Tilting the work table
1. The worktable can be tilted left or right by loosening the pivot bolt.
2. When returning the table to the level position, line up the register mark with the tilt

Changing spindle speeds

1. Switch machine off and unplug it.
2. Open the pulley cover. (Fig.6)
3. Undo the Belt Tension Locking Knob (Fig.8) to relieve any tension on the belt, and
referring to the chart, install the belt in the position corresponding to the spindle
speed required.
4. Lever the motor, on its bracket, away from the head, so that tension is applied to the
belt. Tension is correct, when the belt deflects by approx. ½" at its centre, when
using reasonable thumb pressure. Lock the motor in this position using the Locking
Knob.
