Press the spindle speed range lever shown
in Figure 34 toward the head to release
the detent pin from the detent plate, move
selector so that the pin is over the other
detent, then release the selector.

range is selected. Conversely, when the
lever is pointing toward the front and the
rear detent is engaged, the high speed
range is selected.

Setting Spindle Speed
Use the spindle speed dial and display (see
