See Table 3-6. The recommended tension for different blades is shown below.
The tension gauge should be checked occasionally when adjusting the cant control or while cutting.
Ambient temperature changes will cause tension to change. Adjust the tension handle as necessary
to maintain the recommended tension level.
CAUTION! Release the blade tension when the mill is not in use
(for example at the end of a shift). Tension the blade again before
starting the motor.
