align the motor and cutterhead pulleys with

7. If necessary, the pulley alignment can be
fine tuned by loosening the motor pulley
setscrews and moving the pulley in or out as
necessary.

8. Place firm tension on the motor and tighten
the motor adjustment bolts. Note—Only use
your hands to place tension on the motor.

place added leverage on the motor.
9. Check the V-belts for proper tension by light-
ly squeezing both sides together. If the belts
can be easily squeezed together more than
1
⁄2" on each side, increase the tension. If the
pulley seems tight enough, continue with the
assembly process. (You can always go back
and make adjustments after the initial opera-
tion of the jointer.
