Installing Belt; Installing Belt Guard - RIDGID TS3612 Owner's Manual

Assembly (continued)

Installing Belt

1. Locate the motor belt
2. Lower the blade all the way down and
set bevel to 0°.
3. Install belt on saw pulley and motor pul-
ley.
4. Sight along edges of both pulleys check
that the belt is parallel to the edges of
both pulleys. If not, use a Hex "L"
wrench to loosen the setscrew on the
motor pulley. Reposition the motor pul-
ley and securely tighten the set screw
on the motor pulley.
5. Raise saw blade all the way up.
6. Lift motor until edge of washer (see
illustration) is even with end of slot in
motor support assembly. In this posi-
tion, pull motor toward you (pins will
slide in the cradle) until slack is
removed from belt. Make sure edge of
washer is still even with end of slot.
Using a 1/2 inch wrench tighten the two
motor support assembly clamp screws.
7. Put your hand around the belt half way
between the two pulleys and squeeze
belt until two sides of belt touch. The
motor should move freely as you
squeeze the belt. If motor does not
move freely, the motor must be reposi-
tioned as described above.
Do not attempt to tighten the pivot
screw. It must slide freely in slot as the
blade is raised and lowered.
