Attention New Dewalt Scroll Saw Owners

Now there are theorys to both reasons of thinking when it comes to releasing tension. I always got into the habit of releasing when not in use. The thing about releasing the tension on a bandsaw is more prevalent because if the blade is left tensioned it can produce flat spots in the tires that surround the wheels and you then can get a hop when sawing. This has been proven. Saw blades will stretch with use due to heat and tension. So even if you leave your saw tensioned it is possible when you get back to it the blade needs more tension again. It is not that big of a deal to untension the blade and err on the caution side of things.
