Assembly

Tools required: 17 mm wrench.

1. Remove the base from the box and place it on a non-magnetic or insulating surface.
2. Secure the locking handle (A) onto the locking screw (B) using the 17mm wrench to tighten the hex nut (C).
3. Rotate the locking handle to extend the locking screw. Keep the screw extended when the base is not attached to prevent accidental magnetic connection.
4. Mount the feeder base (A) to the magnetic base using the four provided M10 screws and spring washers (B).
5. Move the base with the mounted feeder by grabbing the feeder arm and the handle on the base.

Operation

1. Disconnect the machine from the power supply before starting.
2. Remove the blade guard and lower the saw blade into the table.
3. Adjust the rip fence according to the material size.
4. Place the magnetic base to the right of the feed direction. Ensure the locking screw is extended before placement.
5. Once positioned, rotate the locking handle until the locking screw is completely retracted. Verify the base is securely attached by hand.
6. Connect the feeder to the power supply and confirm correct feeding.
7. Adjust the saw blade height; it must not exceed material thickness by more than 3 mm.

Recommendations and Limits

• Material width after cutting should not exceed 230 mm if the base is attached at the edge of the table.
• Minimum material width after cutting is 45 mm to prevent roller damage.
• Use material up to 40 mm wide to avoid excessive resistance. If resistance is too high, reduce saw blade speed or feed rate.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Disconnect the machine from the power supply before maintenance.
• Before each use, check for loose screws or damage.
• After each use, vacuum dust and scraps from the accessory and surrounding area.
• Wipe with a dry cloth; use resin remover if resin has built up.
• Regularly apply a layer of anti-corrosion oil to the mounting plate, locking screw, and magnets.
