10. The Saw Blade (56B) tension is adjusted
using the Micro Adjusting Knob (42B) on
the back of the Upper Back Cover (57B).
Turn the Knob clockwise to increase ten-
sion and counterclockwise to decrease
tension.
There is a scale on the Blade Tension
11.
Slider (41B), shown above. Turn the
Micro Adjusting Knob (42B) clockwise
until the top of the Nut (44B) aligns with
the scale marking that corresponds with
the width of the blade. For example, the
included blade is 3/8” wide, so you would
adjust the blade until the top of the Nut
aligns with the 3/8 marking on the scale
for that blade.
note:
Too much tension is a common cause
of Saw Blade breakage and other un-
satisfactory performance. Relieve the
tension when the Bandsaw is not in use.
