SETUP
Assembly
The Model W1812 Planer/Moulder is shipped with an
off-the-shelf 48" Power Twist™ Link V-Belt. The planer/
moulder is designed for a 45" V-belt, so the included
V-belt must be modified before installing it.
To remove links, do the following:
1. Count 5 links away from the end of the belt, turn
the belt inside out and squeeze it together where
the 5th link connects, as shown in Figure 7.
2. Twist one of the tabs sideways, as shown in
Figure 8, and push it down through the two layers of
links.
Note: If you have difficulty twisting the tab, you
can use pliers, but take care not to over-twist the
tab or you could damage the belt.
3. Repeat Step 2 with the second tab on the link, but
only pulling that tab out of one layer. The section of
5 links are now removed from the belt.
To connect the belt together, do the following steps:
1. Push the first tab on one end of the belt through the
second slot (the one with two layers) on the other
end of the belt, as shown in Figure 9.
2. Rotate the tab-end of the belt 90°, so the tabs point
the same direction as the other tabs on the belt.
3. Bend the belt backwards (similar to Figure 7), twist
the second tab, and push it through the hole.
4. Turn the belt outside-out and install it on the
machine as described in the owner's manual.
