SELECTING PROPER CUTTING SPEED

Your DELTA® 14" Steel Frame Band Saw has two cutting speeds: low (1620 ft./min )and high (3340 ft./ min). The cutting speed is determined based on which of the two pulley wheels, shown in Figure 13 is in use.

The larger diameter pulley wheel (A) is used for the lower cutting speed while the smaller diameter wheel

(B) is used for the higher speed.

• To change the cutting speed, open the lower wheel guard (C).

• Refer to the diagram and instructions (D) posted on the inside of the wheel guard.

•Reduce tension on the pulley belt using the belt

tensioning knob (E).

•Place belt on the proper wheels and hand turn to ensure it tracks in the center of both wheels.

•	Re-tension pulley belt using the belt tensioning knob.	Figure 13
•	Close the lower wheel guard.
