To change spindle speed, rotate variable-speed dial
clockwise to increase spindle RPM or counterclockwise to
decrease spindle RPM (see
Figure 18). The current spindle
RPM is displayed on the digital readout.
Note:
Make it a habit to always rotate variable-speed dial
completely counterclockwise when stopping the lathe. This
will prevent unexpected rotational speeds or surprises the
next time the lathe is started.
