4. Pull down on the motor to achieve the desired
belt tension.
The V-belt is properly tensioned when finger
pressure on the belt half way between the two
pulleys causes 1/2" deflection (Figure 7).
5. Tighten the mounting bolts.
After two hours of operation, check belt tension
again. Readjust the tension if necessary.
Installing the Pulley Cover
Referring to Figure 8:
1. Place the pulley cover (A) over the opening in
the stand.
2. Line up the holes in the stand with the holes in
the guard.
3. Attach the pulley cover to the stand using four
1/4-20 x 1/2” pan head screws and 1/4” flat
washers (B).
Installing Cutterhead Guard
1. Remove the screw from the guard post.
Referring to Figure 9:
2. Turn spring knob (B) approximately one-half
revolution counter-clockwise (as viewed from
the top) and hold.
3. Insert the guard post into hole in table. Make
sure that the spring inside the spring knob (B)
engages the slot in guard post. If needed,
slightly turn the knob until the guard seats
itself.
4. Thread the screw (C) back into the guard post.
5. Check for proper operation. The cutterhead
guard (A) must return fully to the fence when
released. If guard does not return fully, pull
guard, apply more tension to the spring knob
(B) by turning it another half turn counter-
clockwise, and re-insert guard. If guard closes
too quickly and strikes fence too hard, reverse
the process.
6. Insert screw (C) back into the guard post.
Installing Access Door and Dust Chute
Referring to Figure 10:
Install access door (C) by placing bottom of panel
in the stand and fastening with four 1/8 x 3/8 pan
head screws (A) and four 1/8" flat washers (B).
Attach the dust chute (D) to the base with four 1/4"
x 1/2" machine screws and four 1/4" flat
washers (D).
