6. WITH POWER ON, in order to
feed cable, the operator must
move the feeder control lever
from NEUTRAL (the position
midway between FORWARD and
REVERSE) to the FORWARD
position, while depressing the
foot actuator. (See Figure #2
for FORWARD feeder position)
Figure 2
NOTE: The speed at which the
cable is fed initially can be
controlled by moving the control
lever toward FORWARD to
increase speed and moving back
toward NEUTRAL to slow speed.
NOTE: If the feeder control lever is
initially put in FORWARD but the
cable is not advancing, then turn
the cable tension knob in a
clockwise direction until the cable
begins to advance. (See Figure #3)
DO NOT over-tighten cable tension
knob as it may damage feeder
bearings.

7. Continue to automatically feed
cable until obstruction is met.
When cable begins to drag or
rotation becomes difficult, move
the lever to the NEUTRAL
position and allow tool to cut
away at the obstruction. (See
Figure #4 for NEUTRAL feeder
position)
Figure 4
DANGER: NEVER force the cable
or tool into the obstruction. Choose
the proper feeding speed in order to
give a smooth cutting action.
