G5787 Meatcutting Bandsaw -15-
Before you put on the V-belt, make sure that the
motor pulley and the upper pulley are reasonably
aligned. To do this, loosen the setscrew on the
motor pulley, adjust the motor pulley so it is in-line
with the upper pulley, then tighten the setscrew.
To put on the V-belt:
1. Loosen the (4) motor mount bolts.
2. Raise the motor up and fit the V-belt in the
pulley grooves, then let the motor down.
3. Place slight pressure on the motor to tension
the belt and tighten the (4) motor mount
bolts.
4. Check for approximately
1
⁄4" deflection. If the
belt is not tensioned right, repeat steps 1
and 3 until it is correct.

To install the table on the bandsaw unit:
1. Identify the four rollers mounted on the
underside of the table. These have grooves
in the center that fit on the outside of the slid-
ing rails.
2. Look down the underside of the table as
shown in Figure 19 so you can line up the
grooves in the rollers with the outside edges
of the sliding rails. As you slide the table on
the rollers, make sure the blade fits through
the slot in the table.
