To Adjust the Blade Tension
1. Raise the Body Frame (62) to its full vertical
position. Turn the Support Plate (154) to the
right until it firmly locks into the Body Frame and
insert the Locking Pin (158) to lock Body Frame
into position
(see Figure I on page 11)
.
2. Turn the Blade Tension Adjusting
Knob (37)
clockwise
to
increase
tension on the Saw Blade (83).
3. Turn the Blade Tension Adjusting
Knob
counterclockwise
to
decrease
tension on the Saw Blade.
4. Correct tension has been acquired when the
Saw Blade is just tight enough for the Blade
Wheels (41, 57) to grip the Blade and turn it.
NOTE:
Release blade tension when Band Saw
will not be used for extended periods.
To Adjust the Feed Rate
Adjust the feed rate of the Body Frame by
turning the Feed Handle (129)
