Setting RPM

Setting the RPM on the Model M1001 involves placing the V-belts on the pulleys as shown in the spindle speed chart below.

To set the spindle speed, do these steps:

1.Examine the Spindle Speed Chart in Figure 24 to find the closest match to your needed RPM.

2.UNPLUG THE MILL!

3.Open the pulley cover.

4.Loosen the motor release lever and move the motor toward the spindle to loosen the tension on the V-belts.

5.Move the belts to the appropriate pulley combinations as shown on the spindle speed chart below.

6.Tension the V-belts by pulling the motor back and locking the motor release lever (see Figure 25).

7.Close the pulley cover and plug in the mill.
