9.3 HEADSTOCK SELECTORS
Spindle speed selector (H1, H2, H3)
1. The sixteen available speeds are shown on the lever
- operated dial (H1) in four groups, each of which is
further divided into four displayed spindle speeds.
To select your speed, rotate the outer dial until the
desired speed aligns with its corresponding color on
the plate that is affixed to the machine. Then turn
inner dial until the same color of arrow aligns with the
desired speed.
Note: Do not select speeds while spindle is
rotating or clutch is engaged - apron control must
be central (disengaged) to avoid gear damage.
To free the spindle for hand rotation, set any one of the
blank spaces on the outer dial to the mid-point of the plate
that is affixed to machine (H2).
