You pretty much have it, but a picture is worth a thousand words (unless it involves someone wealthy doing something wrong, then you can name your price...)

The motor on my contractor's saw is now resting against the stop rather than completely hanging from the belt. That is wrong isn't it; the belt is supposed to be holding it up, right?



I presume it has stretched a bit and I have to take a link out. It looks like you just twist an inside tab and push it through the hole, take a link out, and reverse. But sometimes thing are more complicated than they look. So, how do I shorten the belt?



I don't know the brand, but it is red. Thanks.

What ever you do, make sure you take out the weakest link!
