TM 9-3418-200-14 & P
The arrow engraved in the top of the pawl indicates the direction which the work table will automatically travel when the
automatic feed is engaged. When the pawl is lifted and turned so that the arrow points toward the handwheel the table
may be moved back and forth on the cross rail by means of the ball crank. Assuming that you have a left cut tool in the
tool holder crank the work over on the cross rail until the work is on the left side of the cutter. Move the cutting head down
to the surface of the work and lock into position with the knurled lock-screw on the side of the head. The table support
should be lowered and locked in contact with the machined surface on the base casting, figure 32. This surface should
have a light coat of machine oil and should always be kept clear of metal chips. With the cutting tool slightly to the right
side at the beginning of the work turn the cutter head down to the amount of feed desired using the graduated dial beneath
the ball crank to obtain the correct depth.
