Extension Cords
If an extension cord is necessary, make sure the
cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on
the machine's motor plate. An undersize cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating.
The chart in Figure 10 shows the correct size
cord to use based on cord length and motor
plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number
the heavier the cord.
Adjustments
Basic Feeder Movements
Refer to Figure11.
To raise or lower the over arm, loosen handle
(A) and rotate elevating handle (B). When
adjustment is complete, re-tighten handle (A).
To move the over arm forward or back, loosen
handle (C) and rotate handwheel (D). When
adjustment is complete, re-tighten handle (C).
To swing the over arm across the table, loosen
handle (E) and swing the over arm to desired
position. Re-tighten handle (E) before operating
the stock feeder.
To rotate the cones to help position the feeder,
loosen handles (F). Tighten handles when
adjustment is complete.
To rotate the stock feeder on its vertical axis,
loosen handle (G) just enough that the stock
feeder will freely rotate. Re-tighten handle (G)
before operating the stock feeder.
Edgewise Stock Feeder Position
The stock feeder can be turned “edgewise” so
that the feed is along the side of the workpiece.
This is useful when edging stock on a shaper or
jointer. The position is achieved using a
combination of cone rotations, as shown in
Figure 12.
Speed Selection
The stock feeder has four speeds, or feed rates:
13, 26, 33 and 66 FPM for the 3-Phase models;
and 13, 36, 43 and 108 FPM for the 1-Phase
models. These speeds are achieved by a
combination of gear position and the setting of
the control switch.
