SPEED ADJUSTMENTS (FIG. M TO P)
This lathe has five speeds (520, 900, 1400, 2150 and 3400 RPM) as
shown on the speed label (Fig. M). To change the speed:
1. Loosen the back cover knob (Fig. N - 1), then pull up and open the
back cover (Fig. N - 2) to access the spindle pulley.
2. Loosen the side cover knob (Fig. O - 1), pull up and open the side
cover (Fig. O - 2) to access the motor pulley.
3. Release the motor pulley locking handle (Fig. P - 1) and pull up on
the motor plate flange (Fig. P - 2) to loosen the tension on the drive
belt. Place the drive belt between the spindle pulley and motor pulley
as shown in Fig. M to achieve the desired speed setting.
NOTE: Always start at slower speeds for rough cuts and when work-
ing on larger workpieces. Use faster speeds for more refined cuts and
detailed work.
4. Re-tension the belt tension and lock the handle. Replace the back
cover and side cover.
