Setting G0796 Spindle Speed
The Model G0796 has eight spindle speeds—four
in low motor speed and four in high motor speed.
Setting the spindle speed involves: 1) Selecting
the spindle speed range, 2) positioning the V-belt,
and 3) setting the spindle switch.
To set Model G0796 spindle speed:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Use chart below or spindle speed chart on
headstock to find appropriate spindle speed
for your operation (see Figure 33).
3. Pull spindle speed range selector knob (see

range, then release knob to seat knob pin in
detent.
Note: If it is difficult to move range selector
knob, rotate spindle by hand to help mesh
gears until selector moves freely.
