(see Fig. 2 on page 56) and replace the damaged one with
the new one.
When connecting the belt on pulleys, fi rst connect 2 or

and pulley (B). Then turning the pulley (A) and pulley (B),
connect all 13 teeth of the belt to the pulleys.

keep the power tool in good operating condition for a long
time (Fig. 1 on page 56 and Fig. 2 on page 56).
