V-Belts Pulley Alignment

Inspect the V-belts closely; if you notice fraying, cracking, glazing, or any other damage, replace the belts. A worn or damaged V-belt will not pro- vide optimum power transmission from the motor to the drum and feed belt.

V-belt removal and replacement is simply a mat- ter of loosening the V-belts, rolling them off of the pulleys, replacing them with new belts, then retensioning them.

To replace the V-belts:

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!

2.Open the pulley cover.

3.Loosen the fasteners on the tension rod that hold the motor to the bracket (Figure 61).

4.Lift the motor up and slide the V-belts off of the motor pulley and cutterhead pulley.

5.Slide the new belts onto the pulleys, tighten the motor bracket fasteners, and close the pulley cover.

G0609 12" Parallelogram Jointer

Pulley alignment is another important factor in power transmission and belt life. The pulleys should be parallel to each other and in the same plane (coplaner) for optimum performance.

Each pulley can be adjusted by loosening the motor mount fasteners, sliding the motor in or out, and retightening the fasteners to lock the motor pulley in place.

To align the pulleys:

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!

2.Open the pulley cover.

3.Visually check the alignment of the two pul- leys to make sure that they are aligned and that the V-belts are straight up and down (see Figure 62).
