SECTION 1: SAFETY

a) Always wear eye protection.

b) Always keep guards in place and in properoperating condition.

c) The power feeder must be fixed rigid to theyour power tool.

d) Support the workpiece adequately at alltimes during operation; maintain control ofthe work at all times.

e) Do not attempt to perform an abnormal orlittle-used operation without study and theuse of adequate hold-downs, jigs, fixtures,stops, and the like.

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Makesure your extension cord is in good condition.When using an extension cord, be sure it israted Hard Service (grade S) or better.Conductor size must be 14 A.W.G. for cordsup to 50 feet in length. An undersized cordwill cause a drop in line voltage resulting inloss of power and overheating. Your exten-sion cord must also contain a ground wireand plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-sion cords if they become damaged.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wearloose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,bracelets, or other jewelry which may getcaught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear isrecommended. Wear protective hair coveringto contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Alsouse face or dust mask if cutting operation isdusty. Everyday eyeglasses only haveimpact resistant lenses, they are NOT safetyglasses.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise tohold work when practical. It’s safer thanusing your hand and frees both hands tooperate tool.

1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in workingorder.

2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS ANDWRENCHES. Form habit of checking to seethat keys and adjusting wrenches areremoved from tool before turning on.

3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Clutteredareas and benches invite accidents.

4. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRON-MENT. Don’t use power tools in damp orwet locations, or expose them to rain. Keepwork area well lighted.

5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitorsshould be kept a safe distance from workarea.

6. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with pad-locks, master switches, or by removingstarter keys.

7. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job bet-ter and safer at the rate for which it wasdesigned.

8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool orattachment to do a job for which it was notdesigned.


Additional Safety Instructions For Power Feeders

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before furtheruse of the tool, a guard or other part that isdamaged should be carefully checked todetermine that it will operate properly andperform its intended function - check align-ment of moving parts, binding of movingparts, breakage of parts and any other condi-tions that may affect its operation. A guard orother part that is damaged should be proper-ly repaired or replaced.

19. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into ablade or cutter against the direction of rota-tion of the blade or cutter only.

20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leavetool until it comes to a complete stop.

5. Replace wheels when they become worn ordisfigured.

6. Do not stand directly in front of or in back ofthe workpiece as it is feeding through yourpower tool. Stand to one side.

7. Extension cords , if used, must be rated HardService (grade S) or better. Conductor sizemust be 14 A.W.G. for cords up to 50 feet inlength. Your extension cord must also con-tain a ground wire and plug pin. Alwaysrepair or replace extension cords if theybecome damaged.

8. Habits – good and bad – are hard to break.Develop good habits in your shop and safe-ty will become second-nature to you.

1. Inspect your stock carefully before you feedit through the machine. If you have anydoubts about the stability or structuralintegrity of your stock, DO NOT USE IT!

2. Never mill stock that has loose knots. Alldefects should be cut out of the board beforeit is processed.

3. DO NOT jam workpiece into the wheels.Firmly grasp the workpiece in both handsand ease it into the rotating wheels. Guidethe workpiece to ensure that it properly con-tacts the cutterhead or blade.

4. DO NOT place hands near, or in contact withmoving wheels. DO NOT place hands nearany spinning blades or cutterheads.

13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footingand balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep toolssharp and clean for best and safest perfor-mance. Follow instructions for lubricating andchanging accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing andchanging accessories, such as blades, bits,cutters, and the like.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONALSTARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-tion before plugging in.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.Consult the owner’s manual for recommend-ed accessories. The use of improper acces-sories may cause risk of injury to persons.


Figure 1. Recommended receptacle.

220V Operation

The G1128 and G1129 is supplied with a 220Vonly motor. The 1⁄2 HP motor on the G1128 willdraw roughly 4 amps. The 1 HP motor on theG1129 will draw about 3.5 amps. These loads arenot excessive, but if you operate your machine onany circuit that is already close to capacity, itmight blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. If anunusual load does not exist and power failure stilloccurs, consult a qualified electrician. Otherwise,consider a dedicated circuit for your machine. A15 amp circuit breaker or fuse should be used fora 220V undedicated circuit. The general rule is touse the lightest breaker or fuse that will holdunder regular loads. Circuit breakers or fuses thatare rated higher may not adequately protect themotor.

You must provide your own plug with both powerfeeders. Figure 1. Ensure that the plug typematches the outlet you intend to use. Connect theplug to the power cord per the plug instructions.Ensure that the ground wire is connected to theplug.

Grounding

CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDEDWHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATORFROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding pro-vides a path of least resistance for electric currentto reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool isequipped with an electric cord having an equip-ment-grounding conductor. The plug must beplugged into a matching outlet that is properlyinstalled and grounded in accordance with alllocal codes and ordinances.

Improper connections of the electrical-groundingconductor can result in risk of electric shock. Theconductor with green or green and yellow stripedinsulation is the electrical-grounding conductor. Ifrepair or replacement of the electric cord or plugis necessary, do not connect the equipmentgrounding conductor to a live terminal.

Under no circumstances should the groundingpin from any plug be removed. If it will not fit theoutlet, have the proper outlet installed by a quali-fied electrician.

Check with a qualified electrician or one of ourservice personnel if the grounding instructionsare not completely understood, or if in doubt as towhether the tool is properly grounded.

Be sure that your particular electrical configura-tion complies with local and state codes. The bestway to ensure compliance is to check with yourlocal municipality or licensed electrician.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immedi-ately.

To operate this or any power tool safely and effi-ciently, it is essential to become as familiar with itas possible. The time you invest before you beginto use your Model G1128/G1129 will be time wellspent. DO NOT operate this machine until youare completely familiar with the contents of thismanual.


Unpacking

The G1128 Power Feeder is shipped from thefactory in a carefully packed carton. The G1129 isshipped in two cartons. If you find the machine tobe damaged after you’ve signed for delivery andthe truck and driver are already gone, you willneed to file a freight claim with the carrier. Savethe containers and all packing materials forinspection by the carrier or their agent. Withoutthe packing materials, filing a freight claim can bedifficult. If you need advice regarding this situa-tion, please call us.

Caution: The G1128 and G1129 are relativelyheavy machines (105 lbs. and 152 lbs. respectiveshipping weights). DO NOT over-exert yourselfwhile unpacking or moving your machine – getassistance.

When you are completely satisfied with the con-dition of your shipment, you should inventory itsparts.

Piece Inventory

After all the parts have been removed from thecarton, you should have:

G1128:

• Power Feeder Motor/Wheels• Pivot Joint Assembly• Horizontal/Vertical Column Assembly

w/Base• Gears (2)• Wheel Handles (2)

G1129:

• Power Feeder Motor/Wheels• Pivot Joint Assembly• Vertical Column Assembly w/Base• Horizontal Column• Wheel Handles (2)• Grease Gun

In the event that any non-proprietary parts aremissing (e.g. a nut or a washer...), we would beglad to replace them, or, for the sake of expedi-ency, replacements can be obtained at your localhardware store.


Clean up

The columns and other unpainted parts of theModel G1128/G1129 are coated with a waxy oilthat protects them from corrosion during ship-ment. Remove the protective coating with miner-al spirits and paper towels. Do not use gasoline orother petroleum based solvents because of theirextremely low flash points. Do not use chlorine-based solvents – if you happen to splash someonto a painted surface, you’ll ruin the finish.

WARNING!

Follow the safety rules listed below whenworking with solvents:

1. Read and follow all directions and warningson the solvent label.

2. Work only in a well ventilated area.

3. Do not work near any type of open flame(e.g., pilot lights, kerosene heaters, and soon).

4. DO NOT smoke while working with flamma-ble material.

5. Paper towels from the cleaning process areextremely combustible. Dispose of wastetowels so they do not create a fire hazard.

Site Considerations

1. Working Clearances: Consider existing andanticipated needs, size of material to beprocessed through each machine, andspace for auxiliary stands, work tables orother machinery when establishing a loca-tion for your power feeder.

2. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should bebright enough to eliminate shadow and pre-vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should bededicated or large enough to handle amper-age requirements. Outlets should be locatednear each machine so power or extensioncords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observelocal electrical codes for proper installationof new lighting, outlets, or circuits.


WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATETHE POWER FEEDER UNTIL IT IS PERMA-NENTLY MOUNTED TO THE TABLE TOP!MOUNTING THE POWER FEEDER TO YOURMACHINE WILL MAKE IT TOP HEAVY.SECURELY ATTACH YOUR MACHINE TO THEFLOOR OF YOUR SHOP.

6. Use the base as your template and mark theoutside perimeter of the base and the loca-tions of the four bolt holes on your table.

7. Measure the distances of the four mountingholes from the edges of the table with anaccurate ruler. Compare those measure-ments with the bottom of the table. Ensurethat the mounting holes will not be over thecast braces on the underside of the table.

8. Drill 3⁄8" diameter holes through your table.Use 5⁄16" through bolts of sufficient length withflat and lock washers to attach the base.They will provide added support.

9. Re-insert the shaft assembly into the base.Orient the horizontal shaft properly. Tightenthe lock handle.

G1129 ONLY: Tighten the cap screw on thebase to inhibit spinning of the vertical shaft.

10. Mount the motor/wheel assembly to thepivot joint assembly.

G1128: Screw the lower lock handle into thehole on the wheel housing.

G1129: Remove the handle and screw fromthe motor clamp assembly (MCA). Placethe outer half of the MCA off to one side.Position the motor/wheel assembly so theMCA clamps around the bottom of the motor.Replace the outer half of the MCA. Tightensecurely with the handle and screw.

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLYMost of your G1128/G1129 Power Feeder hasbeen assembled at the factory, but some partsmust be assembled or installed after delivery. Wehave organized the assembly process into steps.Please follow along in the order presented here.

Note: Read Section 4 in its entirety before begin-ning assembly.

1. (Step 1 for G1129 only) Insert the horizontalshaft through the shaft coupler. The gearrack on the horizontal shaft should engage.

2. Turn the distance adjustment wheel so thatthe shaft coupler is approximately centeredon the horizontal shaft. Turn the heightadjustment wheel so that the shaft coupleris approximately centered on the verticalshaft.

3. Attach the pivot joint assembly to the endof the horizontal shaft. Secure with thelocking handle.

4. Remove the base by loosening the lockhandle. Set the shaft assembly to the side.

5. Find the best mounting location on yourwoodworking machine. Guidelines:

a. The power feeder should not affect anymoving machine parts.

b. It should be as close to the work area aspossible, i.e., keep the distance between thebase and rollers to a minimum.

c. Test the location by temporarily mountingthe base on a stable piece of hardwoodwhich is clamped to the machine. Swing thepower feeder in a variety of positions toensure that the base is best suited to youranticipated needs.

Roller Placement

SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS

Your power feeder will operate best if the rollersare properly placed and their speed is correct forthe job.

G1129: If you look at the rollers on the G1129,you will notice that the gap between the firstand second rollers is larger than thatbetween the second and third rollers. Thisarrangement allows you to place the rollersso the first wheel is slightly ahead of yourcutting tool, while the middle and thirdwheels are behind. Thus, the rollers feedyour workpiece into, through and past thecutting surface smoothly. This feature pro-vides consistent application of force withoutbinding the cutting tool.

G1128: The G1128 does not have different sizedgaps between the wheels. However, thefirst wheel must be placed slightly ahead ofthe cutter for the power feeder to workeffectively.

To position the rollers correctly on the G1128/ G1129:

1. Raise the horizontal column so the rollersare just above the table.

2. Swing the motor and roller assembly so therollers are just slightly away from the cutter,with the first roller slightly forward of the cut-ting region.

3. Skew the feed rollers so they are angled justslightly toward the fence. The first wheelshould be just about 1⁄8" - 3⁄16" closer to thefence than the third wheel. Figure 3.


Figure 6.

2. Loosen the lock handles on the pivot jointassembly.

3. Rotate head to the desired position.

4. Adjust the height and distance from thefence.

5. Re-tighten the lock handles.

As with the previous arrangement, you will wantto set the distance between the rollers and (in thiscase) the fence about 1⁄8" to 3⁄16" under the thick-ness of the material to be milled. The rollersshould also be skewed slightly toward the direc-tion of feed to hold the workpiece against thetable. Figure 6. When using the power feeder thisway, it is essential to make sure that the fence isfastened tightly in place.

The power feeder can also be set to support yourwork against a fence. Figure 5.

1. Raise the horizontal shaft so that when thepower feeder head is turned, there will be nointerference with the fence.

Figure 4.

Figure 5.

4. Set the wheel height between 1⁄16" and 1⁄8"below the height of the material you intend tomill. The wheels, when properly adjusted,will put consistent downward pressure onyour workpiece. Figure 4.


Figure 7.

Table Saw Adjustments:

Pinching, binding and blade height are issues ofconcern when using the power feeder with a tablesaw. If you are ripping boards 4" or wider, placethe power feeder between the fence and bladewith the rollers turned slightly toward the fence. Ifyou are ripping materials less than 4", set therollers as close as possible to the fence. Do notset the rollers so the waste side of your materialbinds or pinches the blade. The rollers should beangled with no more than 1⁄8" of variationbetween the leading and trailing wheels.

IMPORTANT: The blade height on your tablesaw must just slightly exceed the height of yourworkpiece. Do Not allow the blade to cut into yourrollers. Figure 7.

You may elect to remove the middle wheel togain even more clearance.

Some fences clamp at the front only. You willneed to use an auxiliary clamp for the back ofyour fence if this is the case. The power feederwill push the fence out of alignment if it is notclamped adequately.


4. Remove the hex nuts and washers whichhold the drive gears in place. Figure 9.

5. Remove the existing gears and replace withthe new gears.

6. Replace the hex nuts and attach the drivegear cover.

Figure 9.

Figure 8.

G1128 Feed Rates

The optimum feed rate for the power feeder willdepend on the thickness of the material to be cut,the hardness of the workpiece, the speed of thecutting tool and number of teeth, tool shape etc.Generally, the following rules can be followedwith a good level of success.

When selecting feed rates, remember theseimportant tips:

• The thicker the material to be cut, the slowerthe feed rate.

• The harder the material, the slower the feedrate.

• The faster the cutter speed, the faster the feedrate.

• The greater the number of teeth or cutting sur-faces, the slower the feed rate.

G1128 speeds: 12, 16.5, 20, 26 FPM

To change the speed of the G1128:

1. Remove the gearbox cover by unscrewingthe knobs on the front of the power head.

2. Determine the speed you desire, based onyour material and cutter configuration.

3. Locate the desired feed rate on the chartshown in Figure 8. The numbers on thegears refer to the number of teeth on thegear. Do not try different arrangements!


G1129 Feed Rates

The optimum feed rate for the power feeder willdepend on the thickness of the material to be cut,the hardness of the workpiece, the speed of thecutting tool and number of teeth, tool shape etc.Generally, the following rules can be followedwith a good level of success.

When selecting feed rates, remember theseimportant tips:

• The thicker the material to be cut, the slowerthe feed rate.

• The harder the material, the slower the feedrate.

• The faster the cutter speed, the faster the feedrate.

• The greater the number of teeth or cutting sur-faces, the slower the feed rate.

G1129 speeds: 13, 26, 36, 72 FPM

There are two speed ranges on the motor (lowand high) that are controlled by the switch.

To change the speed of the G1129:

1. Choose your speed range based on yourmaterial and cutter configuration. UsingFigure 10, determine whether you need toswitch the gears or just the switch setting.

Figure 10.

2. If you need to switch the gears, remove thegearbox cover by unscrewing the knurledknobs on the front of the power head.

3. Remove the hex nuts and washers whichhold the drive gears in place. Figure 11.

4. Remove the gears and alternate their posi-tions. Slide them back onto their shafts.

5. Replace the hex nuts and attach the drivegear cover.

Figure 11.


SECTION 6: OPERATIONS

Before you test your Power Feeder, give it aquick inspection.

1. Are all fasteners tight?

2. Are the mounting bolts secured to themachine table top?

3. Is the power feeder oriented properly for thetype of job you will do?

4. Are each of the lock handles tightenedsecurely?

Once assembly is complete and adjustments aredone to your satisfaction, you are ready to testthe machine.

Do Not feed stock through at this time.

Turn on the power supply at the main panel.Press the START button. Make sure that your fin-ger is poised on the STOP button, just in casethere’s a problem. The power feeder should runsmoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbingnoises. Strange or unnatural noises should beinvestigated and corrected before operating themachine further.

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to investigate oradjust the machine while it is running. Wait untilthe machine is turned off, unplugged and allworking parts have come to a rest before you doanything!

If noises occur that cannot be found by visualinspection, feel free to contact our service depart-ment for help.

Test Run


Operation

1. Choose the feed rate at which to operateyour power feeder. The speed of the wheelswill have a large impact on how well yourtable saw or shaper will perform.

2. Orient your power feeder depending on yourjob. The motor/wheel assembly can be ori-ented so that the wheels are either horizon-tal or vertical. Figure 12 and Figure 13.

3. Adjust the distance between the wheels andthe table top or fence (depending on the ori-entation of the wheels). The distance shouldbe about 1⁄16"-1⁄8" less than the thickness ofthe wood.

4. Ensure that the power feeder position issecurely locked. Also ensure that the fenceis securely locked.

5. Turn on the power feeder and the tool it ismounted to. Slowly feed your workpiece intoand under the wheels of the power feeder.

6. Retrieve the workpiece as it feeds out of themachine. Do not stand directly in front ofor in back of the workpiece as it is feed-ing through your power tool. Stand to oneside.
