To avoid the risk of gear damage, always start spindle rotation before using the auto- downfeed rate selector.

7.Select one of the three downfeed rates by pulling the knob of the auto-downfeed rate selector out, position the selector over the appropriate detent, then release the knob. Make sure the pin is firmly seated by attempting to move the selector without pulling the knob out.

Note: Refer to the illustration in Figure 43 when selecting the downfeed rate.

8.Use the coarse downfeed lever to lower the spindle slightly until you can pull the clutch lever out to the left and it locks in place, which will start the auto-downfeed spindle travel.

Spindle Brake

To avoid premature wear of the brake system, use the spindle brake ONLY after power to the spindle has been turned OFF.

After turning the power to the spindle OFF, move the brake lever back or forth to bring the spindle to a full stop (see Figures 44–45).

To evenly wear the brake shoes, alternate the direction you move the lever when braking.
