SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY
Most of your G1128/G1129 Power Feeder has
been assembled at the factory, but some parts
must be assembled or installed after delivery. We
have 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.

(Step 1 for G1129 only) Insert the
horizontal
shaft
through the
shaft coupler.
The gear
rack on the
horizontal shaft
should engage.
2.
Turn the
distance adjustment wheel
so that
the
shaft coupler
is approximately centered
on the
horizontal shaft
. Turn the
height
adjustment wheel
so that the
shaft coupler
is approximately centered on the
vertical
shaft
.
3.
Attach the
pivot joint assembly
to the end
of the
horizontal shaft
. Secure with the
locking handle
.
4.
Remove the
base
by loosening the
lock
handle.
Set the
shaft assembly
to the side.
5.
Find the best mounting location on your
woodworking machine. Guidelines:
a
. The power feeder should not affect any
moving machine parts.
b.
It should be as close to the work area as
possible, i.e., keep the distance between the
base and rollers to a minimum.
c.
Test the location by temporarily mounting
the base on a stable piece of hardwood
which is clamped to the machine. Swing the
power feeder in a variety of positions to
ensure that the base is best suited to your
anticipated needs.
