OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOREWORD
Delta Models 28-293 and 28-299 are 14" Band Saws. These tools are equipped with a 1 HP, 115V 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-belt, blade guides, a wood cutting blade, and an instruction manual.
UNPACKING AND CLEANING
Carefully unpack the tool 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.
ASSEMBLY
STAND
The stand is shipped top-down in the shipping container
with the motor mounted to the inside top of the stand. The
on/off switch is wired to the end of the power cord.
To make the motor operational, do the following:
1. Remove the stand (A) Fig. 4 from the shipping container.
Be careful not to crimp the switch cord that extends through
the top of the stand. NOTE: Set the stand on several blocks
of wood to raise the stand off the floor.
2.
Take the panel (B) Fig. 4 off of the stand (A) by removing
two screws (C) and loosening the two other screws (D).
Remove the panel on the opposite side of the stand in the
same way.

3. Remove the two mounting screws that are holding the
motor (F) Fig. 5 to the top of the stand. One screw is shown
at (E) Fig. 5. IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE THE CABLE
TIE (G) THAT HOLDS THE SWITCH CORD (H) TO THE
VERTICAL MOUNTING BAR (J), UNLESS THE ACCES-
SORY HEIGHT ATTACHMENT WILL BE USED ON THE
TOOL. THE CABLE TIE PREVENTS CONTACT BETWEEN
THE SWITCH CORD AND THE MOTOR PULLEY OR BELT.

ATTACHING MOTOR TO STAND
1. Turn the stand on its side with the two bars (B) Fig. 6
down.
2. Position the motor (C), Fig. 6 on the two horizontal sup-
port bars (B), and fasten with the four 5/16x18 carriage bolts
and flanged nuts, two of which are shown at (D). IMPOR-
TANT: PLACE THE MOTOR SHAFT (E) ON THE SAME
SIDE OF THE STAND AS THE LARGE OPENING AT THE
TOP OF THE STAND (SEE (B) FIG. 8) BEFORE LOOSELY
TIGHTENING THE CARRIAGE BOLTS (D). Further align-
ment will be necessary after the saw is attached to the
stand.
