Belt Service

The drive belt stretches slightly with normal use of the saw. Most of the stretching will happen during the first 16 hours of use, but it continues with time. If you notice that the belt is slipping, it will need to be tensioned. If the belt is cracked, frayed, or shows other signs of excessive wear, it will need to be replaced.
