3.14 Power Feed

1.

Adjust the power feed belt as needed. When the power feed belt gets loose, it will begin slipping.
This causes the carriage to not move forward when cutting. To retighten the belt:

See Figure 3-10. 

Remove the four cover bolts and belt cover and measure the belt tension. The belt

should be tightened so there is 1/8" (3 mm) deflection with a 7 lb. (3.2 Kg) deflection force. To adjust
the belt tension, loosen the four motor mount bolts. Place a wrench on the jam nut and turn the
adjustment bolt clockwise to tighten the belt. Retighten the motor bolts and replace the feed motor
cover.

2.

Adjust the power feed chain as needed. Measure the power feed chain tension with the saw head all
the way toward the front of the mill. Use the two lock nuts at the rear of the mill to tighten or loosen
the power feed chain. Adjust the chain until it measures 7 to 8 inches (17.8 to 20.3 cm) from the top
of the top rail at its lowest point.

CAUTION!

 Do not overtighten the feed chain. Damage to the power

feed motor may result.
