adjustable sleeve should be next to the up/down/swivel handle at the front of the unit; the other end
of the cable should be next to the vertical axis welding (accessed from the left side of the unit).
3) Working from the front of the machine, insert the cable end stopper into the through the grooved
slot on the handle assembly carefully aligning the groove on the cable with that of the groove in the
slot (refer to the detail shown in Figure 8-88 on page 8-101).

sufficiently to regain tension on the cable. Using an M4 Allen key, tighten the two cap screws on the
bracket to hold it firmly in position - refer to Figure 8-79 on page 8-96.
