5. Reach into the belt access cavity and roll
the belt onto the desired set of pulleys (see

6. Loosen the motor mount cap screw and lower
the motor.
Always choose the correct speed for your
particular turning project. As a general rule,
the larger the workpiece diameter, the slow-
er the speed. Always start the lathe on slow
speed. Failure to heed this warning could
lead to serious personal injury.
7. Apply downward pressure on the motor ten-
sioning handle to properly tension the drive
belt and re-tighten the motor mount cap
screw.
Note: When properly tensioned, the belt
should deflect about
1
⁄4" when moderate pres-
sure is applied to the belt mid-way between
the upper and lower pulley (see Figure 35).
