SAFETY

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and fol- lowed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. No list of safety guidelines can be complete—every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

1.SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Always use appropriate 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 per- form better and be safer working 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 between the rollers and workpiece.

5.WORKPIECE SUPPORT. DO NOT feed long workpieces without providing adequate support 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 performing the intend- ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact Tech Support at (360) 734-3482.

9.MACHINE MANUAL. This manual only covers the power feeder. It is not a replacement for the manual that came with the machine on which the power feeder is mounted. Make sure to read that manual also for correct operation and safety precautions.
