I recently bought a Powermatic 209HH. It has been great so far, a huge upgrade over the DW735 that I have been using for the last 5 years but I started noticing a heated plastic kind of smell when it was running. At first I thought it might be a wiring issue but it was actually coming from the belts. I took off the cover and saw that the belts have been shedding small pieces of rubber. Is this a normal thing when breaking in a large new machine (this is the first real beast I've owned) or could there be an issue with how it was set up, i.e. too much tension on the belts? I didn't see any tears or fraying and the machine doesn't make any extraneous noises when it is running.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.
