- Tom:
- It's a b***h to change the belts. Delta has sent me several manuals for
- used equipment that I have bought at no charge, give them a call.
- To change the belts you will (of course) have to loosen the motor and tighten
- with the belts slack. I found getting the used belts off the arbor side
- to be the most difficult (probably should have cut them off!) because
- the belts had flattened in use and did not have enoght clearance between the
- arbor and the saw castings. The new belts went on with no problem at all.
