If the V-belt may require periodic tightening, espe- cially after the initial break-in period. The V-belt needs to be replaced if it shows any signs of glazing, cracking, or fraying. To tighten the belt, perform the following procedure, omitting Step 4.

To replace the V-belt:

1.UNPLUG THE BANDSAW!

2.Open the belt cover.

3.With one hand, support the weight of the motor. With the other hand, loosen the hex bolt shown in Figure 54. The motor will drop and the V-belt will slacken.

—Check the belt tension. When properly ten- sioned, the belt will deflect approximately 1⁄4", as shown in Figure 55, when pressed with moderate force. Adjust as necessary.
