Get the belt, belt guard, 4 flat washers (#10) and 4 small hex nuts (#10-24).

Lower the blade by turning the height handwheel.

Slip the belt on the saw pulley (inside cabinet). Lift the motor forward and place the belt on the motor pulley.

Check that the belt is straight and both pulleys are aligned. If not, adjust the motor on the motor support assembly. Refer to Mounting the Motor.

Raise the saw blade all the way up.

Pull the motor out until the belt is taut. Securely tighten the hex bolts above the rods with a 12 mm wrench.

Put your hand around the belt halfway between the two pulleys and squeeze the belt until both sides of the belt touch. The motor should move freely as you squeeze the belt. If it does not, loosen the hex bolts and readjust the belt tension.

Lower the blade with the height handwheel. Lift the motor forward and remove the belt.

Open the hinged belt guard and place it over the motor screws on the motor pulley. Secure with flat

washers and hex nuts. Securely tighten the hex nuts with a 8 mm wrench.

Replace the belt and snap the guard closed.

Check the clearances by indexing the blade. Turn the bevel handwheel to 45 ° and back. Use the

height handwheel to fully lower and raise the blade.
