CAUTION
If the blade is installed with the teeth pointing
upward, the workpiece will tend to pull up from
the table and will lead to vibration or possible
loss of control of the workpiece. (Fig. 17)
5. Move the blade tension lever to "down"
position to tension blade
(Fig. 18a & Fig. 18b).
 Moving the blade tension lever down-
ward should require moderate, steady
pressure only. If heavy pressure is
needed, the blade is too tight. Loosen
tension by rotating the blade tension
lever counterclockwise 1-2 turns, then
reset the tension lever to the "down"
position.
 If the tension lever is in the "down" po-
sition and the blade is too loose, you
can increase tension by leaving the
tension lever in "down" and rotating it
clockwise just until you feel the slack
in the blade removed. Then turn the
tension lever one full turn clockwise.
This amount of blade pressure should
do well for most cutting operations and
blades.
When the blade tension has been properly
adjusted, you should be able to lift up the blade
tension lever, remove and install the blade,
lower the lever and return the original blade
tension.
Install the blade with the
teeth pointing downward.
