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. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your machine has a 5HP motor that is wired at 220 volts and 60 HZ alternating current. It may be wired for three phase or single phase operation - check the spec plate on the motor.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

These machines are not supplied with power cords and they are intended to be permanently connected to the building’s elecrical system. All wiring must be done by a qualified electrician and conform to the National Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances. For wiring instructions, see section “ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS” in this manual.

LVC MAGNETIC MOTOR CONTROL: If you purchased a machine that has a Low Voltage Magnetic Motor Control System, refer to its instruction manual for installation guidance.

22-451, 22-450 specifications

Delta 22-450 and Delta 22-451 are notable models within Delta's commitment to high-performance, precision woodworking tools. Designed for both amateur and professional woodworkers, these tools embody an ideal blend of innovation, usability, and durability.

One of the primary features of the Delta 22-450 is its powerful motor, which delivers reliable performance even under heavy workloads. This model is equipped with a 1.5 HP motor that ensures consistent power, allowing users to tackle various materials with ease. The motor is designed to operate quietly while minimizing vibrations, which enhances user comfort and precision during operation.

In contrast, the Delta 22-451 takes this a step further, boasting a slightly more robust 1.75 HP motor. This feature allows for increased cutting capacity and the ability to work with thicker and denser materials without bogging down. Both models come with a high-quality build, featuring cast-iron bases that provide stability and reduce vibration, further contributing to accuracy in cuts.

Another standout characteristic of the Delta 22-450 and 22-451 is their innovative fence system. Both models utilize a patented fence design that is easy to adjust and lock securely in place, providing users with confidence in their cutting precision. This technology makes repetitive cuts simple and accurate, which is invaluable when working on larger projects.

Additionally, safety is a key focus in the design of these tools. Delta has incorporated various safety features, such as blade guards and anti-kickback mechanisms, to protect users during operation. This attention to safety is crucial, especially for those who may be newer to woodworking or those operating in busy environments.

Furthermore, these models also feature a dust collection system that maintains a clean workspace. The integrated ports allow for connection to dust extraction systems, ensuring that the work environment remains clear of debris, which not only keeps the workspace safer but also improves visibility for more accurate work.

In summary, the Delta 22-450 and 22-451 are exceptional tools designed for both professional woodworkers and dedicated hobbyists. With powerful motors, advanced fence systems, robust safety features, and effective dust collection, these models are engineered to enhance the woodworking experience and deliver superior results. Their blend of reliability and innovative technology makes them worthwhile investments for anyone serious about woodworking.
