INSTALLATION
Place the Artos PF-6 on a flat level surface adjacent to the infeed side of the cutting machine. It
should sit so the top of the storage pulleys are the same height as the infeed point of the cutting
machine. The nearest storage arm pulley should line up with the infeed pint in front to back
plane
WARNING: Do not lift the pre-feeder storage arm unless motor power is on. Damage to the
variable speed pulley can result if it is not energized while moving.
WARNING: Do not operate this machine on a wet floor or potentially wet area!
Attached the power cord to an appropriate size power source.
