V-Belt Tension; Truing The Fence - Grizzly G1026 Instruction Manual

V-Belt Tension

You should be able to deflect the belt
moderate finger pressure. This may seem tight
compared to most other V-Belts, but since the
belt is small and runs fast, this much tension is
necessary. The V-Belt will slip if too loose and
squeal or cause vibration if too tight. Adjust the
tension if necessary.
To adjust V-Belt tension:
1. DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER
SOURCE!
2.
Make sure the pulleys are properly aligned.
3.
Loosen the two motor mount plate bolts and
slide the motor left or right to modify the belt
tension. Keep the pulleys aligned.
4. Tighten the motor mount plate bolts, test the
tension, and check pulleys.
5. Repeat Steps 3-4 until tension is correct, and
pulleys are aligned.

Truing The Fence

To ensure that the fence is parallel with itself
⁄ " with

and square with the table:
1. Ensure that the bolts through the wood fac-
ing on each side are tight and adequately
countersunk.
2. To align the wood facing, adjust one or both
fence halves so they are in close alignment.
Micro-adjust and check the alignment with a
straightedge.
3.
If the wood fences are not coplanar with
each other,resurface as one unit. You can
perform this operation on a jointer.
Note: Make sure the screws are countersunk
deep enough so the workpiece will not come
in contact with the heads of the screws.
Or use electrical washers between the fence
and the fence bracket to shim the fence into
the correct position.
