V-Belt

The V-Belt on the Model G0561 may have come installed and only need to be tensioned or reposi- tioned for your desired RPM. The following steps will take you through both processes.

To tension or change the V-belt position:

1.UNPLUG THE BANDSAW!

2.Loosen but do not remove the two hex bolts on the bottom of the motor mount (see Figure 13).

3.Adjust the two hex bolts on the outer edge of the motor mount to either loosen or tension the belt (see Figure 13).

4.Slip the V-belt over the combination of pulleys to get the desired RPM. Make sure the belt is on parallel sheaves. See the chart on the inside of the pulley cover for RPM choices.

5.Re-tension the belt. Apply enough tension so the belt deflects about 1⁄2" with moderate pressure when pinched together between the center of the pulleys.
