poor blade tension - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

I have the DeWalt 788 saw, about 5 years old. When new the blade tension was good at about #2 to 3 setting. Now good tension is closer to #4 setting. Any way to reset it?

hi, rick hutcheson's site Rick's Scrollsaw has a tutorial ... go to the site on the left hand column click on "dewalt tune up" then scroll down about 1/3 of the page and its there.
