Tensioning the Drive Belts
There is a spring loaded idler arm assembly
that maintains a constant tension on the belt.
However, if the idler is unable to provide
proper tension, use the following procedure to
add increased tension to the belt:
1. Loosen the four motor mount adapter nuts
underneath the frame.

2. Disconnect the idler arm spring from the
idler arm.
3. Manually push the motor toward the rear of
the saw. This will add additional tension to
the drive belt.
4. Retighten the four motor mount adapter
nuts.
5. Re-connect the idler arm spring to the idler
arm.
