Checking V-Belt

To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blade, the V-belt must be in good condition and operate under proper tension. The belt should be checked for cracks, fraying, and wear. Belt tension should be checked at least every 3 months—more often if the bandsaw is used daily.

To check the V-belt:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Open the lower wheel cover.

3.Note the condition of the V-belt. If the V-belt is cracked, frayed, or glazed; it should be replaced as soon as convenient.

4.Push the center of the V-belt. Note the amount of deflection (Figure 56). If deflec- tion is more than 3⁄4", re-tension the V-belt.

4.Rotate the motor to tension the V-belt, then tighten the motor adjustment screw.

5.Push the center of the V-belt. If deflection is approximately 3⁄4" with moderate pressure from your thumb or finger, then the tension is correct. If the deflection is more than 3⁄4", repeat Steps 3 & 4.

6.When the V-belt tension is correct, tighten the motor hinge screw and close the lower wheel cover.
