4.
Adjust motor back and forth until the V-
grooves line up with the three-step pulley.
Use a straight edge or plumb bob to check
pulley alignment. See Figure 5. If using a
plumb bob, ensure that the bandsaw is sit-
ting level.
Figure 5. Plumb bob indicates pulley alignment.
5.
Slip either the 32" or 34" belt over the motor
pulley and step pulley depending on desired
speed. For general woodworking, we recom-
mend setting the lower belt for the fastest
rate of speed. See Figure 6 for speeds.

Use a plumb bob to re-check pulley align-
ment as shown in Figure 5. Alignment
sequence is: 1) Adjust the band wheel pulley
(Part # 70) to the three-step pulley and, 2)
adjust the motor pulley to the three-step pul-
ley. Check for level.
7.
To tighten the belt from the three-step pulley
to the motor, loosen the nuts on each motor
adjustment bolt and lower the motor into
position. The weight of the motor is sufficient
for the amount of tension required. Lock the
motor into position by tightening the nuts
against the motor plate.

Figure 6. Diagram illustrates speed adjustment.
To align pulleys, there is a variety of adjustment.
For example:
1.
The band wheel pulley can be slid along the
shaft (Part # 63).
2.
The three-step pulley can be adjusted away
from the base by doubling up a washer.
3.
The motor pulley can be turned around and
repositioned on the motor shaft.
Remember, the motor should remain level after
any adjustments.
NOTICE
NOTE: You may have to back off the nuts on
the two motor adjusting bolts to allow
enough motor swing to attach the belt.
