the pulley's maximum speed setting, it will be easier to remove the belt and the motor
pulley assembly.
ENSURE THAT THE DRILL PRESS IS TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE
POWER SOURCE BEFORE BEGINNING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR. FOLLOW
ALL SAFETY PROCEDURES LISTED IN YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL. USE COMMON
SENSE. AVOID INJURY.
