Cleaning

Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning. We recommend products like SLIPIT®, G96® Gun Treatment, or Boeshield® T-9 (see Page 28 for more details).

V-Belts

V-belt removal and replacement involves remov- ing the V-belt, rolling it off of the pulleys, replacing it with a new belt, then retensioning it.

Consider replacing the stock belt with Power Twist V-belts (see Page 27) to reduce vibration and noise, and increase belt lifespan.

To adjust/replace the V-belt:

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!

2.Remove the rear access panel.

3.Using a 13mm wrench, loosen the motor bracket fasteners shown in Figure 49, raise the motor to remove the V-belt tension. It may help to use a 2x4 to lift the motor.

4.Remove the V-belt and replace it with a new one.

5.Lower the motor and adjust the V-belt ten- sion as needed so there is approximately 1⁄4" deflection when the V-belts are pushed with moderate pressure as shown in Figure 50.

Note: After the first 16 hours of belt life, retension the belts, as they will stretch and seat during this time.
