Extension Cords; Unpacking And Cleaning; Operating Instructions - Delta 28-241 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 under-
sized 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 num-
ber, the heavier the cord.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FOREWORD
Delta Models 28-241 and 28-299A are 14" Band Saws, equipped with a 1-1/2 HP, 120V 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-

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, gaso-
line or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the unpainted surfaces with a good quality household floor
paste wax.
