Cleaning

Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth—this
ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain
on bare metal surfaces. Treat all unpainted cast
iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after
cleaning. We recommend products like SLIPIT
G96 Gun Treatment, or Boeshield

V-Belts

V-belt removal and replacement involves remov-
ing the V-belt, rolling it off of the pulleys, replacing
it with a new belt, then retensioning it.
Consider replacing the stock belt with Power
Twist V-belts (see Page 27) to reduce vibration
and noise, and increase belt lifespan.
To adjust/replace the V-belt:
1.
DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER
SOURCE!
2.
Remove the rear access panel.
3.
Using a 13mm wrench, loosen the motor
bracket fasteners shown in Figure 49, raise
the motor to remove the V-belt tension. It may
help to use a 2x4 to lift the motor.

Note: DO NOT completely remove the motor
mount bolts.
Remove the V-belt and replace it with a new
one.
Lower the motor and adjust the V-belt ten-
sion as needed so there is approximately
deflection when the V-belts are pushed with
moderate pressure as shown in Figure 50.
Note: After the first 16 hours of belt life,
retension the belts, as they will stretch and
seat during this time.
