Blade Tension; Table Tilt - Grizzly G1060 Instruction Manual

Blade Tension

1. Turn the Blade Tension Adjustment Knob
clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to
loosen. Figure 5. Proper tension is difficult to
quantify, but as you turn the knob clockwise,
you will notice when the blade initially begins
to tighten. The moment you feel the blade
tighten, give the knob about another
and then stop. Getting the blade any tighter
than this could snap it or cause unnecessary
strain on the chucks.
2. Once you have achieved proper blade ten-
sion, replace the table insert and safety
shield assembly.
