Makita Essential V-Belt Adjustment Techniques for Cordless Saws - DPC Models 7000, 7001, 9500, 9501

Tightening the V-Belt

IMPORTANT:

Exact V-belt tension is essential for maximum cutting per- formance with minimum fuel consumption. Improper V-belt tension will result in premature wear to the V-belt and V-belt wheel or damage to the clutch bearing.

Accurate adjustment of the V-belt tension requires the tension gauge shown in Fig. F. See under “Accessories” for the order number.

-To tighten the V-belt, turn the tightening screw (B/4) to the right (clockwise) with the Allen key (1/13) included with the Power Cut.

-Tighten the retaining nuts (K/1) with the assembly tool

-Push the hand guard (W10)towards the sprocket guard and tighten screw (K/14).
