tension the blade by turning the “T” handle a full turn in the clockwise direction (to achieve 25 ft-
lbs (34 N-m)). Wearing gloves, spin the band wheel with your hand and observe how the blade has

required. The ideal measurement is 3/8” (9mm) or check for the back of the blade to be flush with
the back of the band wheel. Once the blade is tracking true, bring the blade guide assemblies back
up
to the blade. Keep a thick paper width (0.040” or 1mm) distance between the blade guide
bearing and the back of the blade. More information on this can be found in the next section
