ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The motor
of this machine is wired for 110V single phase operation
and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3prong grounding plug to fit a grounded type receptacle . Do not remove the 3rd prong (grounding pin)
to make it fit into an old 2-hole wall socket or extension
cord. If an adaptor plug is used , it must be attached
to the metal screw of the receptacle.
Note: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some
areas. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts
or if the supplied plug does not correspond to your electrical outlet, consult a qualified eletrician before proceeding.
CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of
handling the amperage draw from your machine, as
well as any other machines that could be operating on
the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified
electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows
regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit
that is close to its amperage draw capacity.However, if
an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a
power failure still occurs,contact a qualified technician
or our service depar tment.
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE,VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS
WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE T O THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT,CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your
machine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a
damaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage
listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the
correct size extension cord to be used based on cord
length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the number, the
heavier the gauge.

PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
EST
ABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it is
advisable to establish a Safety Zone around shop machinery.A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor around
each machine can help avoid accidents that could cause injury to either the operator or the shop visitor.It is advisable to take a few moments to either paint (using nonslip paint) or using tape, define on the floor the limits or
perimeter of each machines safety zone. Take steps to
ensure that all operators and shop visitors are aware that
these areas are off limits whenever a machine is running
for everyone but the individual operating the unit.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
This machine should be installed and operated only on
a solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support the
weight of the bandsaw 398 lbs (181 kg) and the operator. Plan for placement within your shop that will allow
the operator to work unencumbered and unobstructed
by foot traffic (either passing shop visitors or other shop
workers) or other tools or machinery.
The protective coating on the saw table prevents rust
from forming during shipping and storage. Remove it
by rubbing with a rag dipped in kerosene,mineral spirits or paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable
solvent-soaked rags according to manufacturer’s safety recommendations.)
A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface,
may also be used to scrape off the coating followed
by clean-up with solvent.A void rubbing the saw’s painted surfaces,as many solvent-based products will remove paint.
To prev ent rust,apply a light coating of paste wax or use
regular applications of any after-market surface protectant or rust inhibitor.
CLEAN UP
Tip: With a screw driver, push a solvent-saturated rag into the T-slot to remove the grease.

BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE UNIT
This 15 " adjustable height wood cutting bandsaw allows the user to adjust the height of the upper frame to suit different cutting needs. By means of a crank handle on a smooth rack and pinion system, the saw can be adjusted to
take blades of varying lengths from 93 1/2”to 106 3/8”,allowing for a maximum resaw capacity (or maximum workpiece height ) of up to 12”in height. Max imum inboard width of cut (space between the blade and the body of
the saw ) is 14 3/4".
This model 90-200 is designed to accommodate blade
widths from 1/4" to 3/4" and is supplied with two 3/8" wide
general purpose blades - one 93 1/2” and one 105” long.
A dual position deluxe aluminum rip fence (tall for resawing or short for rip cuts) is supplied to serve as a straightedge to guide the workpiece for longer rip cuts. The fence
can easily be removed and set aside when not required,
for example when making curved cuts.

ADJUSTING THE BL
ADE GUARD FOR DEPTH OF CUT
The blade guard can be moved up or down to accommodate the height of the work to be cut. To prevent the
blade (which is flexible and which would not otherwise be supported) from slipping out of position during cutting,
and to reduce risks of injuries, a minimum amount of blade should be exposed.
The blade guard should be set 1/8” - 1/4” above the workpiece
to prevent the blade from flexing out of position or off-line during
cutting.
Adjust the height of the blade guard to suit the thickness of the
workpiece as follows:
1. Make sure the bandsaw is turned off and the power cord is
disconnected from the power source.
2. Loosen the smaller lock knob .

is worn or damaged.
Blade teeth are sharp. Use care w hen handling a
saw blade.
Do not attempt to coil up the blade as it was when
you first purchased it as it has a tendency to pop
open unexpectedly and could cause injury.
BLADE SELECTION
There are a variety of different types of bandsaw blades on the market to suit various cutting applications.Your results
may vary based on usage, experience and personal preference.
Replacement blades made from high carbon steel can be purchased in a variety of lengths and widths from your
General® International dealer (See “Recommended Optional Accessories” on page 29) or (depending on availability) from your local tool dealer.There are many standard sizes that should be readily available in most areas. The use
of any size outside of the saw’s specified length or width range is not recommended and can lead to serious injury
and/or damage to the machine.
Some general guidelines to consider when choosing bandsaw blades:
• Wider blades with fewer teeth per inch are best suited to cutting straight lines,re-sawing and for sweeping curves,
but will not turn tight radius curves. They will cut quickly and aggressively but do have a tendency to bind (or get
stuck in the cut) if turned too sharply.
•Narrower, thinner blades with more teeth per inch will cut more slowly but can turn much tighter corners for cutting
more intricate work.
Common causes of blade breakage:
• Poor guide bearing alignment and adjustment.
• Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a short radius.
• Feeding the workpiece too quickly.
• Dull teeth.
• Too much blade tension.
•Setting blade guard assembly too high above the workpiece.
•Lumpy or improperly finished braze or weld on the blade.
•Continuous running of blade when not cutting.
Note: Steps 3 and 4 may be unnecessary if you’ve just removed a blade. (If needed, refer back to the previous page.)
3. Remove the table alignment pin from the table slot and the red insert from the center of the table.
4. Remove the right hand side blade guard by removing the four Phillips head screws.
5. Guide the blade through the table slot,then slip the blade
onto the right side of the wheels.
6. Feed the blade into the left blade guard and around the
wheels. Make sure the blade teeth point forward and
down .
With the blade properly installed, proceed to blade tension
adjustments and blade tracking adjustments, as per instructions on the next few pages.
To install a blade:
1. Turn off the bandsaw and unplug the power cord.
Beware of the blade popping open.
Note: You may want to use a thick shop towel to
handle the loose blade or wear a pair of heavy
duty work gloves for the following steps.
2. If you are installing a new blade, carefully remove the
blade from its package. Hold it firmly with one hand as
you remove the twist ties. Slowly separate the coils of
the blade until it unravels into one hoop.
Proper installation
Improper installation
Determining ideal blade tension is somewhat subjective. It is learned through practice and experience and is
somewhat dependant on personal preference and individual work habits.
A properly tensioned blade is critical to obtaining maximum performance from any bandsaw. A properly tensioned blade will last longer and be much less likely to break prematurely.If the blade tension is too loose you will
notice that the blade will have a tendency to drift or slip off-line when cutting and you will have more dif ficulty controlling your cuts.A blade that is tensioned too tightly will break prematurely and will be difficult to work with when
making tighter radius cuts.
The following information can be used as a guideline or starting point to assist you in determining ideal blade tension for your needs:
•
When working with wider blades, re-sawing taller stock, making straight cuts or wide sweeping cur ves tight
er blade tensions will provide better results.
•
When working with narrower blades, sawing shorter s tock and making tighter curved cuts are best
per for med using less tension.

To adjust blade tension proceed as follows:
Note: Always verify the lev el of blade tension before pulling the blade tension quick release lever down.Refer to the blade tension gauge . The indicated level of tension must correspond to the width
of the blade installed on your bandsaw. Pulling the tension lever
down with the blade too tensioned will force and damage the blade tension mechanism.
1. Pull the tension lever down for quick blade tensioning.
2. Refer ing to the blade tension gauge set the blade ten-
sion to correspond with the width of the blade installed on
your bandsaw.Adjust the blade tensioning by turning the
blade tension knob :
a) Clockwise to tighten
b) Counter-clockwise to loosen the blade tension.
3. With the saw turned off, press against the side of the blade
to test the tautness of the blade . For ideal results with
most blade widths and cutting applications the blade
should flex in no more than 1/4" to 3/8".
4. Make a test cut on a sample piece of wood and if needed re-adjust the blade tension.
Note: To prolong the life of the blade whenever the bandsaw is not in use for prolonged periods (more than 24
hours), release the blade tension lever to remove tension from the blade, Over time, maintaining tension on a
blade that is not in use will cause the blade to deform, by taking the shape of the wheels at both extremities. This
can weaken the blade and cause premature breakage.
ADJUSTING BLADE TRACKING
Blade tracking means centering the blade on the wheels.
Ideally, the blade should stay relatively centered on both the
upper and lower wheels
.
Due to natural variations in castings, blade thickness or density
and tire wear, absolute perfect centering alignment is rarely
attainable. A slight misalignment of the blade on the w heels is
inevitable and as long as it is kept to a minimum (following the
steps listed below) will not hinder the performance of the saw.
This misalignment is controlled and kept to a minimum by adjusting the tilt angle of the upper wheel.
When adjusting blade tracking to center the blade on the wheels and assuming that perfect centering is not attainable,it is preferable to have the blade slightly off-center towards the front of the wheels rather than towards the rear
because the teeth on most bandsaw blades have alternating hook (one inner,one outer) – therefore if the blade is
centered too far back on the wheel (or if the blade tension is too tight), inner hooked teeth will dig into the wheel
tire and cause premature wear of the tire.
Nonetheless, to avoid having the blade come off of the wheels on it’s own during operation, the front edge of the
blades teeth should never be any closer than 3 mm (1/16”) from the front edge of the wheel .
BLADE CLEARANCE
Note: As previously stated, when performing blade installation, removal, tensioning or tracking, maximum clearance
between the blade and both upper and lower bearing assemblies is required to minimize friction, which would be
damaging to the blade. Refer back and follow the instructions for “blade clearance” before perfor ming blade tracking adjustments.

3 mm - 1/16"
20
To adjust the blade tracking:
1. Open the upper wheel cover door then rotate the wheel
slowly forward by hand and check the position of the
blade on the wheel.The blade should remain as centered as possible on the wheel as it turns.
2. If the blade tracking must be adjusted, turn the tracking knob on the rear of the bandsaw:
A) Clockwise if the blade moves toward the front of the
wheel. This tilts the top of the wheel to the back and
moves the blade toward the center.
B) Counter-clockwise if the blade moves toward the
back edge. This tilts the top of the w heel to the front
and moves the blade toward the center.
Note: Turn the tracking knob in 1/2 turn increments, re-check and adjust again as needed.
3 Once the tracking has been set, tighten the wing nut under the adjusment knob to lock the adjustment.
ADJUSTING THE UPPER BLADE GUIDES AND THRUST BEARING
The blade guides keep the blade from moving from side to side during cutting and must be snug but not touching
the blade in order to ensure accurate cuts.The space between each bearing and the blade must not exceed 0.02"
(the thickness of a sheet of paper). If less space is left, the blade will get stuck or jammed between both bearings .
Too much friction will cause the blade to overheat and break. Also, the guides must remain at least 1/32” behind
the blade teeth to prevent damage to the blade.
The thrust bearing keeps the blade from moving back and out of position when the work is being fed into the blade
and must be very close to the back of the blade to prevent damage to the blade during cutting.
Note: Before adjusting the upper and lower blade guides and thrust bearings, make sure the blade is tensioned and tracking properly. Adjust the upper and lower blade guides and thrust bearings after each blade tension and tracking adjustment. Whenever the upper blade guide and thrust bearing are adjusted, the lower blade guide and thrust bearing should
also be adjusted.
Adjust the positioning of the upper blade guides as follows:
To avoid injury, make sure that the switch is in the “OFF”
position and that the power cord is unplugged before
performing any adjustments on the bandsaw.
1. Loosen the two Allen bolts with the supplied 5 mm Allen
key provided and slide the two blade guides along the
elongated hole in the mounting bracket , toward the
blade.
2. Place a feeler gauge between one of the bearings and
the blade and tighten the Allen bolt until there is a 0.02"
gap left between the blade guide and the blade .
3. Repeat step 2 for the other guide on the other side of the
the blade.
4. Loosen the lower thumb screw .
5. Turn the micro adjust nut to move the guide bearing
assembly in or out until the guides are at least 1/32” behind the blade teeth .The guides must remain behind the
blade teeth to prevent damage to the blade.
6. Tighten the lower thumb scre w to lock the guide bearing
assembly in position.

CHANGING SPEED SETTINGS
This model 90-200 15" wood cutting bandsaw has 2 different
speed settings; low and high.
- Low speed is to be used for cutting soft woods over 4"
in height or hard woods over 2" in height.
- High speed is best for cutting soft woods under 4" in
height or hard woods under 2" in height.
Note: If wood starts to burn at high speed, stop and change to the
lower speed setting.
To change the speed setting:
1. Turn off power and disconnect the bandsaw from the power source to avoid unintentional start-up of the bandsaw.
2. Open the lower wheel cover door.
3. At the back of the bandsaw,just above the motor ,there is a
ratchet lever for loosening the tension on the drive
belt. When you pull it out, as shown in , it disengages for
re-setting. When you release it as shown in ,it engages the
bolt for screwing or unscrewing. (You can tell when it is
engaged by the orange indicater button showing).
4. To loosen the drive belt, loosen the lever a few turns counterclockwise then pull up on the capacitor cover of the
motor as shown in and pivot the motor to the left. This
loosens the belt enough to move it between one set of pulleys and the other.
5. To set the bandsaw speed to the slower setting; 1570 FPM (480 MPM), place the belt on the frontmost set of
pull ey s as shown in .
6. To set the bandsaw speed to the faster setting; 2660 FPM (810 MPM), place the belt on the rearmost set of
pulleys as shown in .
7. Having repositioned the belt, push down firmly on the motor capacitor cover to tighten the belt,then tur n the
ratchet lever clockwise until it is tight and the motor does not move.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Now that you have completed the four adjustment steps which are an essential part of safe,accurate bandsaw operation, it would be a good idea to make yourself a checklist as follows to ensure that each adjustment to the bandsaw is
made in the proper order starting with the general safety precaution:
1. Turn off the bandsaw and unplug the power cord.
2. Adjust blade tension.
3. Adjust blade tracking.
4. Adjust upper blade guides and thr ust bearing.
5. Adjust lower blade guides and thrust bearing.
CHECKLIST BEFORE STARTING
These additional safety measures should be be included in your checklist:
6. Make sure all the blade guards are in place.
7. Make sure the bandsaw table and work area in general are clean and free of sawdust and debris.
These steps should always be followed when any adjustment is performed, the blade is changed, or periodically as vibra-
tion and normal wear and tear on the machine could throw these parts out of alignment.
CONNECTING TO A DUST COLLECTOR
A dust port with a 4” opening is built-in to the saw to accommodate connection to a dust collector (not included). Be sure to use appropriate sized hose and fittings (not included) and check that all connections are sealed
tightly to help minimize airborne dust .
If you do not already own a dust collection system consider contacting your General® International distributor for
information on our complete line of dust collection systems and accessories or visit our Web Site at: www.general.ca.

OPERATIONS STEP-BY-STEP
1.
Trace the cutting line on your workpiece with a pencil (for cutting curves) or adjust the laser beam to mar k
the cutting line (for cutting straight lines). If needed, refer back to section “laser line marker” on page 14.
2. Set the height of the blade guard according to the thickness of your workpiece (see section: “Adjusting the blade guard for depth of cut”
on page 14
.)
3. If a dust collector is connected to your bandsaw,tur n it on.
To reduce the risk of damage to the bandsaw or the workpiece, as well as a potential for personal injury, after initial set-up as well as before each use, make sure that everything is securely installed and that all fastener s and
moving parts on this bandsaw are locked in place before starting the machine.
Make sure to have on safety glasses at all times when using the bandsaw.
Make sure you are wearing safe appropriate workshop attire. Roll up long sleeves, secure long hair and remove
any jewelry: watches, rings, bracelets or anything that could get stuck into the moving parts of the bandsaw,
potentially causing serious injuries.
4.
Push on the green “ON”button to s tart the bandsaw.
5. Align the cutting line on your workpiece with the blade and feed the workpiece into the blade.
Tip: The use of a roller stand provides an extra support for more convenience when working with longer workpieces.
TO STOP THE MACHINE
1. Push the red “STOP”panel.
2. Turn your dust collector off.
INST
ALLING / USING THE RIP FENCE
1. Set the fence down on the rail either to the left or right of
the blade.
Note: For short workpieces that fit between the frame of the saw
and the blade , position the fence at the left side of the blade.
For cutting longer or wider workpieces, position the fence, on the
right side of the saw blade.
2.
Adjust the positioning of the fence on the rail so that the
distance from the inside face of the rip fence to the blade matches the required width of cut.
3.
Tighten the lock knob to lock the the fence in place.
Make sure to lock the fence in place before starting to cut against the rip fence.
CUTTING CURVES
• When cutting curves,carefully turn the workpiece so the blade follows without twisting. If the curve is so sharp that
you repeatedly back up and cut new kerf, use a narrower blade,or a blade with more set (teeth further apar t).
When a blade has more set, the workpiece turns easier but the cut is rougher.
• When changing a cut,do not withdraw the workpiece from the blade. The blade may get drawn off the wheels.
• To change a cut, turn the workpiece and cut your way out through the waste material area.
• When cutting long curves, make relief cuts as you go along.
CUTTING CIRCLES
1. Adjust the blade guard assembly to 1/8" above the work
piece.
2. Use both hands while feeding the work into the blade.Hold
the workpiece firmly against the table.Use gentle pressure.
Do not force the work.Allow the blade to cut.
3. The smallest diameter circle that can be cut is determined
by the width of the blade.For example, a 1/4" wide blade
will cut a minimum diameter of approximately 1 1/2".

USING THE MITER GAUGE
Using the miter gauge supplied with your bandsaw allows for easier and safer sawing by providing workpiece support w hen cutting straight (90°) or angled ends (0° to 30°).
The miter gauge r ides in the table slot to the right of the blade
and can be set to any angle up to 30° to the left or right .It also
acts as a feeder for advancing smaller workpieces through the
blade with reduced risk of injury to the hands.
To use a setting other than 90°,loosen the lock knob by turning it counter-cloc kwise.Rotate the miter head to the required angle , shown on the angle indicator.Then turn the
lock knob clockwise to tighten it.

ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS
The upper frame of this bandsaw is mounted to a sturdy column which can raise or lower the upper frame using a
very smooth rack and pinion system by means of a crank handle, allowing you to adjust the maximum cutting
capacity to a desired height of anywhere from 5 5/8”to 12”.
The higher setting allows for taller cutting capacities for resawing when needed.When not resawing such as when
doing fine work with tight or intricate curves, keep the upper frame set to the lowest setting possible (depending on
blade lengths you have available) to keep the distance between the upper and lower blade guides the shortest
possible.This helps maintain stability for better accuracy and to limit blade drift and keep the blade from flexing in
or out and drifting off line.
The added advantage of the adjustable height feature is that it allows you the flexibility to adapt the saw to w hatever length blades you have in the shop or that are readily available in your area.
1. Loosen the lock lever .
2. If installed,remove the blade following the instructions
in this manual in the section entitled “Removing/Installing the blade”on page 16.
3. Turn the crank handle - clockwise to raise or count-
erclockwise to lower - until the upper frame is at the
desired height.
Note: The blade length indicator scale on the column is a
helpful reference tool showing the correct height adjustment
required for some of the most commonly available blade
lengths.
4. Install the new longer/shorter blade by following the
instructions in this manual in the section entitled
“Removing/Installing the blade” on page 16.
5. Re-tighten the lock lever .
To adjust the height of the upper frame and extend the
cutting capacity of your bandsaw:
Make sure the bandsaw has been turned off and
unplugged from the power source before performing
any adjustments.

Check if they turn well. If not, the blade will get stuck or jammed between them and will wear prematurely.
To replace the upper/lower blade guides, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen and remove the two Allen bolts , using the supplied 5 mm Allen key. Removing the two bolts will free the
blade guides .
2. Replace the blade guides with new ones and tighten
with the two Allen bolts.

LUBRICATION
Disconnect machine from power source, before
performing any lubrication or maintenance.
Keep the blade guard and upper frame height adjustment rack and pinions as well as the blade tension
adjustment screw and the table trunnion well greased
and free of dust or debris.
Clean and remove dust, debris, and old grease after every
10-15 hours of use. After cleaning, reapply grease as needed. (Use any all purpose grease.)
The motor and all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated – no further lubr ication is required. No other part
of this bandsaw needs lubrication.
To replace the upper thrust bearing, proceed as follows:
3. Loosen the upper thumb screw .
4. Unscrew the upper Allen bolt with the supplied 3
mm Allen key.
Note: Hold the micro adjust nut while unscrewing the
Allen bolt
.
1.
Pull up on the tension lever toward the left (90º
position) to loosen the tension on the blade.
Note: It may be necessary to also turn the tension knob
counter-clockwise for the blade to be loose enough
so you can easily move it out of the way.
2. Open the upper wheel cover door then unscrew
the four Phillips head screws and remove the
blade-guard .
5. Remove the thrust bearing and mounting shaft.
6. Use C-ring pliers to remov e the "C ring" and slide
the bearing off the shaft .
7. Install a new bearing on the mounting shaft
8. Re-install the C-ring.
9. Put the bearing and mounting shaft back in place, re-install the Allen bolt and tighten the upper thumb screw.
10. Re-install the blade-guard.
Note: After the upper blade guides and thrust bearing have been changed, always verify the lower blade guides and thrust
bearing. If needed, replace them, proceeding in the same way as with upper blade guides and thrust bearing.

REPLACING THE WHEEL TIRE
Wheel tires must be replaced if they get worn out or damaged. (If it is worn out, the blade will not track straight on
the wheels.)
Use a flat screwdriver to remove the tire from the groove
on the wheel ,then install a new tire.
Note: When replacing the tires, stretch them around the
wheels but do not glue them on.
ADJUSTING/REPLACING THE LOWER WHEEL BRUSH
The lo
wer wheel is equipped with a cleaning brush that prevents pitch and sawdust build up on the lower wheel tire.
Any pitch and sawdust that builds up on the upper
wheel tire should be removed with a stiff brush or scraped off
with a piece of wood.
Note: To avoid damaging the tire do not use a sharp knife or any kind of solvent to remove pitch build up.
Verify that the brush keeps the lower wheel surface clean
at all times. With use and normal wear over time, the
brush hairs will soften and will not clean the surface of the
wheel as well. You then must lower the brush slightly.
Proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the Phillips head screw .
2. Slide the brush slightly down along the mounting
hole , so that a fresh, s tiffer part of the hairs touches the wheel tire .
3. Tighten the screw to lock the brush in position.
REPLACING THE DRIVE BELT
The lower wheel is driven by one belt mounted on either of the two pulleys powered by the motor.The belt’s tension
should be verified upon reception of the machine, then every 6 months. Slightly push on the belt with your finger.
The belt must not move more than 1/8". If the belt becomes too loose due to wear or if a breakage occurs, you
must replace it.
1. Turn off power and disconnect the bandsaw from the power source to avoid unintentional start-up.
2. Open the lower wheel cover door.
3. If needed, loosen the belt,proceeding as per step 4 in section “Changing speed settings”on page 22.
4. Remove the belt from the groove in the pulleys and install a new one.
5. Having installed a new belt, push down firmly on the motor capacitor cover to tighten the belt, then turn the
ratchet lever clockwise until it is tight and the motor does not move.
6. Close the lower wheel cover door.
