I ran into the same thing. ?No documentation regarding these shipping bolts that keep the trunnion locked in at around 22 degrees. ?I had to call tech support when I couldn’t get mine to move to 90. ?Then they send me all this documentation and a video link showing how to do this. ?Pretty important info to know, must have forgot to pack it with all the other paper work.

When I was assembling my K700S, one of the steps was to free the saw carriage from its a restraining bolt in the carriage assembly (my apologies, as I'm making-up the terminology). The restraining bolt (which kept the carriage at a non-90 degree angle during shipping), was not documented in the manual - I called the Tech people at Felder, and they mentioned the restraining bolt. Once the bolt is removed, the carriage swings to its 90 degree position.

SIDE NOTE: I couldn’t believe my eyes when the machine arrived with Powerdrive K2! The spec sheet doesn’t even show that I has power drive. My salesman didn’t know of this either. This was the other buyer’s machine that I accepted delivery of after paying extra for the miter index and DRO style fence.?

Here’s my spec sheet. This seems to me like a factory oversight???

Re: Hammer HS950 Edge Sander #whatmachinetobuy

 

I have one.

You have to remove the bottom piece of the runner.? If you look at the diagram for the HS950 in the instructions, it alludes to removing it.? The hex bolts are in there with some kind of thread lock.? Some heat might help.? When you remove it, it works, but you need to insert some included set screws to keep the thing level in the t-slot.

I can take the picture of the instruction page tomorrow if you need it.

Re: Hammer HS950 Edge Sander #whatmachinetobuy

 

I remember i had a problem too. Just don’t remember what it was. Sorry?
I think I either had to remove something or take something apart to get it on there but it does fit so take heart in that :-)

The gauge came with three small hex screws that must be the solution, but I can’t figure out how to use them. Anyone have any advice??

?Did the freight company deliver with the lift gate? Felder told me the machine was too big for liftgate service, so I have to pick it up from the freight company.

Is the pallet with the machine base configured so it can be picked up from the side, instead of from the end?

Supposedly mine will be shipped from Delaware, leaving by the end of next week.

I had mine delivered FedEx freight, it only had to transferee once enroute. When I told the local FedEx terminal manager the size and weight they refused to put it on a lift gate. I picked mine up at the terminal. They were really helpful loading it to in my truck at the terminal.?

Ask Felder to send you a photo of your shipment leaving their warehouse and dimensions. ?If your freight terminal is anything like the one in Portland OR, they will give you a couple extra pallets and load it onto your trailer on those extra pallets. ?Then you can offload it with short forks at your shop and you have materials to build a sauna. ?

That does help, thanks! I will have a trailer and a Bobcat with forks, but the forks are not long enough to pick it from one end.

Hi John, my delivery driver was able to wiggle the slider part back and forth onto the lift gate and lowered it while I had a forklift oopsie moment and needed a tug to get traction/moving off a dropped part in the driveway. The base that the machine comes on is meant to be picked up from the side, but it arrived sitting on a second pallet which could only be picked up from the end with fork extensions.?
The base measures 82.5” x 50” which gives you a diagonal of 96.5”. Even if the liftgate was big enough to fit that size, It would be a pretty tight fit to turn it 90° in the trailer if the machine came on a pallet that was able to be picked up from the side. Hope that helps answer your question.?

I have a bevel and 6” square from them. I recently found the receipt from them and I think it was $35 for the 6” in 1991
