3.4 Tensioning the Blade
See Figure 3-1.
A wrench for tensioning the blade is located at the rear of the saw head. Place the wrench on the
tensioner screw. Turn the tensioner screw right until the tension indicator is in the middle of the notch
indicating the correct tension.
CAUTION! Release the blade tension after you have finished using the
sawmill (e.g. after each shift). Place information on the machine for
other operators that it is necessary to tension the blade again before
further sawmill operation.
