Changing the speed range by sliding the belt
The motor drives the spindle pulleys via 2 wide pulleys using a Poly-V belt. A slower spindle speed is
needed for work with larger diameters to maintain an ideal torque. This means that if you have turned a
spinning top for example and then want to turn a bowl with a diameter of 30 cm or more, the motor
output might be reduced under heavy use.
Therefore, a different speed must be selected.
Under the cover on the headstock, there are two pulleys.
Using these, you can choose between the two speed
ranges.
Disconnect the mains plug and only then open the cover
on the headstock. Then loosen the quick-release lever
on the motor flange. Using the chromium-plated
clamping lever (S, Fig. 53), pull the motor toward the
headstock. This loosens the tension in the Poly-V belt.
Now place the belt on the relevant pulleys on the motor
and spindle.

Combination:
Stage I for 180 -
3,700 rpm or Stage
II for 80 - 1,350
rpm (see Fig. 51).
Afterwards, using
the chromium-
plated clamping
lever, push the
motor in the
opposite direction
which retentions
the belt (Fig. 54).
Secure this position
with the quick-
release lever (Fig.
55) and close the
cover. Close the
toggle latch (V, see
Fig. 56) again.
