DeWalt 37-360 instruction manual Outfeed Table Adjustments, Adjusting Belt Tension

OUTFEED TABLE

ADJUSTMENTS

For most jointing operations the outfeed table must be exactly level with the knives at their highest point of revolution. To move the outfeed table, loosen lock handle

(A) Fig. 30, and move the table raising and lowering hand lever

(B) up or down until the table is level with the knives.

It may be necessary to adjust the positive stops. Loosen the two locknuts (D) and (E) Fig. 31, and the two adjusting screws (F) and (G) when moving the table up or down.

When the table is exactly level with the knives at the highest point of revolution, tighten lock handle (A) Fig. 30, and turn adjusting screw (F) Fig. 31, until it bottoms; then tighten locknut (D). Screw (G) is also a positive stop for the lower limit of the outfeed table. We suggest that this stop also be tightened when the outfeed table is set level with the knives. This will prevent the outfeed table from accidently being lowered.

ADJUSTING BELT TENSION

The jointer is shipped with two V-belts assembled and properly tensioned to the cutterhead and motor pulley. If it becomes necessary to adjust belt tension, proceed as follows:
