Additional Safety for Power Feeders
USE this and other machinery with caution
and respect. Always consider safety first,
as it applies to your individual working
conditions. No list of safety guidelines can
be complete—every shop environment is
different. Failure to follow guidelines could
result in serious personal injury, damage
to equipment or poor work results.
READ and understand this
entire instruction manual
before using this machine.
Serious personal injury
may occur if safety and
operational information is
not understood and fol-
lowed. DO NOT risk your
safety by not reading!
1. SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Always use appropriate machine guards.
2. TOOL SPEED. Make sure all cutting tools are rotating at the operating speed before feeding the
workpiece.
3. FEEDING SPEED. DO NOT overload the cutting tool by feeding too quickly. The cutting tool will
perform better and be safer working at the rate for which it was designed.
4. HAND SAFETY. Keep hands away from rotating parts on the feeder and the cutting tool. Do not
allow hands or clothing to be pinched between the rollers and workpiece.
5. WORKPIECE SUPPORT. DO NOT feed long workpieces without providing adequate support at the
outfeed end of the table.
6. STOPPING FEEDER. Always stop the feeder before stopping the cutting tool.
7. ADJUSTMENTS. Disconnect the feeder from its power source before cleaning, repairing, or making
adjustments.
8. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the
intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact Tech Support at (360) 734-3482.
9. MACHINE MANUAL. This manual only covers the power feeder. It is not a replacement for the
manual that came with the machine on which the power feeder is mounted. Make sure to read that
manual also for correct operation instructions and safety precautions.
