ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING DRIVE BELTS
The cutterhead drive belt needs to be checked periodi-
cally and re-tightened if necessary. Belts will stretch with
use, especially when they are new and are breaking in.
CHECKING THE DRIVE BELT
1. Make sure that the planer's switch is turned off, and
the plug is disconnected from the power source.
2. Remove the four (4) 10mm screws (A-Fig. 25) holding
the Belt Cover (#25) in place.
3. Check the drive belt tension with finger pressure. The
drive belt should not deflect more than 1/4" in the
center. FIG. 26.
4. See steps below if the drive belt tension needs to be
adjusted.
TENSIONING THE DRIVE BELTS
1. Check the Drive Belt tension with finger pressure as
decribed above. The drive belt should not give more
than 1/4" in the center. FIG. 26.
2. Loosen the four hex head bolts (#62) (A-Fig. 27) with
a 16MM wrench that secure the motor in place.
The motor and platen will drop under
its own weight causing the drive belts to loose tension.
3. Lift up on the motor platen to apply proper tension to
the drive belts. When the belt tension is correct, tight-
en the motor mounting bolts that were loosened in
step 2.
4. Replace the Belt Cover and secure in place using four
(4) 10mm screws (A-Fig. 25).
CHANGING THE DRIVE BELTS
You can replace and tension the drive belts by using the
steps described above. With the tension released the
drive belts will remove easily from the pulleys.
