Belt Service
The drive belt stretches slightly with normal use of the
saw. Most of the stretching will happen during the first 16
hours of use, but it continues with time. If you notice that
the belt is slipping, it will need to be tensioned. If the
belt is cracked, frayed, or shows other signs of excessive
wear, it will need to be replaced.
Items Needed Qty

Replacement Ribbed V-Belt (Part No. X1824112) ..........1
Note: The replacement ribbed V-belt can be purchased
from your authorized Shop Fox dealer.
