Using the Blade Tensioner Pump
See Figure 2-10.
Place the provided handle in the blade tensioner socket and secure
with a screw. Set the tensioner valve to the ”1” position. Move the tensioner handle up
and down to tension the blade. Depending on the installed blade type, tension the blade
to the value shown on the decal located below the blade tension valve. The values “F”
and “E” are: blade thickness and blade width. Check the blade tension occasionally when
adjusting the cant control or while cutting and adjust if necessary. As the blade and belts
heat up and stretch, the blade tension will change. Also, ambient temperature changes
can cause tension to change. To release the blade tension, set the tensioner valve to the
”0” position.
CAUTION!
Release the blade tension when the resaw is
not in use (for example at the end of a shift). Tension the
blade again before starting the motor.
