Pulley Alignment
Proper pulley alignment prevents premature belt
wear. The pulleys are properly aligned when they
are parallel and in the same plane as each other.
Tools Needed
Qty

Straightedge 12" ................................................. 1
Standard Screwdriver ......................................... 1
To check and adjust pulley alignment:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the work table assembly and miter
gauge.
3. Open the pulley cover.
4. Loosen the set screws that secure the cast
iron plate to the drive shaft, then remove the
plate.
5. Place a 12" straightedge across both pulleys,
as shown in
Figure 90.
Figure 90. Checking pulley alignment.
—If the straightedge touches the pulleys
evenly, no adjustments need to be made.
Go to
Step 7.
—If there is a gap between the straightedge
and one of the pulleys, that pulley needs to
be adjusted. Proceed to
Step 6.
6. Loosen the set screw on the pulley where you
noticed the gap, then adjust the pulley so it
touches the bottom of the straightedge when
it is extended across both pulleys, as shown
in
Figure 90.
7. Tighten the pulley set screw, re-install the
cast iron plate, close the pulley cover, then
re-install the thumb knob and work table.
