Engage the feed by pulling 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 clockwise only.
3.7.5 Disengaging the feed under load
If the machine is stopped while the feed box is under load, it may be difficult to
disengage the feed.
CAUTION
To avoid internal damage to the feed box, do not force the feed
adjustment knob.
To disengage a feed box under load:

2. Turn the wrench in the direction the lead screw was turning while pushing or
pulling the feed adjustment knob.
Upon disengagement, the feed box will rotate freely in either direction.
If the feed box does not disengage:
1. Unbolt the feed box from the end of the bar.
2. Shift the feed into NEUTRAL.
3. Re-install the feed box.
3.7.6 Setting the feed rate
To reduce the rate of feed, pull the plunger and lock in the out position then turn the
adjustment knob clockwise. To increase the feed rate, pull the plunger and lock in
position then turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise. The feed is adjustable
while the machine is running.
