SETTING BLADE TENSION
The blade tension is set by using the blade tension knob.
It be set prior to initial operation as it plays a vital
role in setup of other features of the band-saw. It should
also be checked when the blade is replaced, and from
time to time as the blade will stretch after prolonged use.
Keep in mind that putting too much or too little tension
can cause either blade break-age (too much pressure) or
poor cutting results (too little pressure).
MUST
1. Set the blade tension by rotating the knob (A).
Turning the knob clockwise increases the tension
while turning the handwheel counterclockwise
decreases the tension. SEE FIG.14
