PULLEY ALIGNMENT
1. Hold a straight edge flush to the face of the pulleys to
check pulley parallel alignment.
Fig. 6A + 6B
2. If the pulleys are aligned: fully tighten the bolts that
secure the jointer to the base .
3. If the pulleys are not aligned: move the position of the
jointer bed on the base to obtain pulley alignment, then
tighten the 3 mounting bolts.
NOTE:
If pulley alignment still cannot be obtained, slide the
motor axially by loosening the motor rubber bushings.
Loosen the nuts from under the motor baseplate, move the
motor to align pulleys, then carefully re-tighten the hex nuts.
