the headstock (forward), and moves the carriage
to the right toward the tailstock (reverse). the
leadscrew will not turn when the feed direction
lever is in the neutral position.

to prevent apron and drive system damage, the
apron is equipped with an internal lockout, mean-
ing that in order to engage the half nut for thread-
ing, this lever (see figure 57) must be moved to
the central or the disengaged position. Also keep
in mind that just as with longitudinal feed opera-
tions, before any threading operation. you must
first verify the carriage lock (see figure 57) is
disengaged, or the feed system may be damaged.
