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.

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.
G1128/G1129 Power Feeders -11-
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.
-12- G1128/G1129 Power Feeders
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.
