mean that the belt needs to be re-tensioned.
To re-tension the drive belt:

components (see picture below).

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
Scrap piece of wood (if a soft
mallet is not available)
• Sit a straight edge across the extension table, or tables depending on how long
your straight edge is, and across the main saw bed.
• Using the straight edge as a guide, tap the joints between the extension table /
tables and the main saw bed with the mallet or scrap of wood until all tables are
level.
• Tap at the front and the back of the tables to ensure that they are correctly set
in all directions.
Tip: The rip fence (inverted) makes a good straight edge.
