HM126 Operator’s Manual

TENSIONING METHODS

With the recommended tension range for milling in mind, the operator can decide how to tension
the sawmill. Choose one of the three methods from below:

14-Jul-2021

Flush Bearing Method

: This method

requires an initial calibration using
Method 1 or 2 to set the tension within
the recommended range.

•

If the bearing is

flush

with the tube

under recommended tension, no shim
washers need to be removed or added.

•

If the bearing is

proud

of the tube

under recommended tension, remove
shim washers.

•

If the bearing is

beyond

the tube under

recommended tension, add shim
washers.

•

Retune approx. every 100 hours.

Torque Wrench Method

: Use a torque

wrench to tension the sawmill each time it
is used. This ensures perfect tension and
is easy to adjust within the recommended
tension range.

This method accounts for wear and
settlement without future calibration.

Count Turns Method

: Spin the tension

handle to remove slack in the blade and
snug the handle up to the thrust bearing.
From this point, 2-

to 3 full turns will put

the blade tension within the recommended
range.

This method accounts for wear and
settlement without any future calibration.
