Simple Adjustment of the Main Body and Control Box Position for Different Cutting Needs
Regardless of the equipment you use, it's essential to set up an outfeed support table. The tabletop must be the same height as the cutting equipment's top.
Under Normal Circumstances:
Recommended control box position: As shown in the diagram,8 inches to the saw blade, Pass through maximum size on the left side of the saw blade up to 8 inches.
Recommended main body position: Fine-tune the main body position left or right. Using forward safe block red indicator to align the saw blade for optimal wood board control.
1. For Cutting Narrow Boards (Less Than 15 Millimeters), Tiny Strips, or Thin Pieces:
Keep the control box fixed and move the main body to the left to reduce the gap between the drive wheels and the fence. Note: When the gap reaches a minimum (less than 5 millimetres), remove the magnetic dust collection panel on the right to prevent cutting damage. The dust collection device can still be used.
2. For the left side of the blade, through Wide Boards
Keep the main body stationary and shift the control box to the left to increase the space between the control box and the saw blade. Note: The maximum allowable distance between the control box's right side and the saw blade is 14 inches, meaning the maximum board size that can pass between the saw blade and the control box is 14 inches.
3. If necessary, allow the wheels to run entirely on the left side of the saw blade, similar to the conventional feeder's driving method. Note: The dust collection function cannot be used.
4. For Tilted Blade Cutting
No adjustments are required. Before cutting, ensure no risk of damaging the main body's bottom plate.
How to Use on a Table Saw
Prerequisites: Plug in the power adapter, connect the control box and motor, turn on the electromagnetic switch, check that the control box is securely attached, and ensure that the automatic locking knob and the large locking knob are in the release state.
Note that for the initial use, you may need to use an Allen wrench, pull the large black knob handle outward and use a wrench to assist in turning the bolt to position it correctly for locking and releasing!
The operation is as simple: when the main unit is not in use, it hovers in the air. Select the desired feeding force setting, as shown in the video below. Place the material beneath the front wheels, lightly press down on the main unit to make the feeding wheels contact the material, maintain that contact, then use your other hand to turn the large knob to lock it in place. Rotate the automatic lock, pull out the material, and lightly press down on the main unit again. It will descend slightly, and the automatic lock will engage. Unlike a typical feeder, you don't need to adjust the feeding wheel's descent distance manually!
Turn on the laser. Raise the saw blade according to the laser guidelines. Turn off the laser. Using magnetic attachment for quick installation of the dust collection side panel.
Insert the dust collector hose and start the vacuum cleaner. Press the control box motor switch and turn on the motor and the table saw.
Following standard manual operating rules, push the wood board into both wheels, then let it go; it will automatically feed the wood board and complete the cut.
When finished, turn off the table saw, turn off the motor, and release both knobs!
To cut another thickness of wood board, repeat the above steps!
Principles for Table Saw Use:
1. Drive Force Selection
The driving force gradually increases from level I to level IV. As shown in the picture below, turn the knob to position the red indicator head at one of the four locations. If turning is difficult, gently lift it to facilitate the rotation. Typically, it's recommended to use driving force settings II and III. Increase drive force for thick, hard, heavy, or large wooden boards. Decrease it for thin, soft, light, or small panels. Note: Do not adjust drive force during operation; set it beforehand.
2. Speed Adjustment
For table saws with a power rating above 3 HP and regular cuts, use a speed of around 80% or faster. When cutting thick and hardwood, ensure your table saw can handle high-speed feeding. Reduce the rate if needed to protect your table saw. Avoid overloading it. If the saw lacks power or the blade is dull, cutting too fast can overheat the blade and darken the cut surface. Monitor your table saw's performance and adjust speed as needed during cutting.
3. Emergency Shutdown
Turn off the motor, switch off the table saw, lower the saw blade, and unlock both locking knobs. Pull the wooden board back.
4. Necessary Assistance
If you encounter difficulty advancing the wood board, reduce the drive speed to around 40%! Use a table saw push stick to assist in pushing the wood. After completing the current cut, observe and analyze the reasons. For example, if the rear outfeed tabletop is lower or higher than the table saw top. Could it be due to the board having warping or significant thickness differences? Please refer to the user manual for specific details. Solve these issues to prevent recurrence!
How to Use on a Router Table?
1. Basic Prerequisites
Proficiently master the manual operation of the router table, understand your router's cutting power and capabilities, and be familiar with the feed speeds of various router bits. Always follow router principles: multiple passes and repeat routing.
2. Installation Location
Recommended Placement:
Benefits: The router table requires frequent adjustments and changes of router bits, so leave room for adjustments to avoid moving the system frequently.
3. Installation Method
Remove the extension shaft! Directly fix the control box with the two stainless clamps.
4. Drive Force Selection
Using the drive force settings II is recommended. You can also make adjustments based on the size and weight of the material.
5. Speed Selection
Adjust the feed rate based on your experience with manual feeding. It can be slightly faster than manual feeding, but avoid going too fast and prevent damage to the router bit.
6. Usage Method
6.1 Vertical wheel operation mode: Use the same method as on the table saw.
6.2 Horizontal wheel operation mode:
Steps as below:
1. Remove the main unit.
2. Position the main unit.
3. Remove the two pins.
4. Position the main unit crossbar as shown in the diagram, reinserting the two pins (in the inner two holes).
5. Secure the main unit again and release the two auxiliary support ball heads (remember to use the knobs to lock them).
6. Move the system to ensure both wheels touch the router table's fence.
7. Change the black and blue wires of two motors (Note: You only need to change the wiring on one end, either the motors or the control box, not both).
8. Pull the main unit's bottom plate before cutting, create space between the wheels and the fence, place the wood board, and then release the main unit. Securing the wooden board using two tension springs
9. Lock both knobs.
10. Remove the wood board; it will automatically lock in place due to the action of the two springs.
