On-off switch.
The on-off switch activates or deactivates the motor.
The switch is provided with a safety pull-out. With
the yellow pull-out removed, the switch is
deactivated.
Variable speed.
The lathe has a variable speed system that utilizes
two variable diameter pulleys. By changing the
diameter of the motor and spindle pulleys, the speed of the lathe spindle
changes. The lever located on the head stock adjusts the spindle pulley, and
the motor pulley adjusts automatically under the action of the drive V belt,
and a spring. Because the spring on the motor drive pulley adjusts to suit the
position of the drive V belt there is no need to adjust the belt tension.
