Maintenance
3.17 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 3-13.
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.
