Removing And Replacing The Belt; Maintenance; Warranty - DeWalt DW718 Instruction Manual

CAUTION: Continued use of a platform with several
kerfs may cause loss of material control and possible
injurjz.
Removing and Replacing Belt
The belt is designed to last the life of the tool. However,
abuse of the tool could cause the belt to fail.
If the blade does not turn when the motor is running, the
belt has failed. To inspect or replace the belt, remove the
belt cover screws. Remove the belt cover. Inspect the ribs
of the belt for wear or failure. Check belt tension by squeez-
ing the belt as shown in Figure 26. The belt halves should
almost touch when squeezing firmly with the thumb and
index finger. To adjust the tension, loosen, but do not
remove, the four Phillips head screws shown. Then rotate
the set screw on the top of the motor plate casting until the
proper tension is achieved. Tighten the four screws
securely and replace the belt cover.
NOTE: Over tightening the belt will cause premature motor
failure.
Maintenance
1. All bearings are sealed. They are lubricatedfor life and
need no further maintenance.
2. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around
AND UNDER the base and the rotary table. Even
though slots are provided to allow debris to pass
through, some dust will accumulate.
3. The brushes are designed to give you several years
of use. If they ever need replacement follow the
instructions on page 8 or return the tool to the nearest
service center for repair. Service center locations are
packed with your tool.
