ASSEMBLY
TO INSTALL BELT
See Figures 25- 26.
• Open the motor cover.
• Lower the blade and set the bevel to 45°.
• Place belt on saw pulley, lift the motor, then place belt
on motor pulley checking that the belt is parallel to the
edges of both pulleys.
NOTE:
If not parallel, and use a hex key to loosen the set
screw on the motor pulley. Reposition the motor pulley
and securely tighten the set screw when finished.
• Place your hand around the belt halfway between the two
pulleys and squeeze the belt until the two sides of the belt
touch. The motor should move freely as you squeeze the
belt. If the motor does not move freely, the motor must
be repositioned.
• To reposition the motor, loosen the hex nuts on the
mounting brace and either push the motor in or pull it
out as needed. Check at maximum elevation also.
NOTE:
Do not attempt to tighten the pivot screw as it
must move freely in the slot as the blade is raised or
lowered.
• Close and lock motor cover.
• Check the belt clearances on the guard by raising
the saw blade to full height using the height adjusting
handwheel.
• Check motor clearance by rotating the bevel adjusting
handwheel until the indicator is set at 45°.
