HEAD CONTROL:
RETRACT: The head will retract until it reaches the HEAD BACK LIMIT SETTING.

determined by the vise opening. Advance is controlled by the FEED RATE and FEED FORCE

HYDRAULIC START:

nated when ON to give the operator an indication that the hydraulic system is running. The head
selector switch as well as the both vise selector switches have to be in their neutral centre posi-
tion for hydraulics to start.
LEFT VISE:
This switch operates the vise on the left side of the blade. If the switch is placed in the neutral

vises has to be in the closed position, and the other must be in the closed or open position (not
neutral).

This button is only active when the hydraulic system is running. Momentarily depressing this
button will start the blade motor. This button is illuminated for operator safety while the blade
is running. This button can not start the blade running unless both vises are closed, or one
closed and the other open.

or right side of the machine.
