OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FOREWORD

Delta Models 28-293 and 28-299 are 14" Band Saws. These tools are equipped with a 1 HP, 115V guarded drip-proof motor inside an enclosed stand. Included with each saw is a push button switch, a blade and belt guard, an arbor and motor pulleys with a V-belt, blade guides, a wood cutting blade, and an instruction manual.

UNPACKING AND CLEANING

Carefully unpack the tool and all loose items from the shipping container(s). Remove the protective coating from all unpainted surfaces. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the unpainted surfaces with a good quality household floor paste wax.

ASSEMBLY

STAND

The stand is shipped top-down in the shipping container with the motor mounted to the inside top of the stand. The on/off switch is wired to the end of the power cord.

To make the motor operational, do the following:

1.Remove the stand (A) Fig. 4 from the shipping container. Be careful not to crimp the switch cord that extends through the top of the stand. NOTE: Set the stand on several blocks of wood to raise the stand off the floor.

2.Take the panel (B) Fig. 4 off of the stand (A) by removing two screws (C) and loosening the two other screws (D). Remove the panel on the opposite side of the stand in the same way.

3.Remove the two mounting screws that are holding the motor (F) Fig. 5 to the top of the stand. One screw is shown at (E) Fig. 5. IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE THE CABLE

TIE (G) THAT HOLDS THE SWITCH CORD (H) TO THE VERTICAL MOUNTING BAR (J), UNLESS THE ACCES- SORY HEIGHT ATTACHMENT WILL BE USED ON THE TOOL. THE CABLE TIE PREVENTS CONTACT BETWEEN THE SWITCH CORD AND THE MOTOR PULLEY OR BELT.
