BLADE TENSION INDICATOR ADJUSTMENT
The Blade Tension Indicator Arrow (#8, FIG. 12, A)
should be checked and adjusted the first time the saw is
set up and run, and whenever a new blade is installed.
The blade tension indicator should be adjusted for
blades made from thicker steel, or for overcut/undercut
in length by different manufacturers.
With moderate tension on the blade, loosen the two
adjusting screws with a Phillips-head screw driver
(FIG.12, B). Adjust the blade indicator up/down as
needed and re-tighten the two adjusting screws.
