V-Belt

Before you put on the V-belt, make sure that the motor pulley and the upper pulley are reasonably aligned. To do this, loosen the setscrew on the motor pulley, adjust the motor pulley so it is in-line with the upper pulley, then tighten the setscrew.

To put on the V-belt:

1.Loosen the (4) motor mount bolts.

2.Raise the motor up and fit the V-belt in the pulley grooves, then let the motor down.

3.Place slight pressure on the motor to tension the belt and tighten the (4) motor mount bolts.

4.Check for approximately 1⁄4" deflection. If the belt is not tensioned right, repeat steps 1 and 3 until it is correct.

3.Slide all four rollers on the sliding rails, so the table can move back and forth.

4.With the thumbscrews provided, attach the force plate underneath the open end of the table as shown in Figure 20.

Table

To install the table on the bandsaw unit:

1.Identify the four rollers mounted on the underside of the table. These have grooves in the center that fit on the outside of the slid- ing rails.

2.Look down the underside of the table as shown in Figure 19 so you can line up the grooves in the rollers with the outside edges of the sliding rails. As you slide the table on the rollers, make sure the blade fits through the slot in the table.
