speed range levers
When changing the spindle speed range,
the spindle direction will reverse. Always
know which way the spindle is spinning
before engaging the cutting tool with your
workpiece.
3.
Move the spindle speed range lever to the
desired range (see Figures 31–32).
Note: For the Model G9903, you must press
the speed range lever in toward the head-
stock to retract the locking pin and move it.
It may be necessary to rotate the spindle by
hand to ensure the speed range gears have
properly engaged.
