5. Push motor cord and strain relief plate
through the opening to the outside of the
stand, as shown in Figure 16. Fasten the
strain relief plate to the stand with two
M5x12 pan head s c r ews (HP3-G) .
6. Connect the plugs of the switch cord and
motor cord (Figure 16). Do not connect
machine to power source during
assembly.
Installing Drive Belt
Refer to Figures 17 through 20.
1. The motor and wheel pulleys have been
accurately aligned with each other by the
manufacturer. However, the user may wish
to verify this setting in case misalignment
has occurred during transit. Misaligned
pulleys can produce excessive wear on
drive belt s.
2. If the pulleys do not lie in a straight plane
(Figure 17), loosen the set screw on one of
the pul l eys and shif t t he pull ey in or out unt il
both pulleys lie in a straight plane. Tighten
set screw.
3. Open the lower door, and loosen the four
hex nuts on the motor plate an equal
am ount, with a 1/ 2” wrench ( see Fi gure 18).
Lift up on the m otor to provide slack for the
drive belt inst allation.
4. Install the belt around the motor pulley and
the wheel pulley.
5. Tension the drive belt by pushing down on
the motor. You may have to push down
harder on the pulley end of the motor to
ov ercom e the pressure of the driv e belt and
keep t he motor pulley aligned with the wheel
pulle y.
6. Tight en the four hex nuts on the m otor plate.
NOTE: The belt is properly tensioned when
finger pressure between the two pulleys
causes ap pr oximat ely 1/2” deflection (Figure
19).
7. Screw the two pulley cover knobs (HP3-D)
into the threaded holes in the back of the
saw, a s shown in F igur e 20. Sli de t he pull ey
cover down ov er the knobs, and tighten the
