did
not

out
the two adjusting screws
(1)
evenly and stop
when planetary turns about 60
revolutions per minute. To
test the speed, hold a finger
of
the right hand at the
planetary. Let beater shaft (35, Fig. 1) hit finger. Count the
number
of
times the finger
is
touched in 5
or
10
seconds.
Adjust
the
two screws until the shaft touches the finger once
every second or
60
revolutions per minute.

th
e two lock
nut
s

the
speed again.
If
a small correction

touch
your finger
15
times in 5 seconds.
If
it
touches
the
finger less than
that
,
turn
in the adjusting screw at
bottom
of
the
control plate. Check
the
revolutions again and keep
adjusting
the
screw at
the
bottom
until the right speed
is
reached. There
is
no need for locking this screw.
F. Try all speeds from
'*'
1
to
'*'
10.
If
'*'
1 and
'*'6
speeds are
properly adjusted,
the
other

correct.
If
there is a definite change in speed between
'*'8

the
control
unit
is correctly adjusted.
