OPERATION PROBLEMS
Problem Possible Cause Remedy
In-and out-feed marks (snipes). 1. Incorrectly adjusted in- and
out-feed tables.
2. The workpieces are not butted
when being fed into the machine.
3. The feeding pressure of the feed
rollers is incorrectly adjusted.
4. The workpiece is bent or warped.
5. There is play in the suspension of
the machine table.
1. Adjust the in- and out-feed tables so
that they are set to the same height as
the machine table. The tables must also
be in line with the machine table or
somewhat higher at the outer ends.
2. Butt the workpieces end to end when
feeding them into the machine. This will
eliminate the variations of the feeding
pressure that can occur the moment the
feed rollers grab the workpiece.
3. Make sure that the feeding pressure
is sufficient and that the rollers are bal-
ancing horizontally over the workpiece.
4. Slightly lift the back end of the work-
piece when it is being fed into the
machine. This will make it possible for
the feed rollers to press the workpiece
flat against the machine table.
5. By using little force, check if the
machine table can be wobbled in any
direction. If this is the case, see Leveling
the machine.
