12. Adjustments & Maintenance
Drive belts
Over time the drive belt may loosen slightly. In this case, the belt must
either be tightened or replaced. Check the belt regularly for cracks or lateral
tears and replace it if necessary.
To access the interior of the machine, remove the 6 screws (3 on either side
of the machine) as shown in Fig 12.17.
In addition, the fence carrier must be removed, Fig. 12.18.
The side panel can now be removed by lifting upwards slightly and then
away from the machine, Fig 12.19.
Loosen the motor mounting bolts on the side of the machine, beneath the
outfeed table, Fig 12.20.
Use the weight of the motor to tension the drive belt. When the correct
tension is applied, tighten the motor mounting bolts.
When re-positioning the motor to apply tension, ensure it is
kept level in the horizontal plane. Also ensure both pulleys
are aligned.
Cutter Block Bearings
After prolonged use the bearings of the cutter block may become slightly
loose and need tightening. To do so, remove the spindle cover from the side
of the machine and adjust the 3 blind set screws shown in Fig. 12.21 with
a 3 mm hex wrench. This will adjust only the bearing on that side of the
cutter block. However, the amount of movement that is likely to occur is so
small that under normal circumstances adjustment of this bearing only will
be sufficient. When tightening the blind set screws, only minimal adjustment
is needed. Turn them each 1/8 of a turn at a time and stop when resistance
is felt. In the highly unlikely event that the other bearing needs adjustment,
please contact Record Power customer services in your area.
