ASSEMBLY

TO MOUNT MOTOR ASSEMBLY

See Figure 32.

Loosen the two hex head screws that lock the pins in the mounting brace.

Insert the two pins on the motor assembly into the holes in the mounting brace. Push in as far as it will go.

DO NOT tighten screws at this time.

TO INSTALL THE BELT GUARD

See Figure 33.

Locate the following parts:

1 belt guard

4 hex nuts, flanged (M5 x .8)

4 flat washers (M5.3 x 12 x 1)

Lower the blade and remove the belt.

Install a flat washer on each of the four motor studs.

Open the belt guard by pushing down on the tab lock.

Place the belt guard so that the large hole fits around the motor pulley. Insert the motor studs through the small holes of the belt guard.

Using a flanged hex nut, tighten securely.

TO INSTALL BELT

See Figure 34.

Lower the blade and set the bevel to 0˚.

Place belt on saw pulley and motor pulley. Sight along both pulleys checking that the belt is parallel to the edges of both pulleys.

NOTE: If not parallel, use a hex key to loosen the set screw on the motor pulley. Reposition the motor pulley and securely tighten the set screw when finished.

Place your hand around the belt halfway between the two pulleys and squeeze the belt until the two sides of the belt touch. The motor should move freely as you squeeze the belt. If the motor does not move freely, the motor must be repositioned.

To reposition the motor, loosen the hex nuts on the mounting brace and either push the motor in or pull it out as needed. Check at maximum elevation also.

NOTE: Do not attempt to tighten the pivot screw as it must move freely in the slot as the blade is raised or lowered.

Close the belt guard.

Check the belt clearances on the guard by raising the saw blade to full height using the blade height adjusting handwheel.

Check motor clearance by rotating the bevel adjusting handwheel until the indicator is set at 45˚.
