4. Secure the table by retightening the trun-
nion bolts. Recheck the table position to
ensure that unwanted shifting did not occur
during retightening.
The motor and motor mounting plate are already
assembled in the base of the saw.
See Figure

Belt Tensioning
To perform the alignment:
1. Check for proper pulley alignment by plac-
ing a straightedge on the outside edge of
the upper pulley so that it overlaps the
motor pulley. If the straightedge does not
touch both pulleys evenly, the pulleys are
not aligned. Loosen one or both of the pul-
ley setscrews on their shafts and slide the
pulleys toward alignment. Remember to
retighten the setscrews when finished.
See
Figure 24 .
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any adjustments or
maintenance. Failure to
do this may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
