I was advised by Grizzy to remove the drive belt as a first step in finding out why the machine has begun vibrating when powered up. But I’ve run into a problem. I de-tensioned the belt fully and had no trouble removing the belt from the motor pulley and the arbor pulley, so it sits loosely in the empty space, but I' can't remove it from the machine altogether. Very tight quarters! From what the folks at tech-support have told me, my problem is common. They’ve suggested that I remove the motor – and as a last resort, remove the top. I’d rather avoid those options if at all possible. So I’m writing this note to see whether there are any Woodnetters who can offer any advice. I’d be grateful for whatever suggestions you have to offer. Thanks in advance!
