Note: Do not rely on this setting for other blades or for long periods of time because all blades require specific tensioning and stretch with use. If you notice a decrease in perfor- mance at the setting repeat this procedure.

With extended use, the blade tensioning sys- tem may need to be reset. Refer to Resetting Blade Tensioner in the Service section in this manual for details.
