Assemble the heavy-duty steel stand according to the instructions provided in the separate stand manual. Ensure all bolts are securely tightened. The stand provides a stable base for the band saw.

3. Mounting the Saw to the Stand

With assistance, carefully lift the band saw body and place it onto the assembled stand. Secure it using the provided hardware. Ensure the saw is level and stable on the stand.

4. Blade Installation and Tensioning

  1. Mepee mkpuchi wiil elu na nke ala.
  2. Loosen the blade tension knob to allow for blade installation.
  3. Carefully place the blade around the upper and lower rubber-coated wheels, ensuring the teeth are pointing downwards towards the table.

5. Blade Guide Adjustment

Proper blade guide adjustment is crucial for accurate cuts and blade longevity. The saw features upper and lower blade guides.

  • Adjust the upper blade guide assembly so it is approximately 1/8 inch above the workpiece.
  • Ensure the side guides are set close to the blade, but not touching, allowing the blade to run freely.
  • Adjust the thrust bearing (rear guide bearing) so it is just behind the blade, providing support during cutting without constant contact.

6. Table Adjustment

The precision ground cast iron table can tilt from 3° left to 45° right, with a positive stop at 90° for straight cuts.

  1. Mepee eriri mkpọchi tebụl.
  2. Tilt the table to the desired angle. Use a protractor or angle gauge for precise settings if not using the 90° stop.
  3. Tighten the table locking knob securely before operation.

The 1 HP TEFC motor can operate on either 115V or 230V. Ensure the motor is wired correctly for your power supply. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about wiring for 230V. Always ensure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting to power.

8. Dust Collection

Connect a dust collection system to the 4-inch dust port to maintain a clean work environment and improve visibility. The saw's design includes effective dust collection features.

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Delta 28-400 band saw. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.

1. Nhicha

  • After each use, clear sawdust and debris from the table, blade guides, and inside the wheel covers.
  • Use a brush or vacuum cleaner. Do not use compressed air as it can force dust into bearings.
  • Keep the motor vents clear of dust to prevent overheating.

2. Mgbanwe Agụba

Replace dull or damaged blades promptly. Follow the blade installation steps in the Setup section. Ensure the new blade is the correct length (93-1/2 inches) and width for your application.

3. Wheel and Bearing Inspection

  • Periodically inspect the rubber tires on the upper and lower wheels for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
  • Check the blade guide bearings for smooth operation. Replace any bearings that are seized or excessively worn.

4. Table Surface Care

Keep the cast iron table clean and apply a rust preventative or paste wax periodically to maintain its smooth surface and prevent corrosion.
