W1764 Power Feeder

OPERATIONS

General

This machine will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incor- rectly.

The instructions in this section are written with the under- standing that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any time you experience difficulties performing any operation, stop using the machine!

If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recom- mend that you read books, trade articles, or seek training from an experienced power feeder operator before per- forming any unfamiliar operations. Above all, your safety should come first!

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

Levers

The levers on this power feeder allow you to adjust the power feeder tracking and height to accommodate many workpiece styles. When adjusting the power feeder, always support the power feeder with a block of wood so when a lever is loosened the feeder does not drop and damage the table or feeder.

Alignment

To use the power feeder properly, the three wheels must be parallel with the table surface and 18" lower than the thickness of your workpiece. The power feeder must also point towards the machine fence slightly. In other words the tracking of the power feeder must be toed-in approxi- mately 1° to 1.5° degrees towards the machine fence, so the power feeder wheels push the workpiece against the fence slightly during cutting operations.

Dust Port

For machine operations that generate a lot of dust, this power feeder is equipped with a dust port. Simply remove the plastic knock-out plug at the bottom of the port and connect a 138" inside diameter Shop Vac hose.

DO NOT investigate problems or adjust the machine while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned OFF, unplugged and all working parts have come to a complete stop before proceeding!

Always wear safety glasses when oper- ating this machine. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.
