CHANGING SPEEDS AND ADJUSTING BELT TENSION
The tool is supplied with a 2-step motor pulley and a 2-step spindle pulley that provide spindle speeds of 7,000 and 10,000
RPM. With the belt on the largest step of the motor pulley and the smallest step of the spindle pulley, the spindle speed will be
10,000 RPM. With the belt on the smallest step of the motor pulley and the largest step of the spindle pulley, the spindle speed
will be 7,000 RPM.
A chart (Y) Fig. 26 that illustrates the correct belt placement for 7,000 or 10,000 RPM is located on the inside panel of the motor
access door.
To change speeds and adjust belt tension:
1.
Disconnect tool from power source.
2.
Open motor access door (Y) Fig. 26.
3.
Loosen the thumb screw (A) Fig. 27. Release tension on the belt by moving the lever (B) to the left. Position the belt (C) on
the desired steps of the spindle pulley (D) and the motor pulley (E), and apply belt tension by moving the lever (B) to the right.
When the desired belt tension is attained, tighten the thumb screw (A).
4.
Proper belt tension is approximately a 3/32" deflection when using light finger pressure on the belt between pulleys.
IMPORTANT: Pulleys (D) and (E) Fig. 27 should always be aligned with each other to provide maximum belt performance and reduce
belt wear. To check pulley alignment, refer to section "REPLACING SPINDLE CARTRIDGE".
REVERSING SPINDLE ROTATION
Caution: Disconnect tool from power source.
The motor is equipped with a reversing switch (X) Fig. 26, located on the motor junction box.
CAUTION: Never attempt to reverse the rotation of the spindle with the motor running.
The following examples show set-up and operational procedures when using the fence, collars, and starting pin. Please review
this information carefully before turning on the power to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the machine.
SHAPING WHEN USING THE
FENCE AS A GUIDE
Using the fence is the safest and most satisfactory method
of shaping. Most straight work can be shaped using the
fence described below.
1.
For average work, where a portion of the original edge
of the work is not touched by the cutter, both the front and
rear fences are in a straight line (Fig. 28).
2.
When the shaping operation removes the entire edge of
the work (jointing or making a full bead), the shaped edge
will not be supported by the rear fence when both fences are
in line (Fig. 29). In this case, the work should be advanced to
the position shown in Fig. 29 and stopped.
