Note. The lowest speed pulley combination is furthest from the faceplate, i.e. smallest motor

pulley diameter to largest spindle pulley diameter.

Disconnect the machine from the mains supply

Locate the two cover plates at the end and at the rear of the headstock. Loosen the 'star

nuts' that secure the cover plates, see figs (A,B) lift, slide, turn...etc. them out of the way to

give you access to the belt. Using the 6mm Allen key supplied, loosen the clamping 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. (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. (Don't go mad, the belt does not need to be bar taut to

operate correctly). 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.
