position with felt pads bearing exactly on knife. Turn valve
(23) counterclockwise to allow EASTMAN lubricant to flow
freely without restriction. Open left and right valve (25) by
turning counter clockwise equal amounts to insure equal flow
for desire lubrication.

way by pressing levers 36 and 46 together. Drop KNIFE
GUARD/PRESSURE FOOT by means of pressure foot lever
located next to machine operating handle. Press lever
