V-Belt

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 a Power Twist V-belt (see Page 29, Figure 36) to reduce vibration and noise, and increase belt lifespan.

To adjust/replace the V-belt:

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!

2.Remove the rear access panel and V-belt guard.

3.Using a 17mm wrench, loosen the fasteners on the tension rod shown in Figure 68.
