WARNING!
Before performing service near moving parts
such as blades, pulleys, motors, belts and chains, first turn
the key switch to the OFF (#0) position and remove the key.
If the key is turned on and moving parts activated, serious
injury may result.
1.
Adjust the power feed belt as needed. When the power feed belt gets loose, it will begin
slipping. This causes the carriage to not move forward when cutting. To retighten the belt:
See Figure 5-19.
Remove the power feed belt cover and pivot the motor so that the
motor pulley moves away from the large feed pulley. Tighten the belt so there is 1/8"
(3 mm) deflection with a 7 lb. (3.2 Kg) deflection force. Retighten the motor bolts and
replace the feed motor cover.
Periodically check the belt for wear. Replace any damaged or worn belts as needed.
