SPECIAL OPERATIONS

IF CABLE GETS CAUGHT IN LINE
The motor can be reversed for a few seconds at a time to free the
cable if it gets caught in line. (Note: if using Power Cable Feed, put-
ting motor in reverse will cause the feed control lever to operate oppo-
site of normal.)
1. Move motor switch to the reverse position.
2. Step on the foot pedal while retracting on the cable.
3. After cable is loose, move motor switch back into forward posi-
tion.
DO NOT RUN MOTOR IN REVERSE FOR MORE THAN A
FEW SECONDS AT A TIME SINCE THIS COULD CAUSE
THE CABLE TO KINK OR TANGLE IN THE DRUM.
IF CABLE TANGLES IN DRUM
This can be caused by using too much pressure, running the machine
in reverse, or a poorly lubricated or frozen roller in the feed. To untan-
gle the cable, rotate the drum in the opposite direction (See Feed
Maintenance). This will usually get the cable to lie in the drum proper-
ly.
If the cable has become badly tangled, which shouldn't occur if used
properly, it may be necessary to pull the entire cable out of the drum
and reinstall it. (See "How to Install Cable" section.)
HOW TO INSTALL CABLE IN DRUM
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE INSTALLING CABLE IN DRUM!
1. Connect the male end of the cable to the drum connecting cable
already attached to the drum.
2. Remove the V-Belt.
3. Be certain that the cable goes into
the drum as shown in the illustration,
or the cable will tangle in the drum.
4. Replace the V-Belt after cable is
installed.
NOTE: The cable must lay in the drum in the correct direction or it will
tangle in the drum.
