Replacing V-Belt - Grizzly G0456 Owner's Manual

Replacing V-Belt

A loose or damaged V-belt will not adequately
transfer power from the motor to the spindle. This
procedure takes approximately 30 minutes to
complete and requires you to remove and discard
the sandpaper disc if it is installed. If you need
help locating any parts of the machine, refer to the
parts breakdown.
