Step 6:

Set the recommended speed for the work stock material and cutter

that you are using. (See chapter 8 for setting speeds.)

Step 7:

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.

Step 8:

Once your speed has been set start the machine and engage the

powerfeed selector into the desired position. (Pushing the lever up will run the

powerfeed along the Y-Axis. Pushing the lever down will engage the X-Axis

powerfeed.)

Step 9:

To stop powerfeeding, disengage the powerfeed by moving the lever

into the neutral position which is half way between the Y-Axis and X-Axis

engagement.

! NOTICE !

For optimum performance be certain to set the belts to run in the

upper portion of the suggested spindle rotation speed range.
