MAINTENANCE
Removing and Replacing Belt
The belt is designed to last the life of the tool. However, abuse of the tool could cause the belt to fail. If the blade does not turn when the motor is running, the belt has failed. To inspect or replace the belt, follow these directions:
1.Remove the belt cover screw.
2.Remove the belt cover. Inspect the ribs of the belt for wear or failure. Check belt tension by squeezing the belt as shown in figure 37. The belt should contact the center boss when it is squeezed firmly with the thumb and index finger.
3.To adjust the tension, loosen, but do not remove, the four screws shown (figure 37). Rotate the set screw on the top of the motor plate casting until the proper tension is achieved. Tighten the six screws securely and replace the belt cover.
NOTE: Overtightening the belt will cause premature motor failure.
•All bearings are sealed ball bearings. They are lubricated for life and need no further maintenance. Do not use WD- 40 or any other lubricant.
•Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around the area of the saw. Even though slots are provided to allow debris to pass through, some dust will accumulate.
