• This saw is equipped with high tensile V-belts.
Belts are properly tensioned at the factory.
• To obtain accurate V-belt setting, a V-belt
tension tester should be used. Apply load at the
center of the belt span. Deflection should be 1/5"
with a 5 to 6 pound load.
After several hours of use it may be necessary to
adjust the tension of the belts (moderately). To do
this proceed as follows :
Release the screws fixing the motor to the
chassis.
Turn the tensioning screw (N) at the front of
themachine one quarter turn; this screw
pushes the motor backwards [
FIG.
6].
At normal tension, counterlock the nut of the
screw (N).
Relock the motor fixing screws.
