MOTOR INSTALLATION

Note: A 1/3 hp, 1725 RPM is recommended for proper operation. Motor pulley should be 2” to 2 1/2” diameter.
Drive belt should be selected to match desired motor mounting position. Pulley and drive belt are included with
the TS8-C only.

•

Place motor pulley on the motor shaft and securely tighten the set screw on at of motor shaft.

•

Install belt and adjust motor to obtain correct belt tension. Do not overtighten the belt as this will lead to

•

excessive noise and premature bearing wear. The belt should not deect more than 1”.

BLADE INSTALLATION

Slip the blade into the saw slot at an angle (Fig. 1) and slide it onto the shaft.

•

Slide the second ange next to the blade and tighten the arbor nut securely (Fig. 2).

•
