How to adjust the blade alignment on your Delta table saw

• Unplug the table saw’s power cord from the wall outlet.
• Raise the blade to its highest cutting position and lift off the blade guard assembly.
• Loosen the bevel lock, set the blade to 90-degrees (straight up), and then tighten the bevel lock handle. Mark the right side of one blade tooth using a felt-tip marker. Rotate the marked blade tooth so that it's 1/2 inch above the table at the front of the blade.
• Place the base of a combination square in the right side miter gauge groove. Adjust the combination square to that the ruler tip touches the marked blade tooth and lock the ruler.
• Rotate the blade to bring the marked tooth to 1/2 inch above the table at the rear of the blade. Slide the combination square to the rear of the blade and determine the direction and degree of misalignment.
• Adjust the blade. If the blade is partial to the right side, turn the left adjustment screw counterclockwise and the right adjustment screw clockwise to align the blade. Turn the right adjustment screw counterclockwise and the left adjustment screw clockwise to align the blade if it's partial to the left side.

Troubleshooting tips to follow for your Delta band saw when it won't start

A bad power supply, broken power cord, failed on/off switch or bad drive motor can prevent the band saw from starting.

Check the power supply first. Plug a shop light or other electrical tool into the electrical outlet that you’re using for the band saw to make sure the outlet works. If the electrical outlet is dead, reset the house circuit breaker for the outlet. If the outlet still doesn’t work, try using a different outlet to power the band saw.

If the electrical outlet is okay, unplug the band saw and check the power cord for damage. Replace the cord if it’s damaged.

If the power cord is okay, use a multimeter to check for continuity through the on/off switch with the switch turned on (with the band saw still unplugged). The meter should measure near 0 ohms of resistance through the switch. If the meter measures infinite resistance, replace the switch because it’s preventing the drive motor from getting power.

If the on/off switch is okay, check the wire harness connections between the switch and the drive motor. Reconnect any loose wires and repair any broken wires. If the wiring connections are okay, then you’ll likely need to replace the drive motor because it doesn’t run even though it should be getting electrical current through the power cord, on/off switch and wires.
