reaches TDC. Releasing the palm buttons will inniate a immediate stop. Once the ram has reached TDC
you are required to release both palm buttons before initiating another stroke. Only two hand control is
allowed in Inch Mode.

Continuous stroke is initiated using the palm buttons only. Press the Continuous Arm button, a timer
will start. You have 3.5 seconds to inniate the stroke. Hold the palm buttons in until the ram has passed
through 175 degrees (bottom of stroke). Press the Top Stop Button to stop the ram.
