best possible results from your new machine.
Step-by-step instructions for these adjustments
can be found in SECTION 7: SERVICE
.
Factory adjustments that should be verified:

Adjustments
Tighten V-Belt
The final step in the setup process must be done
after approximately 16 hours of operation. During
this first 16 hours, the V-belt will stretch and seat
into the pulley grooves. After this 16 hours, you
must retension the V-belt to avoid slippage and
burn out. Refer to Page 31 when you are ready to
perform this important adjustment.
Note:
Pulleys and belts can get hot. This is a nor-
mal condition. Allow them to cool before making
adjustments.
A small amount of black belt dust at the bottom
of the belt housing is normal during the life of the
machine and does not indicate a problem with the
machine or V-belt.
Test Run
Once the assembly is complete, test run your
machine to make sure it runs properly.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate
the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop
using the machine immediately, then review the
Troubleshooting on Page 32.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our
Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.
To test run the machine:
1. Make sure you have read the safety instruc-
tions at the beginning of the manual and that
the machine is setup properly.
2. Make sure all tools and objects used during
set up are cleared away from the machine.
3. Connect the machine to the power source.
4. Turn the machine ON.
5. Listen for abnormal noises or actions and
watch for vibration. The machine should run
smoothly.
— Strange or unusual noises must be inves
-
tigated and corrected before operating the
machine further. Always disconnect the
machine from power when investigating or
correcting potential problems.
6. Turn the machine OFF.
—If your outfeed table is correctly set, no
adjustments are necessary.
—If the knife lifts the straightedge off the
table or the table is below the straight
-
edge, adjust the outfeed table height with
the handwheel until the straightedge just
touches a knife at its highest point of rota
-
tion.
5. Lock the outfeed table, reinstall the cutterhead
guard, and close the rear access panel.
