manual abstract
Leave enough space around the work area for loading and off-loading stock and general maintenance. The stock feeder and the auxiliary machine to which you are mounting it should both be disconnected from power during installation. 1. Determine the mounting location for the stand. Keep in mind the overall length of the horizontal arm on the stand (27-1/2”) so that there will be enough adjustment when the Stock Feeder is mounted. IMPORTANT: Locate the stand so that you will not drill through any ribs or supports beneath the table surface. 2. Use the provided boring template to find the centerline spacing for the holes in the feeder’s base. Clean the mounting surface, then remove the backing from the boring template and stick the template carefully into place on the mounting surface. NOTE: The same template can be found on page 25. 3. Center punch and drill four 8.5 millimeter diameter holes in the surface, then tap the holes with M10 x P1.5 threads. Alternatively, if you plan to secure the stand with hex nuts from below the mounting surface, drill clearance holes of 7/16” diameter without tapping. 4. Peel off the boring template and discard. 5. Loosen the lock handle and remove the base from the stand assembly, shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 9 6. Place the base over the hole pattern. Align the four holes of the base with the holes in the mounting surface. Make sure the lock handle is positioned in a convenient place before tightening the base to the mounting surface. 7. Insert four M10 screws (not provided) through the holes of the base and into the holes on the mounting surface. See Figure 2. Tighten screws securely. 8. The stand assembly can be oriented with either of the columns in horizontal or vertical position. It is recommended, however, that the longer lead screw be placed in the horizontal position, as shown in Figure 3; this will allow maximum adjustment for the stock feeder across the surface of the workpiece. Slide the vertical column down into the base and tighten the lock handle (Figure 3). 9. Attach a handle (Figure 4) to each elevating handle, by screwing the threads of the handle into the hole on the elevating handle. 10. The handle (Figure 4) should be adjusted so that it can move freely. Loosen the hex nut with a 14mm (9/16”) wrench, and turn the socket head cap screw with a 5mm hex wrench until the handle is just loose enough to turn freely. Then tighten the hex nut against the elevating handle. 11. Rest the Stock Feeder on the mounting surface, as shown in Figure 5. Lower the horizontal arm by rotating the top hand wheel until the arm is at a convenient height for mounting the Stock Feeder. (See “Basic Feeder/Stand Movements” for detailed explanation of stand movements.) 12. Make sure the hex cap screw (A, Figure 5) is loosened on the sleeve of the Stock Feeder. Use a 14mm wrench. 13. Slide the arm cone of the Stock Feeder onto the horizontal arm as far as it will go, then tighten the hex cap screw (A, Figure 5). 10 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Grounding Instructions Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury. This Stock Feeder must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug similar to the one shown in Figure 6. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment- grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. 115 Volt Operation As received from the factory, your Stock Feeder is ready to run at 115 volt operation. It is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks similar to the one illustrated in Figure 6. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter as illustrated in Figure 7, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure 7, if a properly grounded outlet is not ava...
