Barranca Diamond 6-inch TS6 Trim Saw - Manual (Page 15)

V-Belt
The 6-inch Trim Saw blade arbor is powered by an AX-24 rubber V-belt from the electric motor. The
V-belt is correctly tensioned at the factory. Periodically check the belt tension by removing the guard
and depressing the belt in the middle between the motor and blade pulleys. There should be 1/2" (12.7
mm) of deflection once the belt is pushed down (see Figure 14). If the belt tension should become too
loose, poor sawing performance or slipping will result. If the belt is too tight (i.e. no deflection) the
electric motor and blade arbor bearings may be overheated and wear out prematurely or the motor
may shut off due to overheating.
WARNING To service the V-belt, unplug the 6-inch Trim Saw from its power source and re-
move the fasteners which secure the belt guard housing to the saw table and motor.
Tools Needed:
• Large Standard Screwdriver
• Phillips screwdriver
1. Remove the belt guard.
2. Adjust the belt tension by loosening the four motor mounting nuts attached to the four studs
welded to the rear of the oil reservoir.
3. Slide the motor base left or right to increase or decrease belt tension (see Figure 15).
4. Securely retighten the motor mount nuts.
5. Replace and attach the belt guard to the saw table.
