Blade Tension
Proper blade tension is essential to long blade life,
straight cuts, and efficient cutting.
Two major signs that you do not have proper
blade tension are: 1) the blade stalls in the cut and
slips on the wheels, and 2) the blade frequently
breaks from being too tight.
To tension the blade on the bandsaw:
1. Make sure the blade is tracking properly.
2. UNPLUG THE BANDSAW!
3. Slide the blade guides as far apart as they
will go, then tighten them down again.
4. Turn the tension knob clockwise to tighten
the blade, or counterclockwise to loosen the
blade.
Note: To fine tune blade tension, use a
blade tensioning gauge, like the one found in
SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES on Page 24.
Please follow the instructions included with
your gauge and the blade manufacturer's
recommendations on blade tension.
