CAUTION
If the feed direction selector does not move smoothly, do not force it.
Stop the machine and gently work the arm back and forth while jogging
the feed mechanism with the manual feed crank handle. Forcing the
arm will damage the feed system, and may misalign the feed system.
Setting the feed direction
Do the following to set the feed direction:
1. Select the feed direction after positioning the tool manually. Select either
positive or negative (see Figure 3-22 on page 38).
2. Move the feed speed adjustment lever to
ZERO
(that is, counter-clockwise
past position 1 until the lever stops).
3. Start the machine.
4. Move the feed speed adjustment arm to the desired feed rate position. The
feed rate can be increased, decreased, or set to zero at any time during
machine operation.
WARNING
To protect yourself from flying chips and machine noise, wear eye and
ear protection while operating the machine.
WARNING
During normal machine use, it may be necessary to occasionally rotate
the machining arm counterclockwise. Only rotate the machining arm
counterclockwise when the feed direction selector is in the neutral
position or the feed speed adjustment lever is at zero.
Do not manually
rotate the machining arm counterclockwise with the feed direction
selector is engaged and/or with the feed speed adjustment lever in
a position other than 0.
This will cause serious damage to the feed
mechanism and void the warranty.
