STEP 7:
Aligning Feeder with
Insert Station
1. Position the feeder on the rear deck plate so the two slots on
the back deck plate line up with two threaded holes in the bot -
tom of the feeder (Figure 2-14A).
2. Install the provided (2 each) #8 flat washers on the T-handle
screw assemblies before proceeding to step 3.
3. Using the two provided T-handle screws, start these part way
into the bottom threaded holes of the feeder base plate from
the underside of the back deck plate (but not tight).
4. Make sure a piece of material to be run is placed under the
hold-down springs (and centered), with the front edge of the
material in-line with the front hopper plate.
5. Carefully slide the feeder toward the gripper arm (Figure
2-14B) until the trailing edge of material fits between the
feeder exit rollers (.25 in. - .5 in., or 6.4 mm - 12.7 mm of
material).

If there are brackets or hangers in the way, you
may have to adjust the feeder side-to-side by
selecting any of the three hole positions in the
bottom mounting plate. See figure below.

STEP 8:
Securing Feeder to
Inserter
When you are satisfied with the alignment, secure the feeder by tight -
ening the two T-handle screws from underside of inserter rear deck
plate (Figure 2-15).
If you need to move the feeder side-to-side to fine-
tune the alignment with the insert station, use any
of the three hole positions in the bottom mounting
plate. See figure below.
