Quill Feed Control

The quill feed is controlled by the downfeed lever shown

in

Figure 14. The handle allows the mill to operate as a

drill.

To use the downfeed lever, do this step:

1. Pull the quill downfeed lever (Figure 14) forward

to feed the quill down towards the workpiece. The

quill feed handle is spring loaded to assist in return-

ing the handle to the upmost vertical position.

Micro Downfeed Knob

The micro downfeed knob is used to accurately control

the quill depth (see

Figure 15).

To use the micro downfeed handwheel, do these

steps:

1. Push the clutch knob (Figure 15) in lightly and rotate

the micro downfeed knob until the clutch knob

engages the gear.

2. Rotate the micro downfeed knob clockwise to feed

the quill down and counterclockwise to raise the

quill.

Digital Height Gauge

The digital height gauge (

Figure 16) provides accurate

height measurements, zeroing at any height, and

incremental readout adjustments.

ON/OFF button: Turns the digital height gauge ON or

OFF. This gauge does not automatically turn OFF, so the

batteries will die if the gauge is left ON.

ZERO button: Returns the digital readout to 0.000

independent of the height of the quill.

MM/IN button: Changes readout from inches to

millimeters.

PLUS and MINUS buttons: Adds or subtracts from the

number shown on the digital readout. You must hold the

button for several seconds before it begins to function.

When the batteries wear out, open the cover shown in

Figure 16 and replace the battery.
