W hile the LCD panel LED is on, push the unloading lever
forward until it hits the stopper.
Screws will drop onto your palm at the same time.

The feeder, when just powered on, behaves differently
depending on the state in which it had been powered off.
The feeder won’t start unless you manipulate the unloading
lever.

Return your hand to front with care not to drop the screws off
your palm.
The LCD panel LED goes out and the feeder restarts.

5.2  Unloading Screws

This feeder ships factory-adjusted to handle pan-head screws.  The
feeder should require the following checks and adjustments depending
on the kind of screw to use:

LCD panel setting change
Brush check and adjustment
Passage plate check and adjustment
Retaining plate check and adjustment
Rail assembly and cutting disc assembly check and adjustment

• W hen the power switch is turned on, the scooping plate moves up

and down for a predetermined period of time and then stops.

• Manipulate the unloading lever to start the feeder.
• W hen a preset count of screws has accumulated at the unloading

port, the LED lights up, the buzzer sounds, and the feeder halts with a
certain delay.

• Manipulate the unloading lever to unload the preset (metered) count

of screws and the LED goes out, with the feeder restarting.

• If you manipulate the unloading lever before a preset count of screws

is stored, the LED blinks and the buzzer continues sounding. The
feeder then starts recounting the preset count of screws after a
predetermined period of time.

• The LCD panel indicators and settings are backed up by batteries in

times of power outages or when the power switch is turned off.
Even in times of power outages, the operations described above will
take place in the regular sequence.

• Push the unloading lever forward until it hits the stopper.  The LCD

panel LED does not go out and the feeder does not restart unless the
unloading lever is in contact with the stopper.
