14.  Turn the spindle direction switch to the stop 

(middle) position to prevent the spindle from 

starting when you next use the ON button.

15.  Make sure the emergency STOP button has 

been reset, press the ON button, then start 

spindle rotation.

16.  Push the spindle brake lever—the spindle 

motor should turn OFF and the spindle 

should come to a stop from the pressure of 

the brake.

17.  Position the coolant nozzle over the table, 

turn the coolant switch on the control panel 

to the on (right) position to start the coolant 

pump, then open the valve at the base of the 

nozzle to begin the flow of coolant.

18.  Check for leaks from the hose fittings and 

that the coolant is properly draining back 

into the reservoir through the screen on the 

base.

The mill comes with a power feed unit for X-axis 

table travel. Proper operation of the limit switch 

attached to the front middle of the table is 

critical for the safe use of this power feed unit.

If the power feed does not operate as expected 

during the following steps, disconnect it 

from power and contact our Tech Support at 

(360) 734-1540 for assistance.

1.  Make sure all tools, cables, and other items 

are well clear of table movement as you 

follow these steps.

2.  Refer to the Table Movement section, 

beginning on Page 27, to understand how 

the power feed,  table locks, and limit switch 

function.

3.  Loosen the table locks on the front of the 

table.

4.  Plug the power feed power cord into a 110V 

power outlet.

Note: There are available 110V outlets on the 

right side of the electrical cabinet that can 

be used for the power feed or other 110V 

devices.

5.  Make sure the power feed directional lever 

is in the neutral (middle) position, turn the 

speed dial counterclockwise to the lowest 

setting, then flip the power switch to the on 

(up) position.

6.  Turn the directional lever to the left, slowly 

turn the speed dial clockwise to increase the 

speed, then confirm that the table is moving 

to the left.

7.  Watch for the table limit stop to hit the 

limit switch and turn the power feed OFF, 

stopping the table movement.

8.  Turn the directional lever through the 

neutral (middle) position and all the way to 

the right. The table should begin moving to 

the right.

9.  Confirm that the table stops moving when 

the limit stop presses against the limit 

switch plunger.

10.  Move the directional lever to the neutral 

(middle) position and flip the power switch to 

the off (down) position.
