Keep in mind that too much or too little blade
tension can cause blade breakage and/or poor
cutting performance.
If the band saw is to be idle for a period of time,
release tension on the blade – this will prolong
blade life.
Blade Tracking
Blade tracking has been tested at the factory but
should be checked as the machine receives
use, and after each blade change.
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Move the upper and lower blade guides
away from the blade (see “Blade Guides”).
3. Open the top blade wheel door.
4. Rotate upper blade wheel by hand,
observing the position of the blade as it
rides upon the wheel. The blade should run
next to, but not against, the flange at the
rear of the wheel. Constant contact with the
flange will eventually damage the flange.
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.
[ Model 8020 FW : Use the tracking knob at
the back of the machine, shown in Figure 7.]
IMPORTANT: Tracking adjustments are
sensitive; make them in small increments and
allow the blade time to react to the changes.
6. When satisfied, return the upper and lower
blade guides close to the blade.
7. Close upper door, reconnect Band Saw to
power, and run it for a few moments. Make
any further tracking adjustments as needed,
with the machine disconnected from power.
Blade Guides
Blade guides must be
properly adjusted or damage may occur to
the blade and/or guides.
1. Loosen the two socket head cap screws on
the guide housing. See Figure 8.
2. Position the guide support in accordance
with the width of the blade. The blade
guides must be adjusted far enough back to
clear the blade even during the cutting
operation when the blade is deflected
toward the rear. The front end of the blade
guides should be adjusted approximately
1/8” behind the blade teeth. See Figure 8.
