    Adjustments [NOTE: Procedures for the model 8014FW and the model 8020FW are identical except where noted.] Blade Removal and Installation Wear leather gloves when removing or installing band saw blades. New blades usually come in a coiled position; to prevent injury, hold the blade with one hand while carefully uncoiling it with the other.

  • Page 12: Blade Tracking

    5. If the blade tracks improperly, use the screws at the back of the saw (Figure 6) to adjust the model 8014FW. Loosen the socket head cap screws as needed to allow adjustment of the set screws.

  • Page 13: Squaring Work Table With Blade

    3. Tighten the socket head cap screws securely. 4. This procedure should be done for both upper and lower guide housings. 5. Open upper door and rotate the wheel by hand until the weld portion of the blade is between the two blade guides. 6.

    Welder Operation Wear eye protection while operating welder. care when handling the blade after welding to avoid burns. The welding procedure involves the following steps: Shearing the blade, grinding teeth to allow for the weld area, the actual welding, inspection of the blade, annealing, grinding and a final inspection of the blade.

  • Page 17: Annealing

    5. Turn pressure knob to “0” position (pointed downward). NOTE: There will be some resistance when turning the knob. 6. Insert one end of the blade in the left clamp (Figure 19). Position the back edge of the blade against the back edge of the left clamp.
  • Page 18 14. Turn the pressure selector knob all the way to the left so the clamp jaws are closest to each other. 15. Insert the blade into the clamps so the weld area is centered between the clamps. Secure the blade in the jaws with the clamp handles.

  • Page 19: Blade Selection

    If the blade is thicker at the weld than at the rest of the blade, using the blade may damage the guides. 20. When grinding, do not hit the teeth, or grind deeper than the thickness of the blade; or burn or overheat the weld area.

  • Page 20: Gage

    Gage Use the standard gage (blade thickness) except when the increased thickness of the workpiece decreases accuracy and width cannot be increased to compensate. Examples of heavy gage applications: 1. When radius cutting in thick materials. 2. When the maximum width usable on the machine still provides insufficient beam strength for the blade.

  • Page 21: Set

    The Hook blade has larger teeth and gullets and a positive rake angle which permits better feed and chip removal. It is useful for both cast iron as well as hard, nonferrous alloys. Variable-tooth blades combine features of the other styles. They generally offer smooth cuts and long blade life, while reducing noise and vibration.
