The cutting speed shall always exceed 40 m/s to lessen kickback risk but shall never exceed 70 m/s to lessen
the risk of tool damage.
To change the speed and adjust the proper belt tension, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect machine from the power source.
2. Open the door guard.
《
NOTE
》
A limit switch is provided which prevents the machine from being turned on when the cabinet door
is in the open position. (CE)
《
CAUTION
》
The normal stop (B) Fig. 3.1, should not be replaced by this above-mentioned limit switch
inside the door guard.
3. Move belt tension lever (A) Fig. 3.5, to the right as
shown, to loosen belt tension. The belt (B) can then
be moved to the desired steps of the motor pulley
(C) and spindle pulley (D), while at the same time,
rotate knob (A) Fig. 3.5.1 to slide speed bar (B) up
or down so that the belt will be positioned in the
cut-out in speed bar if this device is available on
your machine.

4.
After the belt (B) Fig.3.6, is positioned on the
desired steps of the motor pulley (C) and spindle
pulley (D), move tension lever (A) to the left to
apply belt tension as shown.
5. Close the door guard.
Fig.3.5.1
During the first work phase, the belt will settle and thus a
reduction of the tension. Turn the two nuts (E&F) Fig.3.6,
to obtain the best tension of the belt.
Tension is checked by pressing the center of the belt span
with a force of 3kg; tension is correct when a 5mm
deflection is observed.
