Brake Pedal

Depress the brake pedal (A, Fig. 20) while the saw is running to stop the saw. Re-start the saw by pressing the on switch.

Replacing Belt

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2.Release blade tension by turning blade tension hand wheel clockwise.

3.Release belt tension by loosening the hex cap bolt (B, Fig. 20). Raise the motor and place a block of wood under the motor to take the tension off the belt.

4.Open the lower wheel door and remove hex nut, and washer (C, Fig.21).

5.If the lower wheel does not come off easily you may need to use a pulley puller (D, Fig. 22) to remove the lower wheel.

6.Remove the old belt (E, Fig. 22) and replace the belt.

7.Reinstall the lower wheel and tighten the hex nut.

8.Set the blade tension. See “Adjusting Blade Tension” on the previous page.

9.Remove the wood block, or support from below the motor and adjust the belt tension. See “Adjusting the Belt Tension.”

10.Check the blade tracking. See “Adjusting Blade Tracking” on the previous page.

Adjusting Belt Tension

The belt comes adjusted from the factory. If adjustment is needed:

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2.Set the belt tension by lightly pressing down on the motor and tightening the hex cap screw (B, Fig. 20).

3.The weight of the motor should put enough tension on the belt. You just want to push down lightly to take up any slack.
