saw band. The correct belt tension is reached
when the slip clutch in the star knob (9)
responds and there is no more visible belt
tensioning.

The belt tension is preset at the factory
via a slip clutch. To check, you can
measure the distance "X" between the
base plate and any edge on the lower
swiveling band guide when you change
the saw band. When you turn the star
knob (9), the distance "X" must be
reduced by at least 4 mm [0.16 in] to a
maximum of 6 mm [0.24 in] until the slip
clutch engages.
