Replacing Belts

To ensure optimal power transmission from the motor to the blades, the belts must be in good condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear) and operate under proper tension.

To change the main blade arbor V-belt:

1.DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

2.Move the blade tilt to 45°, lower the main blade all the way down, and remove the motor cabinet door.

3.Loosen the belt tension bolt (Figure 76) and pivot the motor up.

5.Remove the old V-belt set and replace them with a new V-belt set.

Note: The motor V-belts should always be replaced as a matched set to ensure maxi- mum belt longevity and power transmission.

6.Tighten the tension bolt until the belts deflect between a 1⁄4" and a 1⁄2" when pressed firmly in the center of each V-belt.

7.Replace the lower blade guard.

8.Close and secure the motor cabinet door.

Note: Re-tension the new V-belts after the initial 10 hours of use.
