small hex nuts (#10-24).

aligned. If not, adjust the motor on the motor
support assembly. Refer to Mounting the Motor.

• Pull the motor out until the belt is taut. Securely
tighten the hex bolts above the rods with a 12 mm
wrench.
• Put your hand around the belt halfway between the
two pulleys and squeeze the belt until both sides of
the belt touch. The motor should move freely as
you squeeze the belt. If it does not, loosen the hex
bolts and readjust the belt tension.
• Lower the blade with the height handwheel. Lift the
motor forward and remove the belt.
• Open the hinged belt guard and place it over the
motor screws on the motor pulley. Secure with flat
washers and hex nuts. Securely tighten the hex
nuts with a 8 mm wrench.
• Replace the belt and snap the guard closed.
• Check the clearances by indexing the blade. Turn
the bevel handwheel to 45 ° and back. Use the
height handwheel to fully lower and raise the blade.
