DRIVE BELT
The drive belt is a normal maintenance part
and should be inspected periodically for
wear. If the drive belt shows signs of drying
out, cracking or tearing, it should be
replaced. If the drive belt will not track
properly or comes off the pulleys, it should be
replaced.
Installing new drive belt: Disconnect plug from
power soruce. Loosen the three (3) screws
and remove the drive belt cover. Cut and
remove the worn drive belt. Before installing
the new drive belt, clean both pulleys
thoroughly. First place the new drive belt
onto the drive pulley then rotate clockwise
while pushing the belt onto the driven pulley.
Reinstall the drive belt cover and securely
tighten screws (Fig. 18).

RABBETING DEPTH STOP
The rabbeting depth stop (Fig. 16) allows the
user to set any rabbeting depth from 0 to 5/16
inch. For best results, it is important that the
blade be properly aligned (See "BLADE
ALIGNMENT"). The width of the rabbet is
controlled by the width fence. The maximum
cutting width is 3-1/4", and the final depth is
achieved by repetitive cutting until the
rabbeting depth guide contacts the
workpiece. The maximum rabbeting depth is
5/16"
Setting the rabbet depth: Loosen wing knob
and using the depth scale on the rabbeting
depth stop, set the desired rabbet depth.
Securely tighten wing knob (Fig. 17).
