Check the actuation of the feeder encoder wheels

WHAT YOU NEED 

Tools:Security Torx Key SetPen

Safety Equipment:Standard Personal Protective Equipment

Note: when a follower is fitted, a pop-up encoder is present on the outfeed feeder only.

  1. Isolate the saw electrically.
  2. Remove both feeder transparent covers.
  3. Remove the side feeder guards on both sides of each feeder.

  4. From the rear of each feeder, use a pen to operate the manual override button for the encoder air supply valve (marked "ENC") on the valve bank multiple times and observe the actuation of the encoder wheel.

    Note: this should actuate with roughly a 1-second rise and fall time.

  5. If too fast or too slow, adjust the restrictors until the desired actuation speed is observed.
  6. Refit the side feeder guards.
  7. Refit both feeder transparent covers.
  8. Turn on the electrical isolation switch on the front of the saw.
