Adjusting Blade Tension - Delta 28-206 Manuel D'utilisation

ADJUSTING THE TABLE STOP
This machine is equipped with an adjustable table stop
(A) Fig. 26 that allows the table to be set at 90 degrees
to the blade.
Tilt the table (C) Fig. 26 to the left until the table stop
(A) Fig. 26 contacts the table. Place a square on the
table against the blade (Fig. 27). If the blade is not 90
degrees to the table surface:
1. Tilt the table slightly to the right and tighten the table
lock knobs.
2. Loosen the locknut (B) Fig. 26 to free the adjusting
screw (A) Fig. 26. Turn the adjusting screw (A) right
or left to raise or lower the table stop, then tighten
the locknut (B).
3. Lower the table. Check the angle with the square.
4. When the table is 90 degrees to the blade, confirm
that the pointer (E) Fig. 26 is set to 0°. If not, loosen
the screw (F) Fig. 26 and move the pointer to 0°.
Tighten the screw.

ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION

Disconnect the machine from the power source!
The machine is equipped with a tension handle (A) Fig.
28. To apply tension, move the tension handle (A) Fig. 28
toward the back. To release the blade tension, move the
tension handle (A) Fig. 29 toward the front.
To adjust the blade tension, move the blade tension
handle toward the back (Fig. 29). A scale is located
on the back of the upper wheel slide bracket. The
graduations on the scale indicate the proper tension for
various widths of blades. With the blade on the wheels,
turn the knob (A) Fig. 30 to raise or lower the wheel until
the red fiber washer (B) Fig. 30 is in line with the proper
graduation for the size of the blade used.
This scale is correct for average work and will not be
affected by rebrazing of the saw blade. Use these
graduations until you become familiar enough with
the operation of the band saw to vary the tension for
different kinds of blades or work.
Over-straining the blade is a common
cause of breakage and/or poor performance. Release
the tension when the machine is not in use.
