BELT TENSION & REPLACEMENT
The belt stretches slightly as the saw is used. Most of the stretching will happen during the first
16 hours of use. The belt will continue to gradually stretch with continued use and repeated
tensioning.
Tensioning Belt
1. Disconnect and lockout power to the saw!
2. Use the blade height handwheel to lower the
motor all the way down.
3. Loosen the four motor mounting hex nuts (A)
two turns
4. Place the 4x4 wood block on top of the motor
between the motor and the cabinet frame.
5. Use the blade height handwheel to carefully
tension the belt by moving the blade up. Do
this slowly and take care not to apply too
much pressure to the belt.
Note: Be careful not to damage the motor, and do
not force it up farther when it becomes difficult to move the
handwheel.
6. Press the belt in the center to check belt tension. The belt is
correctly tensioned when there is approximately 1/8”
deflection when it is pushed with moderate pressure.
If there is more than 1/8” deflection when the belt is pushed
with moderate pressure, raise the motor upward.
Note: Do not over tighten the belt. This will decrease the lifespan of the motor and
arbor bearings.
7. Tighten the motor mounting hex nuts, lower the motor, and remove the wood block.
8. Close the motor cover.
