V-Belt Replacement
The Model W1829 uses two belts to drive the cutterhead
and the dust collection impeller. When these belts are not
tensioned correctly, misaligned, or damaged, your jointer
will not function properly.
The part number for the replacement drive belt is
X1829070; the part number for the replacement fan belt
is X1829092.
Refer to the parts diagram in this manual when fixing
belt problems. If you need further assistance, call

To realign or replace the cutterhead belt, do these
steps:
1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!
2. While facing the rear of the jointer, tip it away from
you until it rests on the fence assembly.
3. Remove the screws that hold the motor cover to the
jointer base. Lift the cover off and set it aside.
4. Inspect the cutterhead belt for proper tension,
straight alignment, and possible damage or wear.
Note: The belt is properly tensioned if it deflects
about 3⁄8" when you press down on middle of the
belt with moderate pressure from your thumb or
forefinger. The belt is properly aligned if it lies flat
and straight on the motor shaft and drive pulley.
Belt damage will be evident upon inspection.
5. Loosen the four motor mounting cap screws (see
Figure 49), but do not remove them.
6. Replace a damaged belt with a new one. Realign and
re-tension the belt.
7. Tighten the motor mounting screws and replace the
motor cover.
8. Test run the jointer, as described on Page 18. If this
procedure does not solve the problem, call Tech
Support.
Note: The fan belt is installed without releasing
motor tension. Simply slide the old belt off. Slide
the new belt on and replace the motor cover. Figure 49. Motor mounting screws and
belt locations.
