Variable Disc Speed
The motor on this machine is a 750W DC brush type
unit, electronically controlled to give a disc speed
of between 1,000-3,000rpm. This means that you
can choose the disc speed that is right for the job,
whatever the material. Disc speed is maintained
electronically to compensate for work loads.
Manual Disc Brake
A manual disc brake is fi tted to allow the disc to be
stopped quickly if required. (see fi g 16)

NOTE: BE CAREFUL WHEN REMOVING

PLASTIC SPACERS BETWEEN THE DISC
