-28-

A.Limit Switch. Stops table movement when either of the switch side plungers are pressed by the limit stops.

B.Limit Stop. Restricts table movement by its positioning along the front of the table.

C.Graduated Index Ring. Displays the dis- tance of table travel in 0.001" increments, with one full revolution equal to 0.200" of table travel.

D.Feed/Jog Switch. In the left (feed) position, it enables the power feed to operate normally.

While pressing the switch to the right (jog position), the table moves in the selected direction until the switch is released.

In the middle position ("0"), table movement is disabled.

E.Speed Dial. Controls the speed of the power feed. Turning the dial clockwise causes the table to move faster.

F.Direction Knob. Selects the direction of table movement. The middle position is neutral.

G.Rapid Traverse Button. When pressed, moves the table at full speed when it is already in motion.

H.ON/OFF Button. Turns the power feed ON and OFF.

I.Circuit Breaker Reset Button. Resets the internal circuit breaker if the unit is overload- ed and shuts down.

J.X-Axis Ball Handle. Manually moves the table.
