When Used with a Table Saw
1. Position the Stock Feeder so that the axis of
the saw blade lines up between the center
roller and infeed roller. See Figure 18. This
will allow the Stock Feeder to grip the offcut
of the workpiece as it leaves the blade.
2. Rotate the Stock Feeder so that the
direction of feed is angled slightly toward the
fence by approximately 3/16” (5mm); that is,
the outfeed roller should be slightly closer to
the fence than the infeed roller. See Figure
18.
When Used with a Jointer
1. Mount the stock feeder on a jointer so that
all rollers are over the outfeed table, as
shown in Figure 19.
2. The infeed roller should be approximately
3/16” away from the lip of the outfeed table
at the cutter area. See Figure 19.
3. Rotate the Stock Feeder so that the
direction of feed is angled slightly toward the
fence by approximately 3/16” (5mm); that is,
the outfeed roller should be slightly closer to
the fence than the infeed roller. See Figure
19.
Roller Removal/Replacement
If more space is needed between rollers, for
example when feeding a curved workpiece, the
center roller can be removed from the Stock
Feeder. To remove the roller, loosen and
remove the two socket head cap screws (Figure
20) with a 5mm hex wrench and pull the roller
off the shaft.
Maintenance
Before performing any
maintenance on the Stock Feeder,
disconnect its plug from the electrical
supply. Also disconnect the auxiliary
machine from the electrical supply. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury.
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in
any way, have it replaced immediately.
The rubber rollers should be kept clean of
grease, sawdust and other debris. Use a soft
cloth with soap and water to wipe down the
rollers. DO NOT use a solvent on the rubber
rollers.
