SAFETY WARNINGS!!
Do not operate the PF-6 without electrical safety devices in place and functioning
properly.
Do not attempt to lift heavy reels of material on to the PF-6 to avoid personal injury.
Avoid contact with material as it transfers to the cutting machine.
The electrical enclosures must be kept closed and secured. Only authorized persons
with appropriate training should access these enclosures. In the event that it is
required to access electrical enclosures with main power on, only persons properly
trained and familiar with acceptable Safety regulations may do so.

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.

OPERATIONAL PUSH BUTTON CONTROLS
POWER ON/OFF: Applies or disconnects power to the machine
START: Applies power to the motor speed control. (Button lights when “on”)
EMERGENCY STOP: Stops all power to the motor when depressed.
SPEED: Sets the base (maximum) speed the PF-6 can achieve at full arm travel.

LOADING
To load the Artos PF-6 you should first move the storage arm to the full travel position and move
the latch to the locked position. This must be done with the motor on. Once latched, stop the
motor.
CAUTION: Never attempt to move the storage arm with the motor off. Damage to
the variable speed pulley will occur. If the arm becomes jammed at the maximum
travel and will not come back under power it will be necessary to disconnect the
machine from power, remove the front guard and turn it over by hand until the
mechanism is free.
Place the reel on the shaft provided and rest the shaft in the frame. Make certain the double rings
on the shaft straddle one of the side plates. Restart the motor and while holding the arm release
the latch to allow the arm to retract slowly.
CAUTION: Do not substitute the supplied shaft with a longer shaft. Damage to
the arm will occur.
A reel with a good circumference edge can be placed on the rollers if so equipped.
The wire should come off the top of the reel and into the feed wheel.

1. Feed the wire through (50) wire guide.
2. Thread wire over (29) idler pulley.
3. Thread wire under and over (15) feed pulley.
4. Thread wire under and over 1st pulley on (87) load arm control.
5. Thread wire under and over (10) stationary pulley
6. Return wire and thread under and over 2nd pulley on (87) load control arm.
7. Feed wire into machine.

ADJUSTMENT
The only adjustment for the operation of the Artos PF-6 is the speed setting. The speed should
be set at a rate that allows the storage arm to oscillate about half way up in its travel range. For
the best results the motor should not stop during normal cycling and the storage arm should not
use its maximum travel.
MAINTENANCE
Daily: Clean machine and check condition of the feed wheel band for wear.
Check all control functions.
Monthly: Remove the front conver and check belts and lubricate variable speed pulley with
multi-purpose grease.
Annually: Check motor brushes and replace as needed.
