Replacing Drive Belts
(See Figure 13)
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. To remove the air compressor belt , loosen
the two hex cap screws (A, Figure 13) on
the mounting plate and tilt the air
compressor
toward the motor. After
installing a new belt, tilt the air compressor
away from the motor to tension the belt, and
re-tighten the two hex cap screws.
3. To remove the motor drive belt , first
remove the air compressor belt (see above).
Then loosen the two lock nuts (B, Figure 13)
on the motor bracket. Lift up on the motor to
slacken and remove the belt. After installing
a new motor drive belt, push the motor back
down and tighten the two lock nuts.
4. To remove the variator belt , first slide the
motor drive belt off the variator pulley (see
above). Then lift up on the variator pulley
(Figure 13) to slacken the belt.
5. After installing new belts, make sure they
are tensioned properly and all screws or
nuts are re-tightened.
Work Lamp Bulb
The Work Lamp uses a standard medium-base
60 watt bulb (not provided).
Band Saw Operation
Consult “Features and Terminology” on page 7
for identification of the controls.
On the Model 8020FW, Unlock the control panel
using the provided keys.
Never operate the band saw
without blade guards in place and secured.
Blade Break-In Procedure
New blades are very sharp and, therefore, have
a tooth geometry that is easily damaged if a
careful break-in procedure is not followed.
Consult the blade manufacturer’s literature for
break-in of specific blades on specific materials.
The following procedure will be adequate,
however, for break-in of blades on lower alloy
ferrous materials.
1. Use a section of round stock.
2. Operate the saw at low speed. Start the cut
with a very light feed rate.
