Assembly (continued)
Mounting The Motor
1. From the loose parts bag find the following items:
4 M8 x 35 Hex Cap Bolts (approx. 1-3/8”)
8 M8 Washers
4 M8 Lockwashers
4 M8 Nuts
4 Rubber Grommets
2. From the loose parts find the following items:
1 Motor
1 V-Belt
3. To mount motor, place four rubber grommets over
holes in stand top. NOTE : Use of rubber grommets is
essential for eliminating excessive vibration. Place
motor over rubber grommets and fasten to stand top
with four hex head bolts, eight washers, four lockwash-
ers, and four hex nuts, as shown. Do not tighten at this
time.
4. Align the inside edge of the motor pulley with inside
edge of the large pulley using a straight edge. Using a
3mm hex “L” wrench, adjust one or both pulleys by
loosening the set screw and moving the pulley(s) until
they line up with each other. Tighten set screws.
5. Place V-belt over both pulleys.
6. Tension V-belt by moving motor away from the saw body
and tighten the motor mount nuts. (Do not over-tighten
motor mount bolts. Tighten just enough to tension belt.)
Belt is properly tensioned when finger pressure between
the two pulleys causes approximately 1/2” deflection.
