Tools & Materials
The belt cover allows you to access (and service) the drive belt. The cover can be damaged by something falling on the saw, or by over-tightening the mounting screws (which can crack or break off the plastic mounting posts). Sometimes, the belt cover can be damaged by a failed drive belt, or a loose belt pulley. If damage occurs to the belt cover, it will need to be replaced.
