3.Make sure there are no obstructions to ram travel, especially any tooling around the workpiece, then slowly rotate the adjustment bolt to move the ram. Rotating the bolt clock- wise will move the ram backward.

4.re-tighten the lock bolts.

Model G0747/G0748 (Mfg. Since 8/12)

Always lock the ram firmly in place after moving it. Unexpected movement of the ram and head during operations could damage the cutter or workpiece.
