When molding, the head scale setting must be set to within 3/16” of the height of the stock
entering the molder, compensating for any sub plate thickness. This setting will provide
proper roller tension. NOT setting the head at the correct height is not safe.
9.
KNIFE CLEARANCE – After the head is set, spin the knife arbor to check for clearance.
Before running any stock through the molder it should be clear of extra bolts, wrenches and
debris. The arbor spins at 6900 rpms, the only thing that should be in the path are the knives
and the stock.
10.
MOTOR TENSIONER – The machine base has a lock, called a motor tensioner. This was
designed to cut back on motor vibration. Lock the motor in place by tightening the motor
tensioner. You will need to adjust the motor tensioner each time you change your head
setting.
To reduce tension, crank the head down to within ¼” of the actual setting and lock the motor.
Reset the head to the ¼” lower running position and the tension will be reduced. You can
vary the ¼” factor to achieve the tension desired.
NOTE: Always unlock the motor before resetting the molder head height!
11.
CHIP EXTRACTOR – Attach chip extractor with axis pin, when you feel the “catch”, the
extractor is on securely.
12.
POWER – Power the molder on.
13.
FEED STOCK – Once all 12 steps have been followed run your stock. We recommend not
standing to the infeed or outfeed of the molder; stand to the side where the control is.
