Pulley Alignment
The pulley alignment is done in conjunction with the
V-belt replacement.
If you are just beginning the alignment, start with
the
Replacing the V-Belt section (previous page).
If you were directed here, proceed as follows:
1. Use a straight edge placed against the wheel
pulley and motor pulley, and refer to Figure 31
to determine if alignment is necessary.
If alignment is necessary:
2. With a 4mm hex wrench, loosen two set screws
on the motor (lower) pulley.
3. Adjust the motor pulley by sliding in or out.
4. Confirm the alignment of the V-belt by placing a
straight edge against the faces of both pulleys,
(Figure 31). If the straight edge lies flush
against both pulleys, then the pulleys and belt
are aligned.
5. Re-tighten the two set screws on the motor
pulley.
6. Return to Step 7 of the Replacing the V-Belt
section on page 19.
Electrical Connections
All electrical connections must
be done by a qualified electrician. Failure to
comply may result in loss of property and/or
serious injury.
VBS-18MW is rated at 1-3/4 HP, 1Ph, 115/230V,
prewired 115V.
The band saw comes with a 115V plug. If you
switch to 230V, a UL/CSA listed plug needs to be
purchased for the band saw that matches the 230V
outlet you intend to use.
Confirm that power at the site matches that on the
motor plate of the band saw, before making any
electrical connections. Review the wiring diagram
on page 40.
Review Grounding Instructions on pages 6-7.
