Power Feed
The carriage has longitudinal and cross slide
power feed capabilities.
To engage the power feed:
1. Move the feed direction lever to the desired
setting. The arrow above the screw thread
icon indicates the direction of longitudinal
feed. Cross feed directions are as follows:
when the arrow points to the left, the cross
feed is away from the spindle axis; when
arrow points to the right, the cross feed is
towards the spindle axis (see
Figure 51).
Note: These instructions are valid with a
counterclockwise rotation of the spindle. All
directions reverse when spindle rotation is
reversed.
NOTICE
Feed rate is based on spindle RPM. High
feed rates combined with high spindle
speeds result in a rapidly moving carriage or
cross slide. Pay close attention to the feed
rate you have chosen and keep your hand
poised over the ON/OFF switch. Failure to
fully understand this will cause the carriage
to crash into the spindle.
