To realign or replace the cutterhead belt, do these steps:
1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!
2.While facing the rear of the jointer, tip it away from you until it rests on the fence assembly.
3.Remove the screws that hold the motor cover to the jointer base. Lift the cover off and set it aside.
4.Inspect the cutterhead belt for proper tension, straight alignment, and possible damage or wear.
Note: The belt is properly tensioned if it deflects about 3⁄8" when you press down on middle of the belt with moderate pressure from your thumb or forefinger. The belt is properly aligned if it lies flat and straight on the motor shaft and drive pulley. Belt damage will be evident upon inspection.
5.Loosen the four motor mounting cap screws (see Figure 49), but do not remove them.
6.Replace a damaged belt with a new one. Realign and
7.Tighten the motor mounting screws and replace the motor cover.
8.Test run the jointer, as described on Page 18. If this procedure does not solve the problem, call Tech Support.
