The guard is spring tensioned. When mounted,

it must have enough tension to completely cover

the cutterhead, and press firmly against the

fence. Test the tension by swinging the guard

away from the fence and then releasing it. The

guard should snap back to the fence.

NOTE: The guard must operate freely and must

not drag on the rabbeting ledge or infeed table.

If dragging occurs, check that the locking handle

(Figure 6) is tight. If guard still drags, the guard

assembly may need adjustment or replacement.

Removing Guard:

Some adjustment procedures, and rabbeting

operations, will require removal of the guard.

Loosen handle on rabbet ledge and vertically lift

guard out of the hole.

Aligning Pulleys

Check that the motor pulley and cutterhead

pulley are aligned; this will keep the belt vertical

and help prevent excess wear on it. If

adjustment is necessary, loosen the set screws

in the motor pulley using a hex wrench, and

slide the pulley as needed until alignment is

achieved. Re-tighten set screws.

Installing Drive Belt

Refer to Figure 7.

1. Remove the belt guard (shown in Figure 9).

2. Place one end of the belt through the

opening in the stand and into the groove of

the cutterhead pulley.

3. Reach through the dust chute opening in the

side of the stand with a 12mm wrench, and

keep the motor mount screw heads

stationary, while loosening the hex nuts with

a second 12mm wrench from inside the

stand (Figure 7).

4. Lift up on the motor to provide slack, and

place the lower end of the drive belt into the

motor pulley groove.

5. Let the motor slide back down and push

down on it until the belt is properly

tensioned. NOTE: There should be only

moderate deflection, usually about ½”, in the

belt midway between the pulleys when

using light finger pressure (Figure 8).

6. Tighten the four hex nuts on the motor

mount screws (Figure 7).
