Extension Cords; Unpacking And Cleaning; Operating Instructions - Delta 31-080 Instruction Manual

Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which
has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine's plug. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D, shows the correct gauge to use depending
on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FOREWORD
The Delta Model 31-080 Belt/Disc Sander is a handy machine for sanding wood, metal, plastic, or ceramic workpieces.
This machine incorporates a 1" belt sander and a 5" disc sander, and uses an induction-type ball bearing motor for
long-lasting performance. Features include automatic belt tensioning, removable belt platen, built-in dust spout, and a
power take-off for mounting an accessory flexible shaft to do specialized work.
Carefully unpack the machine 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.
