If you need to release the tension regularly, you could do what I did to
mine.

That's neat. Not sure I can adapt a hand lever to this saw. The tension mechanism is inside the upper casing, a spring loaded hand wheel/screw/adjuster out the top of the casing. What I need is a tension gauge. Right now, I just eyeball or guess at an appropriate tension... fingering the blade laterally.

I release the tension after every use, on the Delta 14", also.

I use this

When done with the saw I just crank it out four turns. When I want to
use it again, just four turns to tighten.

Mine works the same but home made.
