Opening the Clamping Chuck
Controlling the Speed and Direction of Rotation
Each tool or burr used has an optimal speed of operation, larger abrasives should be run at
slower speeds and smaller cutters should be run at higher speeds. The operator must
match the display speed with the recommended speed for each tool.
1.
Always start the machine at the slowest speed, 7000rpm.
2.
Increase the speed of rotation by pressing the appropriate button (4) until the
desired speed is achieved.
3.
Direction of rotation can easily be changed by pressing the directional button (6).
When the LED light (7) is on then the tool is running in reverse (counterclockwise).
4.
Before stopping the machine to change a tool, decrease the speed back to 7000rpm.
Optional Foot Switch (Art. 0970)
Only use the original HADEWE foot switch, to avoid any damage to the equipment.
1.
Insert the plug of the foot switch into the socket on the right side of the machine (10).
2.
Press and hold the foot switch for 3 seconds to start/stop the unit.
3.
Press the foot switch briefly to change speeds, alternating between 13,000 and
40,000rpm.
