In the event of a power outage (such as a breaker or fuse trip), always move the

switch to the “OFF" position until the main power isFigure12 restored.

USING THE SAFETY KEY TO LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE "OFF" POSITION

When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF" position. This can be done by grasping the Safety Key (A), shown in Figure 12 above, and pulling it out of the switch. With the Safety Key removed the switch will not operate. Should the Safety

Key be removed while the machine is running, the switch can be turned “OFF" once, but cannot be restarted without inserting the Safety Key.

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.
