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.
