SERVICE
The V-belts are tensioned by pivoting the motor up or
down. The slotted holes in the motor mount bracket
(Figure 76) allow the motor to pivot in the hinge holes.
To replace the V-belts, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER SOURCE!
2. Loosen the motor mount bolts.
3. Pivot the motor up so the belts loosen, then remove
them from the pulleys.
4. Install a matching set of new V-belts.
5. Pivot the motor down to tighten the belts, and hold
downward pressure on the motor with one hand and
tighten the motor mount bolts with the other hand.
6. Check the belt tension by pushing (with moderate
pressure) one of the belts between the pulleys, as
shown in
Figure 77. The correct deflection range is
between
1
⁄4" and
1
⁄2".
Note: V-belts only need to be tight enough so they
don't slip when the motor is at full load. Extremely
tight V-belts will cause the motor and pulley bear
-
ings to wear faster.

The adjustment set screws shown in Figure 78 allow you
to pivot the fence left or right to make it parallel with
the blade. The fence must be parallel to the blade or
slightly (no more than
1
⁄32" from front to back) angled
away from the blade at the rear of the fence so the
workpiece will not bind between the fence and blade
during the cut.
If your workpiece binds as you make your cuts, the risk
of serious personal injury from kickback increases dra
-
matically. Signs that the workpiece is binding include
burn marks on the workpiece and difficulty feeding the
workpiece completely through the cut.
The basic procedure for adjusting the fence is to tighten
one side and loosen the other side in equal increments.
The side that is loosened is the side that the fence will
move toward. For full instructions on adjusting the fence,
refer to the Owner's Manual included with the fence.
