DRILL SPEED ADJUSTMENT

This machine is equipped with a mechanical vari-
able speed drive pulley system that allows the user to
change the spindle speed while the machine is in op-
eration.
This system is considered more efficient and conve-
nient than models that require a complete shut-down
and then a more complicated change of belts on a
multi-pulley system.
To change speeds the user simply turns on the ma-
chine and then turns the speed control lever in the ap-
propriate direction until the desired speed appears on
the digital speed display.
