Identification of parts.

Refer to Figure 1 for the names and functions of the parts.

Please Note that the screws that hold the pulleys in place turn opposite to convention. at is,
you turn them clockwise to loosen, counter-clockwise to tighten.

Guide Pulleys - e Guide Pulleys are responsible for keeping the blade contained and traveling smoothly.
When these pulleys wear, the blade will become sloppy and possibly fall out of contact with the belt.

Idler Pulleys - e Idler Pulleys keep the belt contained. When these wear, they will become noisy. ese
pulleys have a cap over the center to help keep glass dust from entering the bearing. It is important to replace
this cap when installing new pulleys. e lowest Idler Pulley is spring loaded to provide a constant tension on
the belt.

Drive Pulley - e Drive Pulley has teeth that engage the belt, and causes the belt to rotate. e drive pulley is
held to the motor shaft by means of a set screw.

Belt - e Belt drives the blade. When the belt wears, the blade will not be held tightly, and may come off.

Hand Grip - e cut-out in the housing is provided for convenience when using the saw in the hand operated
mode.
