V-Belt Maintenance

With extended use, V-belts will stretch and may slip on the pulleys. When this happens, they need to be re-tensioned. If the V-belts are excessively worn, cracked, or damaged, they need to be replaced. Both processes require similar steps.

To re-tension/replace the V-belts:

1.DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

2.Raise the front guard up, and remove the inner blade guard to access the pivot arm assemblies and motors (see Figure 39).

Figure 39. Guards removed to access pivot arm

assemblies and motors.

The teeth of saw blades are sharp and can easily cut fingers and hands. Always wear heavy leath- er gloves when handling saw blades.

3.Use a 14mm wrench on the inner arbor nut (see Figure 40) and a 19mm wrench on the arbor bolt to remove the arbor bolt, arbor flange, and saw blade.

Note: The left saw blade has a left-hand arbor bolt—to remove it, turn it clockwise. The right saw blade has a normally threaded arbor bolt and is removed by turning counterclockwise.

4.Use a 10mm hex wrench to remove the two cap screws, lock washers, and the side blade guard (see Figure 41).
