Either of the above steps should resolve blade tension
problems. If problem still exists:
Rotate arm adjustment knob (Fig 17) clockwise by hand. This
will raise arm and apply more tension to blade.
Attention:
Rotating arm adjustment knob for tension purposes should
only be done if absolutely needed, as it will affect blade
oscillation settings (see chapter 6.7).
6.4 Material hold‐down
Adjust material hold‐down as close to workpiece as possible
without impeding workpiece movement.
For vertical adjustment, loosen knob (H, Fig 18). For
forward/back and angling adjustment, loosen socket head
screw (J).

6.5 Speed control
Rotate speed control knob (D, Fig 1), clockwise to increase
speed, counter‐clockwise to decrease.
6.6 Squaring blade to table
Turn off saw, unplug from power source.
Make sure blade is fully tensioned.
Set blade tilt to "0" (90 degrees).
Use a square piece to inspect (Fig 19).
If out of square:
First check that the set screws (G, Fig 16) protrude evenly into
the clamping area. Adjust if needed.
If blade is still not perpendicular, loosen eight screws (K, Fig 20)
at front and back of saw and adjust trunnion plates.
