The feed rate of the table must be adjusted as the machine is put into motion. The
design of this machine will not allow cutting faster than the blade will remove the
material. If the table stalls out into the cut slow this feed rate down, or adjust the cutting
pressure counter weight.
To start the table in motion the foot pedal is depressed. Keeping your foot level on the
pedal (tilting the pedal toward the machine) depress the pedal and release it. This will
disengage the pedal from its locked position, and set the table in motion.
Once the table is moving adjust the flow control to increase or decrease the tables feed
rate. By turning the control clockwise will decrease the rate and counter clockwise will
increase the rate.
Always make this adjustment when machine is running.
After the cut is complete, depress the pedal downward keeping the pedal level. This will
then engage the pedal lock.
