Screw

The­ drill press main drive belts last a long time; however, during machine life, a belt may stretch slightly which can cause the pulleys to slip under a load. You will then need to adjust the motor-to-idler pulley belt tension to com- pensate for this normal stretching.

NOTE: The spindle-to-idler pulley belt automati-

 

cally adjusts to the correct tension when the

 

Push Rod

motor-to-idler pulley belt tension is adjusted.

To adjust the drive belt tension, do these

steps:

Belt Deflection gap

 

should be about

1. UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!

112"

 

2. Open the belt cover.

Figure 23. Measuring belt deflection.

 

3.Loosen the motor lock screw at the side of the headstock, as shown in Figure 22.

4.Gently pivot the motor away from the push rod rubber until the belt is tight.

5.Hold the motor in position so the rubber pad is held against the motor.

6.Tighten the lock screw, and make sure the belt deflection gap is correct when pinched together between the pulleys (see Figure

23).

If the gap between both inner sides of the belt is greater or less than 112", repeat Steps 3 through 6 until the deflection gap

is 112".
