Electronic Variable Speed Control
Use the speed control knob (A) to vary the speed
within that range. As you face the lathe, turn knob
forwards (towards you) to increase speed, turn it
backwards (or away from you) to decrease speed.
Warning: Always set the speed control knob to its
lowest setting before starting the lathe. Never
start a workpiece at maximum speed.
To reposition the belt and change spindle speed
range
1. Turn off and unplug the lathe from the power
source.
2. To access the belt and pulleys, lift up the belt
guard.
3. Release the belt tension locking lever (B) then
release the tension on the belt by pulling the
belt tension release lever (C).
4. Set the belt by hand to the required pulley
position (High/Medium/Low). Be certain that
the belt is tracking straight between the pullies.
5. Push the belt tension release lever forward to
re-tension the belt and lock the belt tension
locking lever.
6. To verify the belt positioning and ensure the belt
will run smooth on the pulleys; rotate the fly
wheel by hand to turn the spindle while observing
the belt movement. If the belt moves smoothly
closed the belt guard. If the belt wobbles between
the pulleys repeat steps 3-5 as needed.
