Feed direction
The facing head feeds automatically in either direction. Internal one-way clutches
drive a pinion feed shaft along the rack. After pushing the feed shaft in on one side
or the other, the cutting tool will feed in the direction indicated by the arrow on the
side of the head. Be sure the feed shaft engagement pins are fully engaged.
•
To feed away from the chuck, push the feed shaft on the side of the facing
head with the arrow pointing out.
•
To feed toward the chuck, push the feed shaft on the side of the facing head
with the arrow pointing in.
NOTE
When both shaft pins are out of their detent slots, the feed system is in
NEUTRAL and can be fed by hand in either direction.
Feed rate
•
Adjust the feed rate using the small round knob
located near the trip mechanism.
•
Clockwise decreases the feed rate.
•
Counterclockwise increases the feed rate.
•
Continue feeding until cutting begins. Add a small
amount of cutting oil.
CAUTION
Do not stop the air motor while the tool is cutting.
•
Once you have the surface you want, back the tool
away from the work piece, using the feed handles.
•
Stop the machine by closing the ball valve.
