HP-400P HORIZONTAL BAND RESAW -53-
Replacing Conveyors
Although the conveyor belts have slight differences in size and access, the replacement instructions are the
same.
To replace the conveyor belts
:
1. Start the conveyor belt that you want to replace.
2. Stop the conveyor belt when the conveyor belt seam is accessible.
3. Disconnect the resaw from the power source!
4. Loosen the roller bracket by turning the roller bracket cap screws 3/4 of a turn.
5. Loosen the rear adjustment nuts away from the bracket plate.
6. Mark the front adjustment nut with a magic marker or a piece of tape, and thread the front adjustment nut
ll the way up, while keeping track of the number of full turns that you moved the nut.
Note—Write the number of turns down, so you do not forget. Remembering this number is an important
part of the re-assembly process.
7. Slide the roller brackets toward the body of the resaw to loosen the belt.
8. Remove the stiff cable from the center of the seam to separate it.
9. Remove the old conveyor belt from the conveyor table, and replace the new conveyor belt in its place.
10. Mesh the seam “teeth” together on the new belt, and insert the stiff cable into the center of the seam to
lock it together.
11. Slide the roller brackets away from the body of the resaw to tighten the belt.
12. Turn the front adjustment bolts the exact number of rotations that you turned them when you loosened
them.
Note—The new belt may be tighter than the old one because it has not been broken-in. If this is the case,
deduct one or two turns from your original number of turns.
