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 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. 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

The models 28-248 28-248F, and 28-475X are wired for 120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. The model 28-248G three-phase unit is wired for 230 volts. Before connecting the any of these machines to the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conduc-tor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with

insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept the machine’ s plug, as shown in Fig. A.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:

If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal screw .

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.

a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

In all cases, make certain that the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you ar e not sur e, have

Fig. 48

TRACKING THE BLADE

Disconnect the machine from the power source!

Before tracking the blade, make sure that the blade guides and blade support bearings are clear of the

blade.

After applying tension to the blade, rotate the wheels slowly forward by hand and observe the blade’s movement. The blade (A) Fig. 49 should travel in the center of the upper tire. If the blade creeps toward the front edge, loosen the wing nut (B) Fig. 48, and turn the thumb screw (C) clockwise. This procedure draws the blade toward the center of the tire. If the blade creeps toward the back edge, turn the thumb screw in the opposite direction. Adjust the thumb screw (C) Fig. 48 only a fraction of a turn each time.

Never track the blade while the machine is running.

Fig. 49

After the blade is tracking in the center of the tires, tighten the wing nut (B) Fig. 48.

VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE UPPER BLADE GUIDE ASSEMBLY

Disconnect the machine from the power source!

2. Loosen the lock knob (B) and move the guide assembly (A) to the desired position.

3. Tighten the lock knob.

Fig. 50

ADJUSTING THE UPPER BLADE GUIDES AND BLADE SUPPORT BEARING

Adjust the upper blade guides and blade support bearings ONLY AFTER the blade has the correct tension and is tracking properly. To adjust:

Disconnect the machine from the power source!

1. Make sure that the bottom blade guides and support bearings are not touching the blade.

2. Check the upper blade guide assembly. The blade guides (A) Fig. 51 should be parallel to the blade. To adjust, loosen the screw (B) and rotate the complete guide assembly (C). When the blade guides are parallel with the blade, tighten the screw (B).

3. Adjust the guides (A) Fig. 52 so that the front edge of the guides is just behind the “gullets” of the saw teeth. The complete guide block bracket can be moved in or out by loosening the thumb screw (C) and turning the knurled knob (D) Fig. 52. When the guides (A) are set properly, tighten the thumb screw.

4. Loosen the set screws (B) to move the guides (A). Place them as close as possible to the side of the blade. (Be careful not to pinch the blade). Tighten the screws (B).

5. When the blade guide wears to a point that it cannot be adjusted close to the blade, loosen the screw (B) Fig. 55 and reverse the blade guides (A) Fig. 52.

6. The upper blade support bearing (E) Fig. 52 prevents damage to the set in the saw teeth by keeping the blade from being pushed too far toward the back. The support bearing (E) should be set 1/64" behind the blade. Loosen the thumb screw (F) and turn the knurled knob (G) to move the support bearing (E) in or out.

7. Adjust the blade support bearing (E) so that the back edge of the blade overlaps the outside diameter of the ball bearing by about 1/16". The bearing (E) is set on an eccentric. To change the position, remove the screw (H) and bearing (E) Fig. 52. Loosen the thumb screw (F) and back out the knurled knob from the set screw. Remove the hex shaft from the hole, and rotate it to move the eccentric for the bearing.

Fig.51

ADJUSTING LOWER BLADE GUIDES AND BLADE SUPPORT BEARING

Adjust the lower blade guides and blade support bearing after the upper guides and bearing have been adjusted.

Disconnect the machine from the power source!

1. Turn the knurled knob (C) Fig. 53 to adjust the front edge of the guide blocks (B) so that they are just behind the “gullets” of the saw teeth. Check the support bearing (D). It should not be touching the back of the blade.

2. Loosen the two screws (A) Fig. 53. Move the guides (B) as close as possible to the side of the blade, being careful not to pinch the blade. Tighten screws (A).

3. Turn the other knurled knob (E) to adjust the lower blade support bearing (D) Fig. 53 so that it is about 1/64" behind the back of the blade.

Fig. 53

MACHINE USE

Before starting the machine, ensure that all adjustments are properly made and the guards are in place. Turn the upper wheel by hand to make sure that everything is correct BEFORE turning on the power.

Keep the top blade guide (and guard) within 1/8" of the work piece at all times. Do not force the material against the blade. Light pressure on the work piece will produce a smoother cut, and prevent excess friction and heating of the blade.

KEEP THE SAW BLADE SHARP. Very little forward pressure is required for normal cutting. Keep the workpiece

moving at a slow and consistent rate against the blade to ensure a smooth and accurate cut. Avoid twisting the blade, by trying not to turn sharp corners. Remember, you must saw around corners.

CUTTING CURVES

When cutting curves, turn the stock carefully so that the blade follows without twisting. If a curve is so abrupt that it is necessary to repeatedly back up and cut a new kerf, then a narrower blade, a blade with more set, or additional relief cuts Fig. 54 may be necessary to allow the blade to cut more efficiently. The more set a blade has, the easier it will allow the stock to be turned, but the cut is usually rougher.

When withdrawing the piece being cut, changing the cut, or for any other reason, be careful not to accidentally draw the blade off the wheels. In most cases, it is easier and safer to turn the stock and saw out through the waste material, rather than try to withdraw the stock from the blade.

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 to 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. For cutting wood and similar materials, Delta offers blades in widths of 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4".

Any one of a number of conditions may cause a band saw blade to break. Blade breakage is, in some cases, unavoidable, because of the peculiar stresses to which blades are subjected. Blades will break often due to avoidable causes, such as the lack of care to the blade or the blade not being properly adjusted to the band saw. The most common causes of blade breakage are:

(1) faulty alignments and adjustments of the guides. (2) forcing or twisting a wide blade around a curve of short radius. (3) feeding the work piece too fast into the blade. (4) dullness of the teeth, or absence of sufficient set. (5) improperly tensioned blade. (6) top guide set too high above the work piece being cut. (7) using a blade with a lumpy or improperly finished braze or weld. (8) continuous running of the saw blade when not cutting. Use blades that are 93-1/2" long on this machine. Always use a sharp blade. Keep it free from gum and pitch. Clean frequently with a stiff fiber brush. Narrow blades are used for cutting small circles or curves while the wider blades are best suited for straight cutting

such as ripping. A new blade, in most cases, will perform better and last longer than a re-sharpened blade. Ensure that the blade guides are adjusted properly. Do not force or twist the blade around a curve or a very short radius. Feed the workpiece through the blade at a consistent rate, allow the blade to do the cutting – do not feed the work

piece too fast. Do not apply excessive tension to the blade. The tension is only necessary to drive the blade without slipping on the

wheels. Narrow blades require less tension than wider blades.

MAINTENANCE

KEEP MACHINE CLEAN

Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
