Aligning Pulleys; Installing Drive Belt - Powermatic 60C Manual De Operación Y Partes

1. Insert a small hex wrench, or similar object,
into the pin on the guard tension mechanism
(Figure 6-1).
2. Twist the hex wrench and pin clockwise, as
shown in Figure 6-2, and hold them there.
3. Lower the shaft of the guard into the hole on
the jointer's rabbeting ledge. See Figure 6-
3. The guard should be lowered into the
hole far enough that the groove in the
guard's shaft will mate with the shaft of the
set screw (Figure 6-3).
4. After the guard has been inserted into the
hole, let go of the guard with your left hand -
the guard will swing toward the fence.
5. Completely tighten the set screw (Figure 6-
3), while continuing to hold the hex wrench
and pin with your right hand.
6. When the guard is secured, remove the hex
wrench from the pin. Slightly loosen the set
screw (Figure 6-3) until the pin snaps back
against the rabbeting ledge.
7. Re-tighten the set screw (Figure 6-3).

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
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).
