Installing Bed to Stand
1. Remove rear door on cabinet.
2. Place bed assembly on top of stand, making
sure the pulleys face the rear of the cabinet.
Ask a friend for assistance with this step. (DO
NOT LIFT BY TABLE ENDS, LIFT FROM
CENTER OF CASTING) (Fig. 1)
3. Line up the two holes in stand top with holes
in the bed assembly by viewing through rear
access door in stand.
4. Attach stand to bed assembly by using two
3/8" lock bolts spring washers and washers.
(See Fig. 2) Hand tighten only at this time.
5. Line up third hole in stand with hole in bed
assembly by viewing through dust chute.
6. Install third 3/8" lock bolt and washer through
dust chute to secure bed to stand. DO NOT
tighten at this time.
Installing the V-Belt
1. Place the “V-Belt” on the cutter-head pulley
and through the opening in the cabinet and
onto the motor pulley. (Fig. 3)
2. If necessary loosen the motor mounting
screws to raise the motor.
3. Check to verify the motor pulley and the cutter-
head pulley are aligned vertically, and the “V-
Belt” does not touch the cabinet. To adjust the
pulleys, loosen the motor mounts and slide the
motor in or out or loosen the three 3/8” lock
bolts and move the jointer top.
(Fig. 4)
4. Tighten all three lock bolts (from Assembly
Section #4 & #6 above) using 14mm or 9/16”
wrench.
5. Tension the “V-Belt”. A properly tensioned belt
should have 1/2" deflection when finger
pressure is applied half way between the two
pulleys.
6. Re-check the “V-Belt” tension after 2
hours of use. Re-tension as needed.
