Note. The lowest speed pulley combination is furthest from the faceplate, i.e. smallest motor
pulley diameter to largest spindle pulley diameter.
Disconnect the machine from the mains supply
Locate the cover plate at the rear of the headstock. Loosen the ‘star nuts’ that secure the
cover plate, see fig (A) lift, slide, turn…etc. Release the locking handle to the side of switch
& speed control assembly, see (E) and swing the switch & speed control assembly to the
side. Now you have access to the belt, see (F).
REFURE TO AWSL FOR INSTRUCTION
ON CHANGING THE SPEED.
Replace/refit the cover plate. Swing the switch control assembly back and secure in place
with the locking handle. Reconnect the machine to the mains supply. Give the lathe a little
‘burst’ to check it all runs smoothly. When you are satisfied, remove any tools you may have
been using; stow carefully away. The lathe is now ready to be used again.
