Tensioning &
Replacing Drive Belt
The drive belt stretches slightly as the grinder is
used. Most of the belt stretching will happen dur-
ing the first 16 hours of use, but it may continue
through continued use. If you notice the belt is
slipping, it will need to be tensioned. If the belt is
cracked, frayed, or shows other signs of excessive
wear, it will need to be replaced.
