8” JOINTER ASSEMBLY
ASSEMBLING MOTOR PULLEY
Assemble motor pulley (A) Fig. 4, on the motor shaft (B) with the hub of
the pulley in the outer position as shown. Make certain key (C) is
inserted in the keyway of the motor pulley and shaft. Tighten set screw
(which is located on the pulley hub) against the motor shaft (B).
ASSEMBLING BELT AND ALIGNING PULLEYS
1. Place belt (A) Fig. 5, inside the grooves of cutterhead pulley (B) and
motor pulley (C).
2. Make certain the motor pulley (C) Fig. 6, is aligned with cutterhead
pulley (B) by placing a straight edge (D) onto the face of each pulley
as shown.
3. If an adjustment is necessary, the motor pulley (C) Fig. 6, can be
moved in or out on the motor shaft, or the motor can be moved by
loosening four mounting screws, two of which are shown at (E)
Fig. 6. After adjustment is made tighten the four mounting screws or
the set screw on the hub of the motor pulley, depending on which
adjustment you made.
ADJUSTING BELT TENSION
Proper belt tension is obtained when there is approximately 1
˝
deflection
at the center span of the belt, using light finger pressure. If an adjustment
is necessary, the motor can be raised or lowered by loosening four
mounting screws, two of which are shown at (E) Fig. 6.
Tighten motor mounting hardware after proper tension is applied.
NOTE:
Make certain the motor pulley is aligned with the cutterhead
pulley. Reassemble the rear panel to the stand which was removed in
