Pulley Alignment
Proper pulley alignment (see Figure 35) prevents pre-
mature belt wear. The pulleys are properly aligned when
they are parallel and in the same plane as each other.
Use a straightedge on the edge of the pulleys to judge
alignment.
Should you find that the pulleys are out of alignment,
do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER
SOURCE!
2. Remove the motor access panel, the V-belt cover,
and loosen the belt tension ( Page 24).
3. Using a 12mm wrench, loosen the motor mount fas-
teners shown in Figure 36 just enough to allow the
motor to be repositioned.
4. Slide the motor as required to align the pulleys.
5. Re-tighten the motor mount fasteners carefully to
assure that the tightening process does not move
the motor.
6. Re-tension the V-belts.
7. Replace the belt cover and motor access panel.
