Before changing the speeds, make sure the machine is switched OFF and UNPLUGGED.
Open the pulley cover.1.
Slacken off the Belt Tension Locking Screw to relieve any tension on the drive belt.2.
Consult the chart inside the pulley cover (or 3. Figure 5 on page 10) and position the belt on the pul-
leys according to the spindle/drill speed required
When the belts have been correctly positioned, tighten them by levering the motor away from the 4.
head until the belt deects by approximately 1/2” at its center when using reasonable thumb pres-
