Tip: Use the fold-out lever (hZZ Figure 15) for additional leverage to unlock the fine feed lock knob if the knob is too tight. Do not use the fold-out lever to tighten the knob.

Tip: Milling with the quill fully extended can cause tool chatter. For maximum spindle rigidity, it is better to keep the spindle retract- ed into the headstock as far as possible with the quill lock lever and fine feed lock knob tightened.
