Checking/Adjusting
Belt Tension
To ensure optimum power transmission from the
motor to the blade, the belt must be in good condi-
tion and operate under proper tension.
Belt tension should be checked at least every
month—more often if the bandsaw is used daily. If
the belt shows signs of cracks, fraying, and exces-
sive wear, replace it as instructed in
Replacing
Belt on Page 52.
