Electrical controls 
Power on-off switch.  

The on / off switch activates or de activates the 
Electrical system including the motor. 
 

Electrical reset button. 

 

Should the electrical system become overloaded 
the internal breaker will trip. To reset, correct the 
reason for the overload and then reset the system 
by pressing the reset button.  

Spindle direction switch. 

The spindle direction switch has three positions. 
Forward, stop, reverse. 
When changing spindle direction, it  is very 
important that the switch is left in the stop [0] 
position until the spindle has come to a complete 
stop. 

If the switch is moved from forward to reverse 
while the spindle is rotating the electrical 
system will be strained and failure will occur. 

 

 

Speed control knob. 

The speed control knob is used to control the speed of the spindle.  

Note. Max torque is a setting of 50% or greater, lower than 25% will stress the 
electrical components and eventually cause failure.
