ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR BAND SAWS FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE UNTIL it is assembled and installed according to the instructions. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not familiar with the operation of this tool. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections. USE THE GUARDS WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug.
EXTENSION CORDS Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length.

A B G C ASSEMBLING TABLE TO MACHINE E 1. Locate table locking lever (shown disassembled) Fig. 4, M10 flat washer (B) and 4mm wrench (C). D 2. Using the 4mm wrench (C) Fig. 4, supplied, remove screw (D) and spring (E) from handle (A) and remove handle from nut (G). Do not lose spring (E). Fig. 4 3.
6. Locate pinion knob (N) Fig. 9, spring (O), and special screw (P). N O P Fig. 9 7. Position pinion knob (N) Fig. 10, onto the back of saw so that the teeth on the pinion knob (N) engage the teeth on the trunnion (R). Fasten in place with special screw (P) and spring using the supplied 4mm wrench. R P N Fig. 10 8. Fasten pointer (S) Fig. 11, to the back of band saw using the M5x.8x10mm pan head screw (T). 9. Place locking handle (F) Fig. 4, onto stud (G). Place spring (E) Fig.
ATTACHING LAMP TO MACHINE A 1. Fasten the lamp bracket (A) Fig. 13, to the top cover of the machine, using two M6x1x12mm cap head screws (B) and 1/4" lockwashers as shown. 2. Peel backing from cord clamps (C) Fig. 13A, and apply one clamp at each of the locations shown. Make certain the lamp cord is routed out of the way of the blade, then secure cord (D) to cord clamps (C) as shown in Fig. 13A. B Fig. 13 3. The flexible lamp operates independently of the band saw.
OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS STARTING AND STOPPING SAW The switch (A) Fig. 15, is located on the front side of the band saw. To turn the saw “ON” move the switch (A) up to the “ON” position. To turn the saw “OFF” move the switch (A) down to the “OFF” position. A Fig. 15 LOCKING SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized use. This can be done by grasping the switch toggle (B) Fig.
ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION A B Blades of 1/8", 1/4", and 3/8" in width by 59-1/2" in length are available for use with your band saw. NOTE: The blade tension must be adjusted to accommodate different blade widths in order to provide proper blade tracking, cutting performance, and blade life. C DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. After the desired blade is assembled to the two wheels, turn tension knob (A) Fig. 19, clockwise until spring (B) begins to compress. D Fig. 19 2. Turn tension knob (A) Fig.
ADJUSTING UPPER BLADE GUIDES AND BLADE SUPPORT BEARING IMPORTANT: BOTH THE UPPER AND LOWER BLADE GUIDES MUST BE PROPERLY ADJUSTED TO PREVENT THE BLADE FROM TWISTING DURING OPERATION. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. NOTE: Upper blade guard (B) Fig. 22, is shown removed for clarity. 2. Loosen the two screws (C) Fig. 22, and adjust the blade guides (D) as close as possible to the sides of the saw blade, being careful not to pinch the blade.Then tighten the two screws (C). G H F E B 3.
ADJUSTING LOWER BLADE GUIDES AND BLADE SUPPORT BEARING E The lower blade guides and blade support bearing should be adjusted at the same time as the upper guides and support bearings as follows: F G D DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. C 1. Loosen two screws (A) Fig. 24, and move guides (B) as close as possible to the sides of the blade, being careful not to pinch the blade. Then tighten the two screws (A). A B A Fig. 24 2. The front edge of guide blocks (B) Fig.
ADJUSTING THE TABLE POSITIVE STOPS H Positive stops are provided for the table at the 90 and 45 degree angle to the blade. To check and adjust the positive stops, proceed as follows: G F DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. E 1. Tilt the table to the 90 degree position as shown in Fig. 27, and tighten lock handle (A) Fig. 28. Place a square (H) Fig. 27, on the table and against the blade and check to see if the blade is 90 degrees to the table surface.
CHANGING BLADES To change blades: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. Press in door latches (A) Fig. 34, and open door (B) as shown. 2. Loosen two screws (C) Fig. 35, and remove blade guard (D). 3. Release tension on the band saw blade by turning tension knob (E) Fig. 34 counterclockwise. 4. Remove table alignment screw (F) Fig. 36. 5. Slip the blade off both wheels and guide it out through the slot in the table. 6.
MITER GUAGE (OPTIONAL) B Some Delta Band Saws come with a miter gauge. If your machine has a miter gauge, you can adjust it up to 45 degrees, right and left. Loosen the lock knob (A), rotate the miter gauge body (B) and tighten the lock knob (A). A Fig. 38 illustrates a typical cross-cutting operation using the accessory miter gauge. Notice how the upper blade guide assembly is set slightly above the work surface. Fig.
Fig. 40 Fig. 40 illustrates a typical bevel cutting operation using the accessory miter gage. Fig. 41 Fig. 41 illustrates a typical resawing application using the accessory rip fence.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE In spite of how well a band saw is maintained, problems can occur. The following troubleshooting guide will help you solve the more common problems: Trouble: SAW WILL NOT START. Probable Cause Remedy 1. Saw not plugged in. 1. Plug in saw. 2. Fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped. 2. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. 3. Cord damaged. 3. Have cord replaced. Trouble: BREAKER KICKS OUT FREQUENTLY. Probable Cause Remedy 1. Extension cord too light or too long. 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (CONTINUED) Trouble: BLADE WILL NOT TRACK. Probable Cause Remedy 1. Blade too loose 1. Adjust tension 2. Upper wheel not properly adjusted. 2. Adjust upper wheel. 3. Improperly adjusted blade support bearing. 3. Adjust blade support bearing. Trouble: CUT DOES NOT AGREE WITH SETTING ON THE TILT SCALE. Probable Cause Remedy 1. Pointer out of adjustment 1. Adjust pointer. Trouble: BLADE WILL NOT STAY ON WHEEL. Probable Cause Remedy 1. Blade not tensioned properly. 1.
BAND SAW BLADES A band saw blade is a delicate piece of steel that is subjected to tremendous strain. You can obtain long use from a band saw blade if you use it properly. Be sure you use blades of the proper thickness, width and temper for the various types of material and cuts. Always use the widest blade possible. Use narrow blades only for sawing small, abrupt curves and for fine, delicate work. This will save blades and will produce better cuts.
