Yes, tension can be adjusted on the black knob. There is a nylon cap at the tip of the knob inside. After?removing the machine screws, I got access to the nylon cap, just turned it counterclockwise.
I am surprised that your overhead guard does not have the knob. Mine is 2016 KF700sp. Can you post a picture of your overhead guard?

I had the Shark guard on my Unisaw. I liked it, and the dust collection was pretty good. My saw did not have a riving knife, though, so the guard was attached to the table. Every time I adjusted the blade height I had to manually adjust the height of the Shark. That was a nuisance.
I like my Felder overarm guard, even though I would change a few things if I could. James Zhu, is the black knob in your picture part of the guard? Does that adjust the tension? My set-up does not have anything like that.
David Best, my guard has a different set-up. There is a bolt that secures the arm in place. What you did is exactly what I would like to have on mine! -- John Hinman Boise ID K700S and A941
