2.11 Power Feed Operation
See Figure 2-13. The power feed system moves the saw head forward and backward by using two
switches on the control panel.
Forward Feed Rate
The feed rate switch controls the speed at which the saw head travels forward. Turn the switch
clockwise to increase speed. Turn it counterclockwise to reduce speed.
Forward/Reverse Saw Head Movement
The power feed switch controls the direction in which the saw head travels. Turn the
forward/reverse switch upward to move the saw head forward. Turn the switch down to move the
saw head backward.
The middle position (shown in the figure) is the neutral position. The power feed switch is designed
to return to the neutral or "off" position when released. If the switch remains engaged, manually
move it to the neutral or "off" position. Repair the drum switch (See Section 3.5
).
WARNING! Be sure the power feed switch is in the neutral position
before turning the key switch to the #2 or #1 position. This prevents
accidental carriage movement which may cause serious injury or
death.
