Replacing Belt
1. Disconnect and lockout power to the saw!
2. Raise the motor all the way up, tilt it to 0°.
3. Open the motor cover.
4. Loosen the four motor mounting hex nuts (A)
two turns, and place the 2x6 block between the
cabinet and bottom of the motor.
5. Lower the arbor assembly until the motor rests
on the wood block. Then turn the handwheel an
additional turn in the same direction to reduce
tension on the belt.
Note: Be careful not to lower the motor too far or the board may damage the
capacitor covers. Also, do not force the arbor down farther when it becomes difficult to move the
handwheel.
6. Tighten the motor mounting nuts to hold the
motor in place.
7. Raise the motor all the way up and remove the
wood block.
8. Roll the belt off the upper and lower pulleys.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
Note: To make belt removal easier,
turn the belt sideways and slide it down and past the back of the motor pulley.
9. Turn the new belt sideways and slip it over the
motor pulley so it engages one or two grooves.
10. Push the belt inward and roll it onto the top
pulley. Continue pushing the belt and rotating it
up and down until it is centered on both pulleys.
11. Follow Steps 2-7 in "tensioning Belt" to tension
the belt.
