5. Secure the material before cutting.
Cut slowly through the material using
a out-down-and-back motion.
Failure to clamp securely or cut
slowly could result in the material
coming loose and causing injury.
After several cuts are made at various
miter angles other than 0°, the platform
may weaken and not properly support
the work. Install a new, unused platform
to the saw after presetting the desired
miter angle.
_CAUTION: Continued use of a
platform with several kerfs may cause
loss of material control and possible
injury.

Removing and Replacing Belt (Fig. 4, 24)
The belt is designed to last the life of the FIG.24
tool. However, abuse of the tool could
cause the belt to fail.
If the blade does not turn when the motor
is running, the belt has failed. To inspect
or replace the belt, remove the belt cover
screws. Remove the belt cover. Inspect
the ribs of the belt for wear or failure.
Check belt tension by squeezing the belt as
shown in Figure 24. The belt halves should
almost touch when squeezing firmly with
the thumb and index finger. To adjust the
tension, loosen, but do not remove, the
four crosshead screws shown. Then rotate
the set screw on the top of the motor
plate casting until the proper tension is
achieved. Tighten the four screws securely
and replace the belt cover.
NOTICE: Overtightening the belt will cause premature motor failure.
