Grizzly G8030 instruction manual Adjustments, Adjusting the Belt

SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS

Adjusting the Belt

All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge (called “flashing”) on them after they are formed. This is removed at the factory. Sometimes, though, a bit of flashing might escape inspection. Please examine the edges of all die-cut metal parts before han- dling them. Serious injury may occur.

!	Disconnect power to the
	machine when perform-
	ing	any	maintenance,
	assembly		or	adjust-
	ments. Failure to do this
	may	result in		serious
	personal injury.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire adjustment process. Failure to com- ply may result in serious personal injury.

A slipping belt wastes power, causes control problems and wears the belt out prematurely. You should be able to deflect the belt 1⁄2" to 3⁄4" with moderate finger pressure. The belt will slip if too loose and squeal or cause vibration if too tight.

If the belt is too loose, or too tight:
