The Martin comes with an internal built-in Speed Controller. It can also 

be used with our external Daedalus Speed Controller. Please note that 

the external Daedalus Speed Controller cannot be stored within the 

Martin Box.

Speed Controller

To use the Internal Speed Controller, you’ll need to ensure that the 

Internal/External Control Selection Switch

 is set to 

II

. Once this is 

selected, you’ll be able to use the 

Internal Direction Switch

 to change 

your flyer’s spin direction and the 

Internal Speed Dial

 to adjust your 

flyer’s speed.

Internal Direction Switch

I

 - Clockwise Z twist (commonly chosen for spinning singles)

- Neutral

II

 - Counterclockwise S twist (commonly used for plying)

When using the Internal Speed Controller, you will need to plug your 

power source into the outlet located externally on the Martin’s box, 

on the right-hand side.

When needing to stop your wheel, scroll your 

Internal Speed Dial 

to 

0

. If you are not going to resume spinning right away, you will want to 

position the 

Internal Direction Switch

 to 

Neutral (0)

.
