With the power ‘OFF’and the accessory box removed. Ensure no foreign materials are loaded
into hopper. Pour in screws until they are approximately 1 - 2 mm below the bottom of the rail.
Replace cover (accessory box) on hopper opening. Keep cover on at all times while feeder is in
use.
The hopper can hold approximately 200 - 220 cc of screws. All objects other than applied screws
are deemed as foreign material which should be removed rst or they will aect the perfor-
mance of this feeder.
Overall Length of Fastener < 10 mm
Overall Length of Fastener < 19 mm
Plug in the AC power adapter supplied with the feeder into the feeder rst. Then plug the AC
power adapter into proper outlet. Connect ground cable. Turn the power switch ‘ON’ at the top
right side of the screw hopper. The power indicator will illuminate, the overload LED will illumi-
nate momentarily and the buzzer will emit a short ‘beep‘. The roller assembly will turn and the
rail assembly will vibrate. The feeder will start to feed screws to the bit guide.
Make sure the bit type in your electric screwdriver matches the head of the
screw and the bit is magnetized before use. (Bits that are not magnetized will
not work - For stainless steel applications, a vacuum pickup is required).
Hold the screwdriver, place the driver bit above the bit guide as shown. You do
not need to aim directly for the head of the screw, allow the point of the screw-
driver bit to move down the bit guide and engage into the recess of the screw
head.
· Do not push the driver down with too much force when picking up the screw or it will damage
the rail assembly
· Do not deliberately apply force on the rail assembly as this will damage the feeder

A - Vibration Timer: Adjustable time delay, controls how long the rail continues to vibrate
after a screw is detected at the pick-up position.
B - Drum Timer: Adjustable time delay, controls how long the drum and brush continue to
operate after a screw is detected at the pick-up position.
C - Vibration Intensity: Allows for adjustment of the intensity of the vibration for proper screw
feeding.
Note - When making adjustments to the above controls, please use the included adjustment tool and
do not force the control past its stopping points. Little eort is required to make adjustments. Forcing
the controls past their stopping points will damage the feeder and void the warranty.
E - Gates: The top and side gates perform two functions - they allow the feeder to
accommodate dierent rail/screw adjustment settings and they
can be opened fully to allow the rail to be removed for setup purposes.
It is extremely important that the gates be properly closed (steps 47-48)
before the feeder is put into service.
Indication LED:
F2 - Overload Indicator: Lights briey when the feeder is powered on and provides a visual
indication if the feeder is overloaded.
G - Ground Connection: Used with included ground cable to bond the feeder to a grounding
point in the workstation.
H - DC Power Input: 15 VDC input connection for the AC power adapter provided with the
feeder.
I - Power Switch: Illuminated switch used to turn the feeder ‘ON/OFF’.
