WARNING: For Your Own Safety Read Instruction
Manual Before Operating Power Feeder
Safety Instructions For Power Tools
These safety rules cannot cover every situation in a workshop. Consider your conditions when setting up or operating your power feeder.
SECTION 1: SAFETY
a) Always wear eye protection.
b) Always keep guards in place and in proper
operating condition.
c) The power feeder must be fixed rigid to the
your power tool.
d) Support the workpiece adequately at all
times during operation; maintain control of the work at all times.
e) Do not attempt to perform an abnormal or
little-used operation without study and the use of adequate hold-downs, jigs, fixtures, stops, and the like.
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure it is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Conductor size must be 14 A.W.G. for cords up to 50 feet in length. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your exten­sion cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace exten­sion cords if they become damaged.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working
order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning on.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.
4. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRON­MENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or
wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors
should be kept a safe distance from work area.
6. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with pad-
locks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
7. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

Additional Safety Instructions For Power Feeders
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function - check align­ment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi­tions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be proper­ly repaired or replaced.
19. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a
blade or cutter against the direction of rota­tion of the blade or cutter only.
20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT­TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
5. Replace wheels when they become worn or
disfigured.
6. Do not stand directly in front of or in back of
the workpiece as it is feeding through your power tool. Stand to one side.
7. Extension cords , if used, must be rated Hard
Service (grade S) or better. Conductor size must be 14 A.W.G. for cords up to 50 feet in length. Your extension cord must also con­tain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
8. Habits – good and bad – are hard to break.
Develop good habits in your shop and safe­ty will become second-nature to you.
1. Inspect your stock carefully before you feed
it through the machine. If you have any doubts about the stability or structural
integrity of your stock, DO NOT USE IT!
2. Never mill stock that has loose knots. All
defects should be cut out of the board before it is processed.
3. DO NOT jam workpiece into the wheels.
Firmly grasp the workpiece in both hands and ease it into the rotating wheels. Guide the workpiece to ensure that it properly con­tacts the cutterhead or blade.
4. DO NOT place hands near, or in contact with moving wheels. DO NOT place hands near
any spinning blades or cutterheads.
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest perfor­mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and
changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-
tion before plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommend­ed accessories. The use of improper acces­sories may cause risk of injury to persons.

Figure 1. Recommended receptacle.
220V Operation
The G1128 and G1129 is supplied with a 220V only motor. The
1
2 HP motor on the G1128 will draw roughly 4 amps. The 1 HP motor on the G1129 will draw about 3.5 amps. These loads are not excessive, but if you operate your machine on any circuit that is already close to capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. If an unusual load does not exist and power failure still occurs, consult a qualified electrician. Otherwise, consider a dedicated circuit for your machine. A 15 amp circuit breaker or fuse should be used for a 220V undedicated circuit. The general rule is to use the lightest breaker or fuse that will hold under regular loads. Circuit breakers or fuses that are rated higher may not adequately protect the motor.
You must provide your own plug with both power
feeders. Figure 1. Ensure that the plug type
matches the outlet you intend to use. Connect the plug to the power cord per the plug instructions. Ensure that the ground wire is connected to the plug.
Grounding
CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED
WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
In the event of an electrical short, 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. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical-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.
Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any plug be removed. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a quali­fied electrician.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Be sure that your particular electrical configura­tion complies with local and state codes. The best way to ensure compliance is to check with your local municipality or licensed electrician.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immedi­ately.

To operate this or any power tool safely and effi­ciently, it is essential to become as familiar with it as possible. The time you invest before you begin to use your Model G1128/G1129 will be time well
spent. DO NOT operate this machine until you
are completely familiar with the contents of this manual.
-6- G1128/G1129 Power Feeders
Unpacking
The G1128 Power Feeder is shipped from the factory in a carefully packed carton. The G1129 is shipped in two cartons. If you find the machine to be damaged after you’ve signed for delivery and the truck and driver are already gone, you will need to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the containers and all packing materials for inspection by the carrier or their agent. Without the packing materials, filing a freight claim can be difficult. If you need advice regarding this situa­tion, please call us.
Caution: The G1128 and G1129 are relatively heavy machines (105 lbs. and 152 lbs. respective
shipping weights). DO NOT over-exert yourself
while unpacking or moving your machine – get assistance.
When you are completely satisfied with the con­dition of your shipment, you should inventory its parts.

In the event that any non-proprietary parts are missing (e.g. a nut or a washer...), we would be glad to replace them, or, for the sake of expedi­ency, replacements can be obtained at your local hardware store.
G1128/G1129 Power Feeders -7-
Clean up
The columns and other unpainted parts of the Model G1128/G1129 are coated with a waxy oil that protects them from corrosion during ship­ment. Remove the protective coating with miner­al spirits and paper towels. Do not use gasoline or other petroleum based solvents because of their extremely low flash points. Do not use chlorine­based solvents – if you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you’ll ruin the finish.
WARNING!
Follow the safety rules listed below when working with solvents:
1. Read and follow all directions and warnings
on the solvent label.
2. Work only in a well ventilated area.
3. Do not work near any type of open flame
(e.g., pilot lights, kerosene heaters, and so on).
4. DO NOT smoke while working with flamma-
ble material.
5. Paper towels from the cleaning process are
extremely combustible. Dispose of waste towels so they do not create a fire hazard.
Site Considerations
1. Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a loca­tion for your power feeder.
2. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre­vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle amper­age requirements. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
-8- G1128/G1129 Power Feeders
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE POWER FEEDER UNTIL IT IS PERMA­NENTLY MOUNTED TO THE TABLE TOP! MOUNTING THE POWER FEEDER TO YOUR MACHINE WILL MAKE IT TOP HEAVY. SECURELY ATTACH YOUR MACHINE TO THE FLOOR OF YOUR SHOP.
6. Use the base as your template and mark the
outside perimeter of the base and the loca-
tions of the four bolt holes on your table.
7. Measure the distances of the four mounting
holes from the edges of the table with an accurate ruler. Compare those measure­ments with the bottom of the table. Ensure that the mounting holes will not be over the cast braces on the underside of the table.
8. Drill
3
8" diameter holes through your table.
Use
5
16" through bolts of sufficient length with flat and lock washers to attach the base. They will provide added support.
9. Re-insert the shaft assembly into the base. Orient the horizontal shaft properly. Tighten the lock handle.
G1129 ONLY: Tighten the cap screw on the base to inhibit spinning of the vertical shaft.
10. Mount the motor/wheel assembly to the pivot joint assembly.
G1128: Screw the lower lock handle into the
hole on the wheel housing.
G1129: Remove the handle and screw from the motor clamp assembly (MCA). Place the outer half of the MCA off to one side. Position the motor/wheel assembly so the MCA clamps around the bottom of the motor. Replace the outer half of the MCA. Tighten
securely with the handle and screw.
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.
1. (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.

Roller Placement
SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS
Your power feeder will operate best if the rollers are properly placed and their speed is correct for the job.
G1129: If you look at the rollers on the G1129,
you will notice that the gap between the first and second rollers is larger than that between the second and third rollers. This arrangement allows you to place the rollers so the first wheel is slightly ahead of your cutting tool, while the middle and third wheels are behind. Thus, the rollers feed your workpiece into, through and past the cutting surface smoothly. This feature pro­vides consistent application of force without binding the cutting tool.
G1128: The G1128 does not have different sized
gaps between the wheels. However, the first wheel must be placed slightly ahead of the cutter for the power feeder to work effectively.
To position the rollers correctly on the G1128 / G1129:
1. Raise the horizontal column so the rollers
are just above the table.
2. Swing the motor and roller assembly so the
rollers are just slightly away from the cutter, with the first roller slightly forward of the cut­ting region.
3. Skew the feed rollers so they are angled just
slightly toward the fence. The first wheel should be just about
1
8" - 3⁄16" closer to the
fence than the third wheel. Figure 3.
G1128/G1129 Power Feeders -11-
Figure 6.
2. Loosen the lock handles on the pivot joint
assembly.
3. Rotate head to the desired position.
4. Adjust the height and distance from the
fence.
5. Re-tighten the lock handles.
As with the previous arrangement, you will want to set the distance between the rollers and (in this case) the fence about
1
8" to 3⁄16" under the thick­ness of the material to be milled. The rollers should also be skewed slightly toward the direc­tion of feed to hold the workpiece against the
table. Figure 6. When using the power feeder this
way, it is essential to make sure that the fence is fastened tightly in place.
The power feeder can also be set to support your
work against a fence. Figure 5.
1. Raise the horizontal shaft so that when the
power feeder head is turned, there will be no interference with the fence.
Figure 4.
Figure 5.
4. Set the wheel height between
1
16" and 1⁄8" below the height of the material you intend to mill. The wheels, when properly adjusted, will put consistent downward pressure on
your workpiece. Figure 4.
-12- G1128/G1129 Power Feeders
Figure 7.
Table Saw Adjustments:
Pinching, binding and blade height are issues of concern when using the power feeder with a table
saw. If you are ripping boards 4" or wider, place
the power feeder between the fence and blade with the rollers turned slightly toward the fence. If
you are ripping materials less than 4", set the
rollers as close as possible to the fence. Do not set the rollers so the waste side of your material binds or pinches the blade. The rollers should be
angled with no more than
1
8" of variation
between the leading and trailing wheels.
IMPORTANT: The blade height on your table
saw must just slightly exceed the height of your
workpiece. Do Not allow the blade to cut into your rollers. Figure 7.
You may elect to remove the middle wheel to gain even more clearance.
Some fences clamp at the front only. You will need to use an auxiliary clamp for the back of your fence if this is the case. The power feeder will push the fence out of alignment if it is not clamped adequately.
G1128/G1129 Power Feeders -13-
4. Remove the hex nuts and washers which hold the drive gears in place. Figure 9.
5. Remove the existing gears and replace with
the new gears.
6. Replace the hex nuts and attach the drive
gear cover.
Figure 9.
Figure 8.
G1128 Feed Rates
The optimum feed rate for the power feeder will depend on the thickness of the material to be cut, the hardness of the workpiece, the speed of the cutting tool and number of teeth, tool shape etc. Generally, the following rules can be followed with a good level of success.
When selecting feed rates, remember these important tips:
• The thicker the material to be cut, the slower the feed rate.
• The harder the material, the slower the feed rate.
• The faster the cutter speed, the faster the feed rate.
• The greater the number of teeth or cutting sur­faces, the slower the feed rate.
G1128 speeds: 12, 16.5, 20, 26 FPM
To change the speed of the G1128:
1. Remove the gearbox cover by unscrewing
the knobs on the front of the power head.
2. Determine the speed you desire, based on
your material and cutter configuration.
3. Locate the desired feed rate on the chart
shown in Figure 8. The numbers on the
gears refer to the number of teeth on the
gear. Do not try different arrangements!
-14- G1128/G1129 Power Feeders
G1129 Feed Rates
The optimum feed rate for the power feeder will depend on the thickness of the material to be cut, the hardness of the workpiece, the speed of the cutting tool and number of teeth, tool shape etc. Generally, the following rules can be followed with a good level of success.
When selecting feed rates, remember these important tips:
• The thicker the material to be cut, the slower the feed rate.
• The harder the material, the slower the feed rate.
• The faster the cutter speed, the faster the feed rate.
• The greater the number of teeth or cutting sur­faces, the slower the feed rate.
G1129 speeds: 13, 26, 36, 72 FPM
There are two speed ranges on the motor (low and high) that are controlled by the switch.
To change the speed of the G1129:
1. Choose your speed range based on your
material and cutter configuration. Using
Figure 10, determine whether you need to
switch the gears or just the switch setting.
Figure 10.
2. If you need to switch the gears, remove the
gearbox cover by unscrewing the knurled knobs on the front of the power head.
3. Remove the hex nuts and washers which hold the drive gears in place. Figure 11.
4. Remove the gears and alternate their posi-
tions. Slide them back onto their shafts.
5. Replace the hex nuts and attach the drive
gear cover.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
Before you test your Power Feeder, give it a quick inspection.
1. Are all fasteners tight?
2. Are the mounting bolts secured to the
machine table top?
3. Is the power feeder oriented properly for the
type of job you will do?
4. Are each of the lock handles tightened
securely?
Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test the machine.
Do Not feed stock through at this time.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the START button. Make sure that your fin­ger is poised on the STOP button, just in case there’s a problem. The power feeder should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before operating the machine further.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the machine while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all working parts have come to a rest before you do anything!
If noises occur that cannot be found by visual inspection, feel free to contact our service depart­ment for help.
Test Run
-16- G1128/G1129 Power Feeders
Operation
1. Choose the feed rate at which to operate
your power feeder. The speed of the wheels will have a large impact on how well your table saw or shaper will perform.
2. Orient your power feeder depending on your
job. The motor/wheel assembly can be ori­ented so that the wheels are either horizon-
tal or vertical. Figure 12 and Figure 13.
3. Adjust the distance between the wheels and
the table top or fence (depending on the ori­entation of the wheels). The distance should be about
1
16"-1⁄8" less than the thickness of
the wood.
4. Ensure that the power feeder position is
securely locked. Also ensure that the fence is securely locked.
5. Turn on the power feeder and the tool it is
mounted to. Slowly feed your workpiece into and under the wheels of the power feeder.
6. Retrieve the workpiece as it feeds out of the machine. Do not stand directly in front of
or in back of the workpiece as it is feed­ing through your power tool. Stand to one side.
