V-Belt Maintenance
With extended use, V-belts will stretch and may
slip on the pulleys. When this happens, they need
to be re-tensioned. If the V-belts are excessively
worn, cracked, or damaged, they need to be
replaced. Both processes require similar steps.
To re-tension/replace the V-belts:
1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2. Raise the front guard up, and remove the
inner blade guard to access the pivot arm
assemblies and motors (see
Figure 39).

3. Use a 14mm wrench on the inner arbor nut
(see Figure 40) and a 19mm wrench on the
arbor bolt to remove the arbor bolt, arbor
flange, and saw blade.
The teeth of saw blades
are sharp and can easily
cut fingers and hands.
Always wear heavy leath
-
er gloves when handling
saw blades.
Note: The left saw blade has a left-hand arbor
bolt—to remove it, turn it clockwise. The right
saw blade has a normally threaded arbor bolt
and is removed by turning counterclockwise.
4. Use a 10mm hex wrench to remove the two
cap screws, lock washers, and the side blade
guard (see
Figure 41).
