WARNING
Read this manual completely and observe all warning labels on the machine. Oliver Machinery has made
every attempt to provide a safe, reliable, easy-to-use piece of machinery. Safety, however, is ultimately
the responsibility of the individual machine operator. As with any piece of machinery, the operator must
exercise caution, patience, and common sense to safely run the machine. Before operating this product,
become familiar with the safety rules in the following sections.
1. If you are not properly trained in the use of a stock feeder do not use until the proper training has
been obtained.
2. Read, understand and follow the safety instructions found in this manual. Know the limitations and
hazards associated with this machine.
3. Electrical grounding: Make certain that the machine frame is electrically grounded and that a
ground lead is included in the incoming electrical service. In cases where a cord and plug are used,
make certain that the grounding plug connects to a suitable ground. Follow the grounding procedure
indicated in the National Electrical Code.
4. Eye safety: Wear an approved safety shield, goggles, or glasses to protect eyes. Common
eyeglasses are only impact-resistant, they are not safety glasses.
5. Personal protection: Before operating the machine, remove tie, rings, watch and other jewelry and
roll up sleeves above the elbows. Remove all loose outer clothing and confine long hair. Protective
type footwear should be used. Where the noise exceeds the level of exposure allowed in Section
1910.95 of the OSHA Regulations, use hearing protective devices. Do not wear gloves.
6. Guards: Keep the machine guards in place for every operation for which they can be used. If any
guards are removed for maintenance, DO NOT OPERATE the machine until the guards are
reinstalled.
7. Work area: Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, saw dust, oil and
other liquids to minimize the danger of tripping or slipping. Be sure the table is free of all scrap,
foreign material and tools before starting to use the machine. Make certain the work area is well
lighted and that a proper exhaust system is used to minimize dust. Use anti-skid floor strips on the
floor area where the operator normally stands and mark off machine work area. Provide adequate
work space around the machine.
8. Material condition: Do not attempt to feed boards with loose knots or with nails or other foreign
material. Do not attempt to feed twisted, warped, bowed stock.
9. Operator position: Maintain a balanced stance and keep your body under control at all times.
10. Before starting: Before turning on machine, remove all extra equipment such as keys, wrenches,
scraps, and cleaning rags away from the machine.
11. Careless acts: Give the work you are doing your undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a
conversation, and “horseplay” are careless acts that can result in serious injury.
12. Disconnect all power sources: Before performing any service, maintenance, adjustments or when
changing blades. A machine under repair should be RED TAGGED to show it should not be used
until the maintenance is complete.
13. Job completion: If the operator leaves the machine area for any reason, the feeder should be
turned "off" before their departure.

4
14. Replacement parts: Use only genuine Oliver Machinery factory authorized replacement parts and
accessories; otherwise the warranty and guarantee is null and void.
15. Misuse: Do not use this Oliver stock feeder for other than its intended use. If used for other
purposes, Oliver disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury or
damage which may result from that use.
16. Drugs, alcohol and medication: Do not operate this machine while under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or any medication.
17. Health hazards: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
 Lead from lead-based paint.
 Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
 Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Familiarize yourself with the following safety notices used in this manual:
CAUTION: (This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in minor or moderate injury
and/or possible machine damage)
WARNING: (This means that if precautions are not heeded, it could result in serious injury or possibly
even death).
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR STOCK FEEDERS
1. Cutting tools MUST be rotating before feeding.
2. DO NOT overload the cutting tool by feeding too fast.
3. ALWAYS KEEP hands away from rotating parts.
4. PROVIDE support for long stock on out feed end of table.
5. STOP the feeder before stopping the cutting tool.
6. DISCONNECT power before making repairs or adjustment.
