CAUTION
Always be sure spindle motor is stopped before attempting to move this lever to
the in or engaged (upper) position.
NOTE
Disengage spindle power feed transmission when it is not being used. This will
stop unnecessary wear on power feed worm gear.
1. The quill may be locked in a given vertical location by turning the quill-clamp in a clockwise direction. Lever
is located at bottom of right side of head.
CAUTION
Do not engage quill feed with quill-clamp lever fully tightened.
2. The quill (or spindle) hand feed lever #100-002-107 can be adjusted to any one of six operating positions by
moving outwards (to the right) on the lever hub and rotating to the desired position. The hand feed lever is
held on by a spring plunger and can be pulled off when not in use.
3. Any one of three power feeds (in either an upward or downward direction) may be selected by moving the
feed shift lever, located on right side of head, to the desired feed (.0015", .003" or .006") per spindle
revolution. A neutral position is provided between each of these feed settings. If power feed is not being
used it is wise to place the feed shift lever in one of the neutral positions. It may be somewhat easier to
change the position of the feed selector lever when the spindle is rotating.
4. The fine feed handwheel #100-004-545 is placed in operating condition by locating the feed shift lever in a
neutral position and engaging the power feed engaging lever #100-002-953. The fine feed handwheel is
held on by a spring plunger and can be pulled off when not in use.
5. The knob on the shaft located in the center of the feed handwheel is used to select downfeed (pushed-in
position), neutral (mid-position) or upfeed (pulled-out position) for either the power feed or the handwheel
feed.
NOTE
Positions noted are for clockwise rotation of spindle. Counter clockwise rotation
reverses these positions.
Use spindle brake to restrict spindle rotation when tightening or loosening drawbar.
