Changing Feed Rate
1. Loosen the two hex nuts (one is shown in
Figure 13) that hold the motor to the motor
mount. Use a 12mm wrench. Do not remove
the hex nuts, loosen them only enough so
that the motor can be pivoted.
2. Pivot the motor counterclockwise, as shown
in Figure 13. This will produce slack in the
belt.
3. Open the pulley cover door (Figure 14) by
unscrewing the knob.
4. Roll the belt into the appropriate pulley
groove for the desired feed rate. A label is
affixed to the inside of the door (Figure 14)
that shows the configurations for belt
position/feed rate in both feet per minute
and meters per minute. This feed rate chart
is also reproduced on page 16.
5. When the belt has been changed, close the
pulley door and tighten the knob.
6. Rotate the motor clockwise to tension the
belt. Proper tension is achieved when the
belt can be deflected approximately 3 to
5mm with slight finger pressure.
7. Tighten the two hex nuts (Figure 13).
Operating Controls
The control switch (Figure 15) turns on the
Stock Feeder motor, and also helps determine
feed rate in conjunction with the pulley position.
“Fast” and “Slow” are identified by the universal
symbols of hare and tortoise.
Operation
IMPORTANT: Before attempting operation of
this stock feeder in conjunction with a band saw,
you should be thoroughly familiar with the
operating and safety instructions that were
included with the band saw.
Keep hands away from
rollers, spring, and other pinch points of the
Stock Feeder during operation. Failure to
comply may cause injury.
The following are basic steps for operating the
Stock Feeder.
1. Make sure the band saw is working properly
and that the blade is sharp; and that all
guards are properly installed.
