Assembly Instructions
2. Tensioning the blade (See Fig. B1, B2)
CAUTION!
Remove the tension from the blade if the bandsaw is not going to be used for
some time. Be sure to re-tension the blade before you start the tool.
Turn the Tightening Screw (9) for tensioning the blade (26) in a clockwise direction. (See
Fig. B1)
The correct blade tension can be checked by applying pressure to the side of the blade with
your finger, somewhere in the middle between the two Blade Pulleys (7 + 8). You should
only be able to bend the blade (26) very slightly (approx. 1-2mm). (
See Fig B2)
IMPORTANT!
The blade may break if the tension is too high. BEWARE OF INJURY! If the
tension is too low, the powered Blade Pulley (7) will spin while the blade does not move.
