How do you adjust the speed? Do you have to take off the cover and adjust the belt, like on the Skil?

NO! It is with a lever on the left hand side. You pull it slowly toward you, and watch the speed #'s change as it changes internally. This is the best reason for buying the WEN. You do not want the other brands that require you to manually change belts.Chet

Yes,the belt and pullies are easy to get to. Changing the speeds is much easier than it sounds,don't let it stop you from getting a good dril..

There are two 10" drill presses. One is manually adajustable by changing pully grooves, the other is adjusted by a lever mounted on the outside of head case. Add $50 ($200) for the external adjustment. Well worth it if it holds up under use.

You can adjust two ways.. the control on the left increases the speed and you can adjust the belts... This drill is great at all speeds.. I love the rpm adjustment...

on right side just in front of motor turn knob counter clockwise to loosen tension on pulleys. put belt in proper place for speed desired, push motor to tighten belt while tightening the knob.

2 speeds. no adjustment. you can vary the speed by moving the machine closer or away from the batter.

no, cover doesnt stay on without the belt, so you really cant use it seperatly. picture makes it look like belt is adjustable, but its not

It seems to go faster when the object on it is heavier, but no, you cannot adjust the speed. But I absolutely love it! I cannot say often enough just how great I think this gadget is.

The little roller button on the side controls the speed on the on I have. Just slowly roll it up and down.

That's it. Screw down the nut, but not real tight when you are done adjusting it. First time taking the cover off, unscrew the nut and pull straight up.

You can adjust by one tenth of a mile per hour per click on a button manually, or use the preset workouts/ Incline works the same way, I love mine, its great

once you have it set, pivot is tightened with a bolt (wrench provided), you make it as tight as you want. Sloppy to no movement. I have mine set to very hard to move so I can still adjust it some without loosening bolt. To raise or lower some (minor adjustment) there is a screw at top, and the left right slider bar is with a knob but still no movement if wanted

I am in the same dilemma...I took off the beater bar, but the motor shaft goes all the way to the other side, and there is no gap to take the belt on or off...help!

The speed cannot be adjusted. The switch provided is cheaply made! Sometimes the unit will not turn off when you switch to the off position.

When it stops sliding, pull the cover straight out. It only slides a little, then you have to pull it out. Hope this helps......Jim

My friend borrowed mine for his dog, and tightened the bolt that the wheel swivels on. Its under the plastic cover---------- worked fine and he could jog with his dog in it up and down hills. for my dog we never went that fast. hope that helps.

This is one of the main reasons why I sent mine back. There is a way to tighten and loosen the belt by using the included tool, but that has a chance at making it slip and slide even more.

Hi. If the machine is on, you have to press one button (Start) to start the belt moving. You press another button to build up to the desired speed. I walk at a speed of 1.7 mi/h and it takes about 6 seconds from the moment you turn it on to the moment it reaches that speed.

Doesn't look much different in the pictures. Maybe an were model? I don't recall this being available when I bought my speed2. I did try on the belts at a running store to check the fit before buying, maybe they would have the 2 models to compare.

This was a purchase I made on my account for my dad, so I don't really know much about the tool. Here is the word-for-word info that is written in the instruction manual though: (I wish I could include the pictures, but I don't know if/how I can post them?) TO ADJUST THE FASTENER DEPTH CONTROL: Warning: Disconnect tool from air supply before attempting any parts disassembly and before changing the work contacting element adjustment. 1) Loosen screw with 4mm hex key. *My own little note here: You'll need your own hex key, and the screw is right underneath the nose piece.)* 2) Move sliding shoe down (away from nose) to decrease the drive depth, or up (toward the nose) to increase the drive depth. *My side note: The shoe is the long, skinny, rectangle shaped gizmo. You probably know that though...) * 3) Tighten screw with 4mm hex key. Hope I helped. Like I said, I wish I could include the pictures, but I don't know if or how you can on these replies?

I did not install a drive belt, but the mower belly belt which was a piece of cake. The drive belt looks to be a bit harder.
