Description  
The PF3-JR Stock Feeder can be mounted to a table saw, shaper, jointer, etc., and will act as a “third  
hand” for the operator to smoothly feed workpieces through the auxiliary machine. The Stock Feeder has  
a continuous-duty motor and lubricated gearbox that transmit power through roller chain and sprockets to  
the feed rollers, providing superior positive feeding for all types of materials. The stand is fully adjustable  
with universal joints, and heavy locking mechanisms secure the feeder in horizontal, vertical or angled  
positions. The roller system is “maintenance-friendly” allowing you to replace a single roller if necessary,  
instead of a complete set.

Assembly and Installation  
Tools needed for assembly:  
5mm hex wrench  
12mm and 14mm open end wrenches  
Remove the clear plastic from around the feeder  
and stand.  
Exposed metal surfaces have been given a  
protective coating at the factory. This should be  
removed with a soft cloth moistened with a good  
commercial solvent, such as kerosene or  
mineral spirits. Do not use acetone, gasoline, or  
lacquer thinner for this purpose. Do not get  
solvents near plastic or rubber parts, and do not  
use an abrasive pad because it may scratch  
metal surfaces.  
The Stock Feeder should be mounted to an  
auxiliary machine in a well-lit area. Leave  
enough space around the work area for loading  
and off-loading stock and general maintenance.  
The stock feeder and the  
auxiliary machine to which you are mounting  
it should both be disconnected from power  
during installation.  
1. Determine the mounting location for the  
stand. Keep in mind the overall length of the  
horizontal arm on the stand (27-1/2”) so that  
there will be enough adjustment when the  
Stock Feeder is mounted.  
IMPORTANT: Locate the stand so that you  
will not drill through any ribs or supports  
beneath the table surface.  
2. Use the provided boring template to find the  
centerline spacing for the holes in the  
feeder’s base. Clean the mounting surface,  
then remove the backing from the boring  
template and stick the template carefully  
into place on the mounting surface.  
NOTE: The same template can be found on  
page 25.  
3. Center punch and drill four 8.5 millimeter  
diameter holes in the surface, then tap the  
holes with M10 x P1.5 threads. Alternatively,  
if you plan to secure the stand with hex nuts  
from below the mounting surface, drill  
clearance holes of 7/16” diameter without  
tapping.  
4. Peel off the boring template and discard.  
5. Loosen the lock handle and remove the  
base from the stand assembly, shown in  
Figure 1.  
Figure 1

6. Place the base over the hole pattern. Align  
the four holes of the base with the holes in  
the mounting surface. Make sure the lock  
handle is positioned in a convenient place  
before tightening the base to the mounting  
surface.  
7. Insert four M10 screws (not provided)  
through the holes of the base and into the  
holes on the mounting surface. See Figure  
2. Tighten screws securely.  
8. The stand assembly can be oriented with  
either of the columns in horizontal or vertical  
position. It is recommended, however, that  
the longer lead screw be placed in the  
horizontal position, as shown in Figure 3;  
this will allow maximum adjustment for the  
stock feeder across the surface of the  
workpiece. Slide the vertical column down  
into the base and tighten the lock handle  
(Figure 3).  
Figure 2  
9. Attach a handle (Figure 4) to each elevating  
handle, by screwing the threads of the  
handle into the hole on the elevating handle.  
10. The handle (Figure 4) should be adjusted so  
that it can move freely. Loosen the hex nut  
with a 14mm (9/16”) wrench, and turn the  
socket head cap screw with a 5mm hex  
wrench until the handle is just loose enough  
to turn freely. Then tighten the hex nut  
against the elevating handle.  
Figure 3  
11. Rest the Stock Feeder on the mounting  
surface, as shown in Figure 5. Lower the  
horizontal arm by rotating the top hand  
wheel until the arm is at a convenient height  
for mounting the Stock Feeder. (See “Basic  
Feeder/Stand Movements” for detailed  
explanation of stand movements.)  
12. Make sure the hex cap screw (A, Figure 5)  
is loosened on the sleeve of the Stock  
Feeder. Use a 14mm wrench.  
13. Slide the arm cone of the Stock Feeder onto  
the horizontal arm as far as it will go, then  
tighten the hex cap screw (A, Figure 5).

Grounding Instructions  
Electrical connections must  
qualified electrician in  
be made by  
a
compliance with all relevant codes. This  
machine must be properly grounded to help  
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal  
injury.  
This Stock Feeder must be grounded. In the  
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding  
provides a path of least resistance for electric  
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This  
tool is equipped with an electric cord having an  
equipment-grounding  
conductor  
and  
a
grounding plug similar to the one shown in  
Figure 6. The plug must be plugged into a  
matching outlet that is properly installed and  
grounded in accordance with all local codes and  
ordinances.  
Figure 6  
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit  
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a  
qualified electrician.  
Improper connection of the equipment-  
grounding conductor can result in a risk of  
electric shock. The conductor, with insulation  
having an outer surface that is green with or  
without yellow stripes, is the equipment-  
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of  
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not  
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a  
live terminal.  
Check with a qualified electrician or service  
personnel if the grounding instructions are not  
completely understood, or if in doubt as to  
whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only  
three wire extension cords that have three-prong  
grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that  
accept the tool’s plug.  
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord  
immediately.  
115 Volt Operation  
As received from the factory, your Stock Feeder  
is ready to run at 115 volt operation. It is  
intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet  
and a plug that looks similar to the one  
illustrated in Figure 6.  
A temporary adapter, which looks like the  
adapter as illustrated in Figure 7, may be used  
to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as  
shown in Figure 7, if a properly grounded outlet  
is not available. The temporary adapter should  
only be used until a properly grounded outlet  
can be installed by a qualified electrician. This  
adapter is not applicable in Canada.

Adjustments  
Basic Feeder/Stand Movements  
To move the vertical column up or down, loosen  
the lock handle (A, Figure 9) and rotate the  
handle (B, Figure 9). When adjustment is  
complete, re-tighten lock handle (A, Figure 9).  
To move the horizontal arm forward or back,  
loosen the lock handle (C, Figure 9) and rotate  
the handle (D, Figure 9). When adjustment is  
complete, re-tighten lock handle (C, Figure 9).  
The vertical column and horizontal arm have  
stop screws (E, Figure 9) which prevent them  
from being moved too far.  
Figure 9  
To rotate the entire stand assembly, loosen the  
lock handle (F, Figure 9) and push the assembly  
into desired position. Tighten lock handle before  
operating the stock feeder.  
To rotate the stock feeder alone, loosen lock  
handle (G, Figure 9). Tighten lock handle before  
operating the stock feeder.  
Edgewise Stock Feeder Position  
The stock feeder can be turned “edgewise” so  
that the feed is along the side of the workpiece.  
See Figure 10.  
To create this position:  
1. Loosen the screw on the arm cone (A,  
Figure 10) with a 14mm wrench, and slide  
the Stock Feeder off the horizontal arm.  
2. Place the Stock Feeder edgewise with the  
rollers toward the bottom, as shown in  
Figure 10.  
Figure 10

3. Loosen lock handle (B, Figure 10) and  
rotate the swivel cone (C, Figure 10) 180-  
degrees, as shown in Figure 10.  
4. Re-tighten lock handle (B, Figure 10).  
5. Loosen lock handle (D, Figure 10) and  
rotate the arm cone as needed until it can  
slide back onto the horizontal arm. Tighten  
locking handle (D, Figure 10).  
6. Mount the Stock Feeder to the horizontal  
arm and tighten the screw (A, Figure 10).  
Speed Selection  
The PF3-JR has four speeds: 13, 26, 33 and 62  
feet per minute (or 4, 8, 10 and 19 meters per  
minute, respectively). Achieving these four  
speeds is dependent upon the choice and  
proper position of the gears.  
Figure 11  
Unplug the stock feeder from  
power source before changing gears.  
To change the position of the gears:  
1. Unscrew the knob (Figure 11) and pull off  
the back cover to expose the gear system,  
shown in Figure 12.  
2. Remove hex nuts and flat washers (A,  
Figure 12) with a 14mm wrench.  
3. Figure 13 shows the relationship of gear  
position to create each of the four speeds. A  
similiar chart is affixed to the inside of the  
back cover on the Stock Feeder.  
4. Install new gear configuration, making sure  
the notch in each gear slides into the  
keyway of the shaft. Push the gear as far as  
it will go onto the shaft.  
Figure 12  
5. Install hex nut and flat washer (A, Figure 12)  
on each shaft, and tighten.  
6. Re-install back cover and tighten knob  
(Figure 11).

Operating Controls  
The control switch (Figure 14) turns the motor  
on, and also determines its direction – forward  
or reverse.  
If a jam should occur while  
feeding a workpiece, DO NOT turn the stock  
feeder to reverse while the auxiliary machine  
is still running in forward direction.  
If a workpiece becomes jammed, turn off both  
the auxiliary machine and the stock feeder.  
Raise the feeder in order to clear the workpiece.  
Then reset the feeder height and begin the feed  
over again.  
Figure 14  
Operation  
IMPORTANT: Before attempting operation of  
this stock feeder in conjunction with an auxiliary  
machine, you should be thoroughly familiar with  
the operating and safety instructions that were  
included with the auxiliary machine.  
Keep hands away from  
rollers during operation. Failure to comply  
may cause injury.  
General Operating Instructions  
1. Make sure all lock handles are tight before  
operating the Stock Feeder.  
2. The Stock Feeder should be used in  
conjunction with a fence on your auxiliary  
machine.  
3. The rollers must grip the offcut, as well as  
the part of the workpiece still being fed.  
4. On some machines, such as a shaper, the  
stock feeder can be mounted so that the  
rollers exert pressure from the top; or  
mounted edgewise so that the rollers exert  
pressure from the side, or mounted at an  
intermediate angle for beveled workpieces.  
5. The feed rollers have a spring suspension  
with approximately 12mm lift, which will  
exert the necessary pressure against the  
workpiece.  
This  
pressure  
increases  
automatically with feed resistance, so that a  
workpiece of varying thickness can be fed  
through  
the  
stock  
feeder  
without  
adjustments.  
14  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
6. When used in normal horizontal position,  
the stock feeder should be adjusted for  
height so that the distance between the  
table and the feed rollers is approximately  
1/8” to 3/16” (3 to 5mm) less than the  
thickness of the workpiece. See Figure 15.  
Although the stock feeder  
when properly used will greatly reduce the  
chance of workpiece kickback, there is still a  
potential for kickback. Never stand directly  
in the path of the workpiece as it passes  
under the Stock Feeder rollers.  
Figure 15  
When Used with a Shaper  
1. The gap between the fences for the cutter  
should be as small as possible.  
2. To ensure that the workpiece is held firmly  
against the fence, set the stock feeder at a  
slight angle toward the fence in the direction  
of feed. In other words, the outfeed roller  
should be approximately 3/16” (5mm) closer  
to the fence than the infeed roller. See  
Figure 16.  
3. When the Stock Feeder is in edgewise  
position, it must be inclined slightly towards  
the work table in the direction of feed, to  
ensure the workpiece remains forced down  
against the table. In other words, the  
outfeed roller should be approximately 3/16”  
closer to the work table than the infeed  
roller. See Figure 17.  
Figure 16  
(Stock Feeder in horizontal position)  
4. When the Stock Feeder is in the edgewise  
position, or angled for a beveled workpiece,  
the axis of the cutter should be between the  
outfeed roller and the center roller. See  
Figure 17. The center roller should NOT be  
directed toward the opening between the  
fences, but should act directly against the  
fence.  
5. When mounting the Stock Feeder in  
edgewise position, keep in mind the spring  
tension of the rollers. The distance between  
the shaper fence and the feed rollers should  
be approximately 1/8” to 3/16” (3 to 5mm)  
less than the thickness of the workpiece  
(refer to Figure 15).  
Figure 17  
(Stock Feeder in edgewise position)  
6. Shaping hardwood with the Stock Feeder  
may increase the friction between workpiece  
and table. Keep the work table rust-free and  
smooth, by using paste wax or other  
necessary means.  
15  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
When Used with a Table Saw  
1. Position the Stock Feeder so that the axis of  
the saw blade lines up between the center  
roller and infeed roller. See Figure 18. This  
will allow the Stock Feeder to grip the offcut  
of the workpiece as it leaves the blade.  
2. Rotate the Stock Feeder so that the  
direction of feed is angled slightly toward the  
fence by approximately 3/16” (5mm); that is,  
the outfeed roller should be slightly closer to  
the fence than the infeed roller. See Figure  
18.  
Figure 18  
When Used with a Jointer  
1. Mount the stock feeder on a jointer so that  
all rollers are over the outfeed table, as  
shown in Figure 19.  
2. The infeed roller should be approximately  
3/16” away from the lip of the outfeed table  
at the cutter area. See Figure 19.  
3. Rotate the Stock Feeder so that the  
direction of feed is angled slightly toward the  
fence by approximately 3/16” (5mm); that is,  
the outfeed roller should be slightly closer to  
the fence than the infeed roller. See Figure  
19.  
Figure 19  
Roller Removal/Replacement  
If more space is needed between rollers, for  
example when feeding a curved workpiece, the  
center roller can be removed from the Stock  
Feeder. To remove the roller, loosen and  
remove the two socket head cap screws (Figure  
20) with a 5mm hex wrench and pull the roller  
off the shaft.  
Figure 20  
Maintenance  
Before performing any  
maintenance  
on  
the  
Stock  
Feeder,  
disconnect its plug from the electrical  
supply. Also disconnect the auxiliary  
machine from the electrical supply. Failure to  
comply may cause serious injury.  
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in  
any way, have it replaced immediately.  
The rubber rollers should be kept clean of  
grease, sawdust and other debris. Use a soft

The mating parts of the arm cone and swivel  
cone should be kept clean. See Figure 21.  
When disassembling any of the cones from the  
stock feeder, wipe off both mating parts with a  
clean rag before re-assembling. NOTE: These  
cones are subject to high torques and it may be  
necessary to periodically re-tighten the lock  
handles until the cone surfaces become  
securely seated.  
Figure 21  
Lubrication  
Gearbox  
The Stock Feeder is shipped with oil installed in  
the gearbox. Occasionally check the oil level  
and add oil if necessary. The oil level should be  
approximately 1-1/2” deep; that is, about 1” from  
the rim of the hole. Completely drain and refill  
the oil every 1,000 working hours, or every 6  
months, with a good quality gear oil.  
To change the oil:  
1. Loosen the screw (A, Figure 5) which holds  
the feeder body to the horizontal arm.  
Figure 22  
2. Carefully remove the feeder body from the  
horizontal arm.  
3. Unscrew and remove the oil cap (identified  
in Figure 22) and turn the feeder body  
upside down to completely drain the oil.  
(NOTE: Always dispose of used oil  
properly.)  
4. Turn feeder body right side up, and pour  
new oil into the fill hole, until it is about 1”  
from the rim.  
5. Re-install the oil cap (Figure 22).  
Rollers  
Each of the three rollers has a grease fitting  
(Figure 23) located in the hub center. Use a  
grease gun to insert a good quality, all-purpose  
grease into these fittings every 200 working  
hours, or every 30 days.

Chains  
Lubricate the drive chains (Figure 24) with good  
quality all-purpose grease every 3 months, or  
more frequently if needed.  
Figure 24  
Lead Screws  
Occasionally apply a light coat of grease to the  
lead screw of the vertical column, and to the  
lead screw of the horizontal arm. See Figure 25.
