Speed Changes

The Model G3358 is capable of twelve different speed settings. Different types of cuts and materi- als require varying speeds. Refer to the chart in Figure 29 for appropriate cutting speeds.

To change spindle speeds:

1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2.Loosen the motor locking lever. Pull the motor inward to move the rear pulley toward the spindle (Figure 26).

3.Loosen the two idler pulley bolts that hold the idler pulley in place so the pulley can move freely (Figure 27).

4.Push the motor back to tighten the rear V-Belt, then tighten the motor locking lever.
