Setting Model G0748 Spindle Speed

The Model G0748 has variable spindle speeds from 60 to 4200 RPM. Setting the spindle speed involves 1) Selecting the spindle speed range, and 2) using the variable-speed handwheel to select the spindle speed.

To set the Model G0748 spindle speed:

1.Make sure the spindle is completely stopped.

2.pull the spindle speed range selector knob (see Figure 32) out, position the selector in the high or low position, then release the knob to seat the knob pin in the detent.

Note: If it is difficult to move the range selec- tor, rotate the spindle by hand to help mesh the gears until the selector moves freely.

3.Use the spindle switch to start spindle rota- tion.

For the Model G0748 ONLY, always make sure that the spindle rotation has started and is at a constant speed before using the variable-speed handwheel to adjust the spindle speed. Otherwise, the moving parts inside the belt housing could be damaged and void the warranty.

4.Slowly rotate the speed handwheel shown in Figure 33 until the desired speed is dis- played in the speed indicator window for the speed range selected.
