Pulley alignment is important to the performance of your
shaper. If the pulleys are just slightly out of alignment,
the shaper may suffer from power loss and decreased
V-belt life.

)% Remove the motor cover from the back of the shaper
cabinet to expose the motor and pulleys.
*% Check the alignment with a straightedge. If the
pulleys are in alignment, the straightedge should
touch the two sides of each pulley evenly, as shown
in =`^li\,*.
— If the pulleys are correctly aligned with each
other, no adjustments are needed. Replace the
motor cover.
— If the pulleys are NOT correctly aligned, proceed
with Jk\g+.
+% This process is easiest with the help of another
person. Loosen the four bolts that attach the motor
to the motor base. One person should adjust the
motor either up or down while the other person
measures the alignment of the pulleys with a
straightedge.
,% When the pulley alignment is correct, re-tighten the
motor to the motor base.
-% Inspect your results. If necessary, repeat this
procedure until the pulleys are properly aligned.
Efk\1You can also make small adjustments in the
motor pulley alignment by raising or lowering it
along the motor shaft. To do this, loosen the two
set screws (one is shown in =`^li\,*) which are in
the groove of the middle motor pulley and move the
pulley into position. Tighten the set screws when the
alignment is satisfactory.
