Add waterproof grease to the threads of the blade tension “T” handle and to the washer face that it
meets before use. Proper blade tension is achieved when a 24mm socket is used on a torque
wrench to tighten the “T” handle to 25 ft-lbs (34 N-m) torque. See the images below.
*Note
– It is very important to take the tension off of the blade by turning the “T” handle in the
counter-clockwise direction when the sawmill is not in use. Failure to do so, will result in flat
spots on the rubber belts. These flat spots will cause the mill to vibrate excessively during
next use.*
Add grease to all “T” handle threads on the sawmill.
