BELT REPLACEMENT

1.   Unplug the saw.

2.   Turn the saw over and set it on blocks high enough to keep the blade from touching the workbench.  Alternatively, you can retract the blade first.

3.   Remove the old belt by rolling it off the non flanged pulley.

4.   Loosen the two hex socket screws above the motor with the 1/8 inch hex key wrench provided by Dremel.

5.   Move the motor to allow slack for the new belt and snug the screws.

6.   Install the new belt on the flanged pulley first, then roll it onto the non flanged pulley.

7.   Loosen the screws again and remove the slack from the belt.

8.   Snug the screws and remove the new belt by rolling it off the non flanged pulley.

9.   Now loosen each screw separately and move the motor slightly in the direction that tightens the belt, and retighten the screws.

10. Install the new belt on the flanged pulley first, then roll it onto the non flanged pulley.  If you are unable to install the belt, the motor has been moved too far.  Loosen the screws and move the motor slightly in the opposite direction.

11. When the belt is installed, turn the pulley by hand and check to see that the belt does not ride against the pulley flange as this will damage it.  If it rubs, the motor is not aligned with the saw spindle shaft.  This should be corrected by realigning the motor and repeating steps 6 to 11.

BLADE CHANGE

1.   Unplug the saw.

2.   Remove the table insert plate by removing the screw.

3.   Raise the blade to the high position.

4.   Engage the flats on the spindle hub with the 11/16 inch spindle wrench provided by Dremel, or with a thin 11/16 inch wrench.  Rotate the blade until the wrench slips in place.

5.   With the flat end of the spindle wrench held down on the table with your thumb, loosen the blade nut by turning counterclockwise with a 3/4 inch open end wrench.

6.   Remove the nut, washer and blade.

7.   Be sure the shaft, new blade, washer and nut are clean to prevent wobble.  Install the new blade with the top teeth pointed forward (towards you), as indicated by the rotation arrow.  Replace the washer with the cupped side facing the blade.  Bring the nut up snug with the wrench, but do not over tighten, which can temporarily distort the blade and induce wobble.  Blade rotation tends to tighten the nut when the saw is in use.

8.   Remove the spindle wrench and replace the table insert plate.

9.   If the blade does not run true, the most likely cause of wobble is either inadequate cleaning or over tightening.  Remove the blade and check that the shaft, blade, washer and nut are clean.  Removing the blade will release any temporary distortion caused by over tightening.  Reinstall the blade and be sure to bring the nut up snug with the wrench, and no more.  Remember, blade rotation tends to tighten the nut when the saw is in use.
