Basic Use and Care
Power feeders reduce kickback hazards and improve
cutting results by feeding in a consistent and stable
manner. Remember, do not to stand in the path of
potential kickback. When not in use, support the power
feeder with a wooden block so the rubber wheels are
raised above the table and do not compress from the
weight of the power feeder.
The lock levers and the handcranks on this power feeder
allow you to adjust the power feeder tracking and height
to accommodate many workpiece sizes. Before loosening
any lock lever, always support the power feeder with a
block of wood, so the power feeder does not drop and
cause damage.
Adjust the power feeder so it is toed-in approximately
1° to 1.5° degrees towards the machine fence. This
adjustment will ensure that the power feeder wheels
slightly push the workpiece against the fence during
cutting operations (see Figure 8 ).
Next, adjust the power feeder so the rubber feeder
wheels are parallel with the table surface, and are

" lower than the thickness of your workpiece. This
adjustment ensures that the workpiece will not slip
or hang in the middle of a cut. Always double check
that the power feeder wheels are slightly lower than
the workpiece before you begin feeding operations.
Otherwise, the workpiece may slip and kickback.
