How to feed the timber:
This is always done from the switch side for a couple of reasons:
- The first being that there are powered rubberised rollers that assist you by pulling the timber through.
- The second are the “non-return fingers”, which prevent the timber from kicking back out during the planning processes, protecting you from potential injury.
How fast to feed the timber:
- The timber is slowly feed through at the right speed automatically by powered rubberised rollers. It's important to assist them when feeding and by pulling the timber through.
- Never let the rollers do all the work of feeding the timber, otherwise you can overload the motor and wear the rollers out prematurely.
