Changing Spindle Speed - Grizzly T33903 Owner's Manual

Changing
Spindle Speed
The spindle has twelve speeds that operate
between 210–3020 RPM. Spindle speed is con-
trolled by the configuration of V-belts and pulleys
located inside the belt cover (refer to the speed
chart located under the belt cover).
Use care when changing V-belts as they
could pinch your fingers. They may also
get hot after extended use so wait to
change speeds if drill has been in use.
