lease Foot Switch, press Direction Lever down to temporarily
reverse cable feed direction, and re-wind to relieve twist on Cable.

When Cable has
trouble getting

Press Motor Direction Switch (5) to Reverse while applying
steady pressure to Cable. Keep in mind that this will reverse auto
feed operation as well. Do for only a few seconds to pass bend.

a smaller cable

neutral position. Allow Cable to progress forward slowly, chew-
ing stoppage. Slow forward move-ment reduces stress on Cable,

opened, return the cable to the Drum. To do that: Place the Direc-
tion Lever (44-16)
