1. Disconnect machine from the power source.

2. Open the lower door and locate the locking bolt (A

Fig. 13). Loosen bolt using the provided 6mm T-

handle hex wrench.

3. Rotate motor so the belt slackens.

4. Tighten locking bolt (A, Fig. 13) to keep motor fixed

and prevent from pinching fingers.

5. Move belt from one pulley to the next. The belt

needs to be moved on BOTH idler pulley (C Fig.

13) and motor pulley (B Fig. 13). The belt should

NOT be twisted across the pulleys.*

6. Repeat steps 1-4 in reverse to tension belt.**

*: When the belt is set closer to the back of the saw

body it is set for 3000 SFPM speed, further away is

1500 SFPM speed.

**: Tensioning the belt can be acquired by pulling the

motor back with one hand and tightening the locking

bolt with the T-handle hex wrench with the other.

Excessive force is NOT needed to properly tension

belt.
