3. The configuration string of characters to the
right of the selected feed rate (LCS8W) dis-
plays the positions to set the feed controls for
a feed rate of 0.18mm/rev. (see Figure 74).
Note: In the next step, use the chuck key to
rock the spindle back and forth to help mesh
the gears as you make adjustments.
4. Position the controls as directed by the con-
figuration string as follows (see Figure 75):
L: Move the feed range lever to the low (Low)
position.
C: Point the left quick-change gearbox lever
to the C.
S: Move the middle quick-change gearbox
lever to the S.
8: Position the bottom gearbox lever in the 8
slot.
W: Point the right gearbox lever to the W.
The lathe is now set up for a power feed rate of
0.18mm per spindle revolution.

The end gears can be setup for the standard or
alternate configuration, depending upon the type
of operation to be performed. The lathe is shipped
with the end gears in the standard configuration.
Standard End Gear Configuration
Use the standard end gear configuration for inch
threading, metric threading, and all general feed
operations.
In this configuration, the end gears are installed
as follows: the 24T end gear is installed in the
top position, the 44T/56T transposing gears in
the middle position, and the 57T end gear in the
bottom position, as shown in Figure 76. In this
configuration the 56T and 57T gears are meshed.
