GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there
are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will
considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored,
personal injury to the operator may result. Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, featherboards,
goggles, dust masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t make
up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense

and exercise caution

in the workshop.

If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it. Figure out an alternative procedure that feels safer. REMEMBER: Your
personal safety is your responsibility.

This machine was designed for certain applications only. Delta Machinery strongly recommends that this machine not
be modified and/or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you have any questions relative
to a particular application, DO NOT use the machine until you have first contacted Delta to determine if it can or should
be performed on the product.

24. THE DUST GENERATED by certain woods and wood
products can be injurious to your health. Always operate
machinery in well ventilated areas and provide for proper
dust removal. Use wood dust collection systems whenever
possible.

25.

WARNING: SOME DUST CREATED BY
POWER SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING,
AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES contains

chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:

· lead from lead-based paints,

· crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and

· arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

THREE PHASE
INSTALLATION

If the motor on your machine is wired for 200V, 230V, or
460V, three phase, the necessary wiring from the starter to
the power should be completed by a qualified electrician.

Permanently connected machines:
This machine should be connected to a grounded metal
permanent wiring system; or to a system having a
equipment-grounding conductor. These connections
should be made by a qualified electrician.

WARNING: IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE

RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

SINGLE PHASE
INSTALLATION

If the motor on your machine is wired for 115 voIt, single
phase, the power cord is equipped with a plug that has
two flat, parallel current-carrying prongs and one longer
round or "U"-shaped, ground prong Which requires a
mating 3-conductor grounded type receptacle, as shown
in Fig. A.

If the motor on your machine is wired for 230 Volt, single
phase, the power cord is equipped with a plug that has
two flat, current-carrying prongs in tandem, and one
round or "U" shaped longer ground prong. This is used
only with the proper mating 3-conductor grounding type
receptacle, as shown in Fig. B.

When the three-prong plug on your machine is plugged
into a grounded 3-conductor receptacle, the long ground
prong on the plug contacts first so the machine is
properly grounded before electricity reaches it.

ADJUSTING SANDING BELT
TENSION AND TRACKING

YOUR MACHINE IS SHIPPED WITHOUT BELT TEN­SION APPLIED TO THE SANDING BELT. BEFORE
OPERATING THE MACHINE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
THAT THE SANDING BELT IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED
FOR CORRECT BELT TENSION AND IS TRACKING
PROPERLY, AS FOLLOWS:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

1. Remove lock knob and washer (A) Fig. 12. Remove
top cover (B).

2. Turn the belt tension handle (C) Fig. 13, clockwise to
increase belt tension. Correct tension is determined by
two things:

(1) The belt should be flat on the platen.

(2) The belt should be sufficiently tensioned to
prevent slipping on very heavy work. For ordinary
work, a tension just sufficient to take the curl out of
the belt is recommended.

3. Loosen tracking lock knob (D) Fig. 14, and while
rotating the belt (F) by hand, tighten or loosen tracking
knob (E) until the belt is running true on the pulleys.

4. Then jog the machine on and off to check further if
the belt is tracking properly. If the belt is leading to one
side or the other, very gently turn the tracking knob (E)
Fig. 14, clockwise to move the belt toward the adjusting
screw and counterclockwise to move the belt away from
the adjusting screw while jogging the machine on and
off.

5. A final adjustment can be made with the motor
running. THIS ADJUSTMENT IS USUALLY VERY
SLIGHT. After the belt is tracking properly, tighten the
lock knob (D) Fig. 14, being careful the adjusting screw
(E) does not turn.

6. Replace top cover (B) Fig. 12.

ADJUSTING TABLE

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

To tilt the table, loosen the table tilting handle (A) Fig. 15,
move the table to the desired angle, and tighten the table
tilting handle. The table tilting handle can be reposition­ed by pulling out the handle and repositioning it on the
hex nut located underneath the handle. Positive table
stops are provided at 90° (A) Fig. 17, and 45° (B) Fig. 17.
To adjust the stops, proceed as follows:

1. Loosen the table locking handle (A) Fig. 15, and lift
the table up to approximately 10 degrees.

2. Flip out stop bracket (C) Fig. 16, and lower the table
until the adjustable screw (D) contacts stop bracket (C).

3. Place a square on the table with one end of the
square against the platen.

4. Turn the adjusting screw (D) Fig. 16 until the table is
at 90° to the platen and adjust the pointer (E) Fig. 15, to
the 0° mark on the angle-of-tilt scale (F) Fig. 15.

5. The same procedure is followed when adjusting the
table to stop at the 45° position as shown in Fig. 17.

INSTALLING OR REMOVING
ABRASIVE BELT

Your machine uses a 6"x48" belt. To install or remove the
belt, proceed as follows:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

1. Remove the idler drum guard (A) and side guard (B)
Fig. 20.

2. Turn the belt tension handle counterclockwise to
reduce belt tension to a minimum. NOTE: It may be
necessary when reducing belt tension that downward
pressure be applied on the idler pulley (C) Fig. 21.

3. The sanding belt can then be easily slipped off or
onto the drums, as shown in Fig. 21.

IMPORTANT: Lapless sanding belts can be run in either
direction. Lapped belts should be installed so that the
work will run OFF the lapped portion of the belt and not
into the edge of the lap. Most sanding belts have a
directional arrow on the inside of the belt to show the
direction of rotation.

AFTER INSTALLING A NEW BELT, THE BELT MUST
BE ADJUSTED FOR PROPER TENSION AND
TRACKING.

Fig. 20

Fig. 21

ADJUSTING THE PLATEN

The platen (A) Fig. 24, is set at the factory 1/32 of an inch
higher than the crown of the drums (B). This allows the
belt, when properly tensioned, to lay flat on the platen
and eliminate stretching and bulging which might occur
if the platen is not at the right height.

When using the machine with a loose belt for
"strapping," the platen is removed and replaced as
follows:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

1. Remove the side cover (B) Fig. 20 and top idler drum
guard (A) Fig. 20.

2. Remove the three screws (C) Fig. 26, that attach the
platen to the machine and remove the platen.

3. When replacing the platen, attach it to the machine
with the three screws (C) Fig. 26. Do not tighten the three
screws.

4. Using a straight edge (D) adjust the platen (A) Fig. 26,
so it is 1/32" higher than the crown of the drums (B),
and tighten the three screws (C).

ABRASIVE BELTS - THEIR SELECTION AND USE

Delta supplies a wide range of belts for use on your Finishing Machine. These belts are recommended for a wide range
of work on wood, metals, plastics and other materials. However, when a large amount of production work of one kind
is to be done, it is best to call in a coated abrasive specialist for specific recommendations.

All materials may be worked on a dry belt. But for professional quality or for production work a low melting point grease
should be used for cooler cutting, better finish, and for longer belt life. Even coarse belts will "load" when grinding
aluminum dry, and so a lubricant should always be used for this material. To a varying degree, this is true of other non­ferrous metals like soft brass and zinc.

A grease stick is often applied to the belt to prevent "loading" of the belt on softer materials especially aluminum. When
grinding steel or some kinds of plastic, the grease stick is often used to prevent over-heating of the work piece. Many
times a single belt is used for both stock removal and for finish, just by lubricating one half of the belt with light grease
for stock removal and the other side or half of the belt with a heavy grease for polishing to bring out a good finish. This
can be done only when the parts are very small and need not be moved across the face of the belt.

When an abrasive belt smaller than 6" is desired, the 6" belt can be split. This can be done by turning the belt inside
out and with a knife or other sharp instrument cut a slot in the belt at the desired width. Then proceed to tear the belt.

CAUTION: ONLY TEAR THE BELT A FEW INCHES AT A TIME ONE WAY THEN REVERSE THE TEARING ACTION.
THIS METHOD WILL REDUCE THE TENDENCY OF THE BELT TO UNRAVEL.

For certain applications, a mist coolant attachment (not supplied by Delta) will be helpful. If the use of a mist coolant
causes the Abrasive Belt to slip on the lower drive pulley, this can be corrected by using a "tire" which can be
homemade by wrapping the pulley with a piece of coated abrasive belt. The grit is, of course, turned to the outside and
cement should be used sparingly to avoid lumps under the "tire."
