3.7.2 Neutral (no feed)
In neutral, the lead screw can turn in either direction. To verify this, insert a hex
wrench into the lead screw dial and turn the dial. If the machine is in neutral, the
wrench will turn freely in either direction.
3.7.3 Feed away from the axial feed unit
Engage the feed by pushing the feed adjustment knob with one hand and slightly
turning the lead screw dial with a wrench until you feel the unit engage. When the
feed unit engages, the dial will turn counter-clockwise only.
