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.
