of your machine.

General

MAKE SURE that your machine is

unplugged during all service proce-

dures! If this warning is ignored, seri-

ous personal injury may occur.

Your shaper uses a flat-type belt on two drum-style pul-

leys, to compensate for different belt positions as the

spindle height is adjusted.

To adjust belt, do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER SOURCE!

2. Loosen the belt adjustment bolts as shown in Figure

37.

3. Slide the motor position to increase or decrease belt

tension, so the belt is snug with about 1/4" deflec-

tion when pressed lightly with your fingertips.

4. Tighten the belt adjustment bolts.
