Changing The Spindle Speed - Axminster AW240WL Originalanleitung

DISCONNECT THE MACHINE
FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY!
Note. The lowest speed pulley combination is
furthest from the faceplate, i.e. smallest motor
pulley diameter to largest spindle pulley
diameter.
1. Loosen the 'star knobs' that secure the access
plates on the headstock assembly, see figs A-B. Slide
them out of the way to give you access to the belt.
2. Using the Hex key supplied, loosen the clamping
Hex bolt behind the shaped handle of the motor
plate, see fig C. You may need to slightly loosen the
pivot bolt on the other side of the motor plate as
well. Lift the motor plate up to give enough slack
in the belt to enable it to be moved to the new
selection. When the belt is located, turn the spindle
to ensure the belt is correctly seated.
3. Check that the belt is vertical, the belt must not
be run out of vertical alignment, this can cause
the belt to 'jump' the pulley grooves, possibly the
wrong way, and if it does manage to run, it will scuff
the sides of the belt badly. When you are sure all is
correct, press down on the motor plate handle to
put tension on the belt.
4. Tighten up the clamping bolt to hold the
motorplate in position. Replace/refit the cover
plates. Reconnect the machine to the mains supply.
Give the lathe a little 'burst' to check it all runs
smoothly. When you are satisfied, remove any tools
you may have been using; stow carefully away.
The lathe is now ready to be used again.
