the
stock feeder, and then turn off the auxiliary
machine. Raise the stock feeder in order to clear
the workpiece. Then re-set the feeder height,
turn on auxiliary machine and stock feeder, and
begin the feed over again.
Operation IMPORTANT: Before operating the stock
feeder, you should be thoroughly familiar with
the safety and operating instructions that
accompanied the auxiliary machine.
Keep hands away from
rollers and cutting tool during operation.
Failure to comply may cause injury.
