[] Turn off and unplug the saw. Remove the switch key.

[] Before using the band saw, turn the blade tension knob on the top of the saw clockwise to engage tension.

[] To check tension, raise the blade guide assembly a(l the way up to expose the blade.

[] Push the blade to the side w(th moderate force; the blade should flex approx(mately 1,/8 in.

NOTE: Adjustments of blade tension can be made at anytime.

Another method of checking blade tension has to do with the sound the blade makes when plucked like a guitar str(ng.

[] Pluck the back straight edge on the coasting side

opposite the blade guides while turning the tension knob. Sound should be a musical note. Sound

becomes h(gher pitched as tension increases.

Using either method to check blade tension can be developed with practice.

[] Never increase blade tension so tight as to completely compress the spring. When completely compressed, the spr(ng can no longer act as a shock absorber.

NOTE: Too much tension may cause the Made to break. Too little tens(on may cause the blade to sl(p on the wheels.
