Tensioning.&.Replacing.
The drive belt stretches as the lathe is used. Most of
the stretching will occur during the first 16 hours, but
may continue with further use. If the lathe loses power
while making a cut, the belt may be slipping and need
tensioning. If the belt shows signs of excessive wear, or
damage, replace it.
