Spanish term or phrase: tensar
I'm translating a text on circular sawblades, and I'm having trouble understanding the use of "tensarla" in this context:

"Como en el caso anterior, si el control previo muestra un desgaste normal sin insertos rotos ni daños en el disco soporte) se procede a pulir la sierra, *tensarla* y reafilarla."

I understand the idea of grinding the edge and sharpening the blade, but I can't figure out the middle, as this is a circular saw, not a band saw.

Any help will be welcome. Thanks!

Reference: Tensioning saw

Reference information:
When a circular saw blade rotates, it is subjected to centrifugal forces. A state of tension, which may be defined in the form of radial and tangential stresses, arises in the blade. Of these stress directions the radial stress is the more detrimental because it makes the natural vibration frequency of the blade approach the drive speed of the saw. When the vibration frequency of the circular blade coincides with the drive speed, it increases in amplitude, so that the blade diverges from the sawing direction. To obviate this disadvantage, the vibration frequency has been increased to avoid coincidence with the rotational frequency by prestressing the blade. However, when the outer periphery of the blade warms up and the teeth become blunt, the vibration frequency often causes deformation of the blade, because the sides of the blade touch the timber and friction heats and deforms the blade.
In order to minimize this disadvantage, it has been proposed to stretch the blade near the hub by hammering so that the radial stress due to rotation of the blade may be substantially diminished and excess vibration of the blade avoided. For the same purpose it has also been proposed to tension the blade hydraulically by means of an expanding hub.
