Replacing the drive belt.
Drive belt adjusting bolt
Motor drive pulley Drive belt Flywheel shaft nut
To replace the belts you will have to remove the lower flywheel.
1. Loosen the motor clamp bolts and move the motor so that the tension is completely
removed from the drive belt. Remove the blade. Loosen the two hex nuts that hold the brake
to the bandsaw frame and slide it out of the way of the disc.
2. Remove the flywheel shaft nut that clamps the wheel axle (back of the bandsaw).
3. Pull the lower flywheel off the bandsaw. You may have to use a gear puller to remove the
lower wheel.
4. Replace the drive belt.
5. Refit the lower wheel and re-clamp with the flywheel shaft nut.
6. Tension the drive belt and tighten the motor clamping bolts.
Note. It is better to replace the drive belt early than to have a breakdown during an
important job.
Note. Take great care not to damage the bearings when taking the flywheel off and
reassembling.
Table Insert.
The table insert (throat plate) is made of aluminium
and is designed to reduce damage to the blade
should they come in contact. If the blade slot
becomes too wide or the insert becomes damaged
by the blade, it should be replaced. The
replacement insert will have to be fitted to the table
hole. The insert is provided with four jacking screws
that can be adjusted so that the insert is level with
the top of the table.
Throat plate jacking screws
Bearings.
All bearings are sealed for life and do not require any maintenance. If a bearing becomes
faulty, replace it.
