Adjusting Blade Square to the Vise
1. Disconnect saw from the power source.
2.
Place a machinist’s square with the long edge against the
stationary vise jaw and the short leg parallel to the table as
shown. The square should lie along the length of the stationary
vise jaw and the blade without a gap.
3. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the bolts holding the
stationary jaw, and line it up with the square. Tighten the bolts.
4. Connect the power source.
Adjusting Blade Tension
Blade tension is important to the proper operation of the saw. The
saw should be set in the “High Tension” range (about 2,300 psi)
when you are finished with the blade tension setup.
To set the blade tension without the use of a blade tension gauge:
1. Install blade onto the pulleys and insert between the bearings
on the blade guides.
2. Loosen the two hex bolts.
3. Tension the blade slightly by turning the knob clockwise (cw), to
remove any sag of the blade between the bearing wheels.
4. Now turn the knob an additional 1-3/4 - 2 turns clockwise (cw).
This equals approximately 2,300 lbs. of blade tension. Use the
Dynametric Tension Band setting as a reference.
5. Once the white indicator line is centered in the blue section, re-
tighten the two hex bolts.
NOTICE: Lifting and Do not overtighten the blade. This
may cause the blade to stretch and warp.
