Basic Use & Care
You MUST assemble all guards, fences, and
hold-downs before starting your machine or
power feeder. Failure to heed this warning
could result in amputation or death!
Power feeders reduce kickback hazards and
improve cutting results by feeding in a consistent
and stable manner. Remember, DO NOT stand in
the path of potential kickback. When not in use,
support the power feeder with a wooden block so
the rollers are raised above the table and do not
compress from the weight of the power feeder.
The lock levers and hand cranks allow you to
adjust the power feeder tracking and height to
accommodate many workpiece sizes. Before
loosening any lock lever, always support the
power feeder with a block of wood so the power
feeder does not drop and cause damage.
Adjust the power feeder so it is toed-in approxi-
mately 1° to 1.5° towards the machine fence, as
shown in Figure 21. This adjustment will ensure
that the power feeder rollers slightly push the
workpiece against the fence during cutting opera-
tions. Use a featherboard on the infeed side to
assist with feeding long or large stock.

Next, adjust power feeder so the rollers are parallel
with the table surface and approximately
than the thickness of the workpiece, as shown in
Figure 22. This ensures that the workpiece will
not slip or hang during a cut. Always double check
that the power feeder rollers are always slightly
lower than the workpiece before you begin feed-
ing operations. Otherwise, the workpiece may slip
and kick back.
