W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw

Replacing V-Belts

The V-belts are tensioned by pivoting the motor up or down. The slotted holes in the motor mount bracket (Figure 76) allow the motor to pivot in the hinge holes.

To replace the V-belts, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER SOURCE!

2.Loosen the motor mount bolts.

3.Pivot the motor up so the belts loosen, then remove them from the pulleys.

4.Install a matching set of new V-belts.

5.Pivot the motor down to tighten the belts, and hold downward pressure on the motor with one hand and tighten the motor mount bolts with the other hand.

6.Check the belt tension by pushing (with moderate pressure) one of the belts between the pulleys, as shown in Figure 77. The correct deflection range is between 14" and 12".

Note: V-belts only need to be tight enough so they don't slip when the motor is at full load. Extremely tight V-belts will cause the motor and pulley bear- ings to wear faster.

Adjusting Fence

The adjustment set screws shown in Figure 78 allow you to pivot the fence left or right to make it parallel with the blade. The fence must be parallel to the blade or slightly (no more than 132" from front to back) angled away from the blade at the rear of the fence so the workpiece will not bind between the fence and blade during the cut.

If your workpiece binds as you make your cuts, the risk of serious personal injury from kickback increases dra- matically. Signs that the workpiece is binding include burn marks on the workpiece and difficulty feeding the workpiece completely through the cut.

The basic procedure for adjusting the fence is to tighten one side and loosen the other side in equal increments. The side that is loosened is the side that the fence will move toward. For full instructions on adjusting the fence, refer to the Owner's Manual included with the fence.
