-19-
The V-Belt on the Model G0561 may have come
installed and only need to be tensioned or reposi
-
tioned for your desired RPM. The following steps
will take you through both processes.
To tension or change the V-belt position:
1. UNPLUG THE BANDSAW!
2. Loosen but do not remove the two hex
bolts on the bottom of the motor mount (see
Figure 13).

3. Adjust the two hex bolts on the outer edge of
the motor mount to either loosen or tension
the belt (see
Figure 13).
4. Slip the V-belt over the combination of pulleys
to get the desired RPM. Make sure the belt
is on parallel sheaves. See the chart on the
inside of the pulley cover for RPM choices.
5. Re-tension the belt. Apply enough tension
so the belt deflects about
1
⁄2" with moderate
pressure when pinched together between the
center of the pulleys.
