Manual Description:Number of Pages: 13 This is a reproduction, not a photocopy, of an original Delta-Milwaukee 14″ Metal and Wood Band Saw Operating and Maintenance manual this covers the Model 890 and more. This manual contains information on set up, lubrication, maintenance, adjustments, and controls as well as a parts list and diagrams. In the 80’s Rockwell revised the parts manual for this band saw, and we’ve included an explosive view diagrams of the parts as well. I also highly recommend the “DELTA Getting the Most Out of Your Band Saw & Scroll Saw Manual”, which we carry. It covers a lot of different set ups and unique uses for these band saws.

I believe this manual will be a valuable resource of knowledge that will provide a lot of helpful information that is often hard to find. My manuals are not photocopies. I maintain a high standard of quality in my reproductions. Most of the manuals I reproduce look better than their originals. I have professionally digitally edited every page, and removed stains, wrinkles and handwriting. All of the manuals are printed on thick white paper to withstand shop wear and tear.Visit our eBay Store!We have over 1,100 manuals available. From our shop to yours. We get this. But you get this!
