Getting your Delta table saw up and running again is easy once you’ve mastered the proper troubleshooting techniques. In this article, we’ll look at the parts list, GFCI circuit, and positive stops. If none of those are the cause of your problem, you’ll know what to look for. Read on to learn more. We’ll also look at the parts diagram and how to adjust them.
Drive belt
The most common cause of drive belt trouble with the Delta table saw 36-600 is that the saw blade doesn’t roll easily. If you have an older Delta contractor saw, you may want to replace the drive belt. While the replacement cost is relatively high, you can save half a hundred dollars by purchasing the replacement belt at a power transmission/bearing store. Older Delta Contractor saws used an induction motor hanging out the back and standard V belt. These saws were reliable and quiet, but required you to remove the arbor.
First, check the electrical outlet. If you can’t start the motor, the power supply or on/off switch is faulty. If the table saw will not start after resetting the power cord or overload, it may be the power supply or a faulty drive motor. If none of these steps works, then you may need to replace the drive motor or power cord. You can also check the circuit breaker to see if it is tripped.
GFCI circuits
When using a delta table saw, make sure to always check that there are no tripping hazards. The rip fence should be set so that no material can get caught between the rip fence and table surface. The delta table saw comes with a safety manual for your convenience. It is also important to use an extension cord with the proper plugs, GFCI circuits, and receptacles.
Positive stops
The positive stops on your Delta table saw 36-600 allow you to adjust the blade’s angle from 90 degrees to 45 degrees. To adjust them, disconnect the power source and turn the handwheel that tilts the blade counterclockwise. To check if the blade is at 90 degrees, place the square (A) against the edge of the saw blade. If it is, adjust the positive stops. If not, the blade may tilt too far from the table or not be level.
Extension cord
If you want to extend the life of your table saw, you need to purchase an Extension Cord for Delta tablesaw 36-600. This three-wire cord supplies electricity to the table saw motor. The manual comes with a chart indicating the right cord size. Generally, you should use cords that are 12 AWG or 10 AWG. Keep the cord length short and use it on a dedicated breaker to avoid overloading the device.
When purchasing an extension cord for your tablesaw, make sure to choose one that has been rated for the tool’s current. The correct cord should be heavy-duty, but not too heavy. The extension cord should also have a grounding plug. It should be heavy enough to carry the power of the saw, and should be rated for 50 feet or less. If you need to run the extension cord for longer distances, get the next larger-sized one.
Another important consideration is voltage. If you’re running the saw on 120 volts, the voltage drop across the motor’s windings will be greater than that on 240 v. This reduces the saw’s “back EMF” or efficiency. It also increases heat loss. However, Delta Contractor’s table saws use 240v motors with a lower “Joule heating” loss.
Safety rules
The Delta table saw 36-600 has a new motor with only a few hours on it, but it is already producing smoke when you turn on the reset switch. Is it just a bad motor or a switch? If so, how do I fix it? Listed below are some safety rules for using the Delta table saw 36-600. Remember that you are responsible for your own safety and that of others around you.
The saw blade should be at the highest level. The handle should be raised. The rip fence should be engaged on the rear guide rail. When operating the saw, you should always use the rip fence against the blade. This will prevent the blade from falling into the workpiece. Once you’re ready, follow the safety rules below. After you have set up the saw correctly, you can safely use it. Before starting, check the blade level, raise the handle, and engage the rip fence.
Before removing the blade, disconnect the power source. Always remove the table insert and any rubber washers that may be under it. Next, raise the blade to its maximum height. Make sure not to lose the rubber washers that are attached to the table insert. Remove the arbor nut. Turn the nut clockwise with an open-end wrench. Now, you can change the blade. You can do this as many times as you need to.
