How to Replace a Drive Belt on a Perform 6" Jointer

Here's how to replace the drive belt on a small 6" jointer
such as the Perform CCNP. Before you do any of this, you
will need to obtain the correct belt, which usually requires
time and effort to locate, and will also require the Make,
Model, and Serial Number of the equipment. With correct belt
in hand, follow these instructions for replacement.

Steps

1. Unplug the jointer. Invert it on a thick cloth to protect
the blades and the work surface. Underneath you will see a
base plate that covers the bottom and is held in place by
seven screws.

2. Remove all of the seven screws and set them aside with
the baseplate. With the baseplate removed, you will see the
power leads running to the main switch and back to the
motor.

3. Remove the hex bolts that hold the motor in place. There
are two on one side of the motor (indicated by purple
rectangles in the picture), and another one on the other
side. Remove them completely to allow the motor sufficient
room to move in order to place the drive belt over the motor
spindle.

If your hex key is not long enough for this job, hold the
key in a pair of pliers or vice grip to remove them.
Now that the jointer is disassembled, this is a good time to
clean all the motor housing thoroughly and lubricate, if
applicable.

4. Lift and rotate the motor and attach the drive belt. The
motor will not easily return to its normal position. In the
picture you can see just how far the motor has been turned
to get the drive belt on.

5. Insert the hex bolts again, deep inside a very narrow
space, whilst using a fair bit of force to hold the motor in
place. This is the difficult part, and you may utter a few
choice words at this point and consider some unauthorized
modifications to the housing.

6. With patience and persistence you should be able to
secure the hex bolts once more and once again have an
operational planer/jointer. Congs.

A long shaft Phillips screwdriver can help a lot when
inserting the hex bolts.
