Jack,

Of course the graphic is upside down, my 'A' lever (and everyone else) is top, not bottom. I wonder if 'B' and 'C' levers are switched left to right. Guess I'll have to play with it when I get the RPC running in a week or two.

I have mine right in front of me and it's still difficult to figure out. I played with it tonight some. You have to put one of the gears in "neutral" for each speed setting. There is a lockout knob of some sort between my B & C knobs that keeps them from going into certain positions unless the other knob is just right. It's amazing how slow you can get to table to run. I tried it a bit tonight on some aluminum and the finish was amazing.
