SPEED CONTROL OPERATION The variable speed control contains the electrical connections to the motor and has three external controls - ON/OFF switch (E), Speed Control Knob (F), and the Circuit Breaker reset button (G). See Figure 6, below. ON/OFF Switch (controls electrical power to the Lathe's motor) WARNING! Always set the Speed Control Knob (F) to its lowest (counterclockwise) setting before starting the Lathe. Never start a workpiece at maximum speed. There is a 1 to 3 second delay in motor activation when starting. 1. Move the Switch (E) to the ON position to start the motor. The Lathe will begin turning and driving the Headstock Spindle (B). Please note: A special "soft start" safety feature does not allow the Lathe to reach full speed until 1 to 3 seconds after activation. The time it takes the motor to reach the speed set by the Speed Control Knob (F) depends on the size and weight of the workpiece. Figure 6 E F Key G 2. Move the Switch (E) to the OFF position to stop the Lathe. Please note: The Spindle and workpiece will continue to spin until the motor stops. CAUTION: Never leave the Lathe unattended until it has come to a complete stop. 3. The Switch Key can be pulled out of the Power Switch (E) when it is in the OFF position. With the Key removed, the Switch (E) is locked in that position and Lathe cannot be started. Always store the Key in a safe place whenever the Lathe is left idle.
