4. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Wolfcraft Roller Trestle:

1. Unfold the Trestle: Carefully unfold the legs of the trestle until they fully extend and lock into their open position. Ensure all locking mechanisms are engaged for stability.
2. Positioning: Place the trestle on a stable, level surface near your workbench or machine table.
3. Adjust Height: Use the continuous height adjustment mechanism to raise or lower the roller to the desired height. For optimal material feeding, the roller should be set slightly above the height of your workbench or machine table. Secure the height adjustment firmly.

5. Operating Instructions

The roller trestle is designed to assist in handling long or heavy workpieces, making various tasks safer and more efficient.

• Material Feeding: Position the trestle so that the roller supports the workpiece as it extends from your machine table (e.g., saw, router table) or workbench. The bearing-mounted roller allows for smooth feeding of the material through the machine or across the work surface.
• Stability: Always ensure the workpiece is stable on both the primary work surface and the roller trestle before beginning any operation. Uneven support can lead to inaccurate cuts or dangerous kickbacks.
• Load Distribution: Distribute the weight of the workpiece evenly across the roller. Avoid concentrating heavy loads on one side.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your roller trestle.

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and locking mechanisms to ensure they are tight and secure.
• Cleanliness: Keep the roller and frame clean and free of sawdust, debris, and grime. A damp cloth can be used for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
• Roller Function: Ensure the roller spins freely. If it becomes stiff, check for obstructions or apply a small amount of light lubricant to the bearings if accessible and recommended by the manufacturer (refer to specific product documentation if available).
• Storage: When not in use, fold the trestle for compact storage in a dry, clean environment to prevent rust and damage.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Wolfcraft Roller Trestle, refer to the following common solutions:

• Trestle is unstable:
  • Ensure the legs are fully extended and locked into position.
  • Verify that the trestle is placed on a flat, level, and stable surface.
  • Check for any loose fasteners and tighten them if necessary.
• Roller not moving smoothly:
  • Inspect the roller and its housing for any accumulated sawdust, debris, or obstructions. Clean thoroughly.
  • Ensure the roller is not bent or damaged.
• Difficulty adjusting height:
  • Check the height adjustment mechanism for any obstructions or dirt.
  • Ensure the locking lever or knob is fully disengaged before attempting to adjust the height.
