8.2 Pulley and belt replacement
The motor and spindle pulleys are aligned with each other
by the manufacturer, but if any service is performed that
affects their alignment it is very important that they be
realigned. Engage spindle lock, loosen two set screws on
spindle pulley (E, Figure 35) with 3mm hex key, and slide
spindle pulley into proper position. Retighten set screws,
and disengage spindle lock.
When pulleys and belt are properly aligned, there should
be no unusual pulsing sounds or noise coming from the
belt.
3mm hex key required.
To change out a belt or pulley, carefully proceed as follows.
If you are uncertain about attempting a belt or pulley
change-out, contact JET technical service or take the
headstock to an authorized service center.

or rubber mallet to move it. Do
NOT
use a steel face
hammer directly against spindle.
