Manual drive option for the electromechanical actuator is designed to facilitate set up processes while power is off when welding gun design does not allow to extend/retract the actuator rod by its direct screwing/unscrewing (for example, when the rod is firmly attached to moveable machine mechanisms).
In this case it is possible to perform tuning of the rod position by applying a wrench towards the manual drive nut in the rear part of the actuator housing.
