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.

FOREWORD
The Delta 6" Abrasive Belt Finishing Machine provides fine finishes fast. The 6" abrasive belt operates vertically,
horizontally or any angle in between. The support table on the 6" Abrasive Belt Finishing Machine tilts 45° out and 20°

UNPACKING AND CLEANING
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.
