MAINTENANCE
Removing and Replacing Belt
The belt is designed to last the life of the tool. However, abuse
of the tool could cause the belt to fail. If the blade does not
turn when the motor is running, the belt has failed. To inspect
or replace the belt, follow these directions:
1. Remove the belt cover screw.
2. Remove the belt cover. Inspect the ribs of the belt for wear
or failure. Check belt tension by squeezing the belt as
shown in figure 37. The belt should contact the center
boss when it is squeezed firmly with the thumb and index
finger.
3. To adjust the tension, loosen, but do not remove, the four
screws shown (figure 37). Rotate the set screw on the top
of the motor plate casting until the proper tension is
achieved. Tighten the six screws securely and replace
the belt cover.
NOTE: Overtightening the belt will cause premature motor
failure.
• All bearings are sealed ball bearings. They are lubricated
for life and need no further maintenance. Do not use WD-
40 or any other lubricant.
• Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around the
area of the saw. Even though slots are provided to allow
debris to pass through, some dust will accumulate.
• The brushes are designed to give you several years of
use. If they ever need replacement follow the instructions
on page 8 or return the tool to the nearest service center
for repair. Service center locations are packed with your
tool.
Repairs
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
maintenance and adjustment (including brush inspection
and replacement) should be performed by authorized service
centers or other qualified service organizations, always using
identical replacement parts.
