The powerfeed engagement lever is located on the upper right side of the apron
and has a three-position gate with neutral, longitudinal (x axis) and cross feed
(y axis). The powerfeed engagement lever can be operated while the machine
is running.
Engagement of the x axis is achieved by moving the lever to the left and
pushing down and the engagement of the y axis is to the right and lifting up.

Don’t allow the table to move beyond the travel limitations.
Before running the powerfeed, do a “dry run” by manually
feeding the cross-slide table and carriage assembly the
distance that you will be feeding your project. This will
prevent any unnecessary crashes that can cause serious
damage to your machine.
