ADJUSTMENTS Belt Tension

ADJUSTMENTS

During­ the life of your drill press you will use differ- ent belt and pulley combinations. No matter which pulley combination you use, make sure that the belt is tensioned properly

UNPLUG the drill press before any assembly, adjustment, maintenance, or belt changing proce- dures. Otherwise serious personal injury may occur!

To adjust the drive belt tension, do these steps:

1.UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!

2.Open the belt safety cover (see Figure 19).

3.Loosen both motor lock knobs at the side of the headstock (see Figure ).

4.Slide the motor away from the headstock until the belt is taut.

5.Hold the motor in position, and tighten the lock screw, and make sure the belt deflec- tion gap is correct when pinched together between the pulleys (see Figure 21).

If the gap between both inner sides of the belt is greater or less than 34" repeat Steps 3-5until the deflection gap is 34".

If the deflection gap is 34" the belt is ten- sioned correctly.

6.Close the belt safety cover.
