way out, so the clutch dogs are in full
engagement when the saw is started.
4. Close the pulley case door.
5. Plug the electrical cord into the power source
or close the circuit breaker on the branch
circuit.
Changing Drive Belt Position
WARNING: The saw must be turned off and
power disconnected before changing drive belt
positions.
Refer to Figure 11, below.
1. Unplug the electrical cord or open the circuit
breaker in the branch circuit.
2. Open the door on the machine base and the
door on the pulley case.
3. Push up on the motor to pivot the motor
upward and slacken the drive belt.
4. Move the drive belt to the desired pulley
position.
NOTE: Never force the belts to change pulley
location without pivoting the motor to loosen
the motor belt. Failure to do so can cause
damage to the drive mechanism, and
accelerate belt wear and possibly result in belt
failure.
5. Release the weight of motor so the motor
pivots downward. The weight of the motor will
provide adequate belt tension.
6. Plug the electrical cord into the power source
or close the circuit breaker on the branch
circuit.
NOTE: Keeping both belts installed on the pulleys
makes it quicker to switch between wood and
metal cutting. If you cut only metal, or only wood,
you may wish to remove the other belt.
Changing Pulley-to-Belt Position
WARNING: NEVER attempt to change pulley
shaft positions while the saw is running. The
saw must be turned off and power
disconnected any time pulley shaft positions
are being changed.
1. Unplug the electrical cord or open the circuit
breaker in the branch circuit.
2. Open the door on the machine base and the
door on the pulley case.
3. Push up on the motor to pivot the motor
upward and slacken the drive belt.
4. With the motor drive belt loose, remove both
pulley drive belts.
5. Both of the pulleys are secured to their shafts
with two set screws. These are located in the
bottoms of the V-grooves on the pulleys. Using
a hex wrench, loosen (but do not remove) all
four set screws.
6. Pull the pulleys straight off each shaft.
7. Put the lower pulley on the upper shaft and the
upper pulley on the lower shaft.
8. Push the upper pulley firmly against the
reduction gearbox and tighten the two
setscrews which secure it to the shaft.
9. Using a straight edge against the pulley
flanges, make certain the bottom pulley is
aligned with the upper pulley. Then tighten the
two set screws that secure the lower pulley to
the shaft.
10. Install the belts as required (refer to Figure
11).
11. Release the weight of motor so the motor
pivots downward. The weight of the motor will
provide adequate belt tension.
