Hmm...let's see:

用力....."(in the) use (of) force"

力中....."(from) within (the) force"

能........"(you are) able to"

借力....."borrow force"

"In the use of force, from within the force, you are able to borrow force."

臨機機內要關機 Always sounded to me like something a flight attendant might say....

[Daifong]

Ok, how about:

临机....."(as you) encounter a movement's power"

机内....."(from) inside of the movement's power"

要........"(you) must"

关机....."cut off the movement's power"

"As you encounter a movement's power, from inside of the movement's power, you must cut off the movement's power."

[Daifong]

So then, altogether it would be:

用力力中能藉力, 临机机内要关机

"In the use of force, from within the force, you are able to borrow force; as you encounter a movement's power, from inside of the movement's power, you must cut off the movement's power."

This 14-character couplet explains the two main principles forming the basis of Lin Siu Daai Da (连消带打) technique.

Very nice, Sifu Derek Johnson!
