1. Open the pulley and belt cover (1). |
|
|
| ||
2. Loosen the belt tension lock knobs (2) on both sides | 4 | 1/2" | |||
| of the drill press. |

| |
Note: The belt (4) should be tight enough to prevent |
| 3 | |||
slippage. Correct tension is set if the belt flexes about | FIG. 15 | ||||
1/2" when thumb pressure is applied at the midpoint of |
|
| |||
the belt between the pulleys. |
|
|
| ||
| Align the belt pulleys (Fig. 15) |
