SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
Power feed
The power feed will move the table in the
To operate the power feed:
1.Loosen the table locking levers located just below the front edge of the table.
2.Adjust the table stops to the right and left to the desired distance you wish the table to travel. When they hit the switch the power feed will be deactivated.
Before running your power feed be sure there is enough running clearance between the table, spindle, vise, clamps and/or parts. Be aware that all of these can become pinch points.
3.Use the switch located to the left of the power feed lever to turn on the power feed.
4.Push the lever to the right to move the table to the right.
5.Push the lever to the left to move the table to the left.
6.Turn the dial at the base of the lever to increase or decrease the speed of table movement.
NOTICE
The table stops supplied with the machine will not stop the powerfeed until the switch buttons are totally depressed. To set up for accurate stops make a few “dry runs” without running the Mill/Drill. Reset the stops until the table motion ends in a satisfactory location.
7.Press the “rapid switch” with the lever pushed in the direction of desired move- ment to move the table at maximum veloc- ity.
8.If there is a powerfeed motor overload (i.e. trying to move too fast through a heavy cut), the built in circuit breaker will trip, and the powerfeed will stop. If this occurs, pro- ceed with these steps:
a.Stop the milling operation.
b.Turn the powerfeed switch to the “off” position.
c.Press the circuit breaker reset button located in the upper left front corner of the power feed unit.
d.Troubleshoot and remedy the cause of the electrical overload and start again.
