Synopsis

This manual is intended to assist current and potential owners of Felder sliding table equipment in several ways. If you are an expectant Felder owner, this manual can help you specify, plan for and deal with equipment delivery and electrical service needs. New users can be on the same page with the Felder technician during commissioning, and insure the equipment is properly calibrated and aligned. If you are inclined to install and calibrate the equipment yourself, this is an insider's look at how it is done, and done right the first time. Existing users will find this a valuable resource in maintaining alignment and performance of their equipment. This manual is titled a Survival Guide precisely because it includes most of the information needed for users of this Felder equipment to become self-reliant in the setup, service and use. The contents are generally applicable to the following equipment: Felder K700 Saw, F700 Shaper, KF700 Saw/Shaper Combination Machine, 900-Series Saw, Format-4 kappa 30 and kappa 40 Saws. This manual is organized in a tutorial fashion. It contains step-by-step illustrated guides to most of the assembly and alignment chores a user will likely face. However, it stops short of trying to assist the user in serious overhaul or faulty mechanical parts replacement. In spite of the tutorial nature of the materials, it is organized with the goal of also being an effective reference resource. For instance, the final section contains an extensive index, and the manual is organized in a manner that progresses from delivery planning to basic assembly and alignment verification, with the more advanced topics dealing with complex calibration methods in the back sections. There are several Appendix sections provided primarily as reference, including a trouble-shooting guide and the Commissioning Checklist.
