Stock feed
Align the stock to be cut with the top
of
the table. If the stock
is
too thick to be
cut, immediately lower the table by means
of
the
crank handle
so
as
to reduce
the
size
of the cut.

Precautions when feeding
*Attempting to feed outsized stock will cause abnormal wear on the rubber rollers.
Keep on the
level
so
that cutter action and roller wear will be even.
