WARRANTY

Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there
are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will consid­erably lessen the possiblity of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, person­al injury to the operator may result. Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, featherboards, gog­gles, dust masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t make up
for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise caution in the workshop. If a
procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it. Figure out an alternative procedure that feels safer. REMEMBER: Your personal
safety is your responsibility.
This machine was designed for certain applications only. Delta Machinery strongly recommends that this machine not
be modified and/or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you have any questions rela­tive to a particular application, DO NOT use the machine until you have first contacted Delta to determine if it can or
should be performed on the product.

SAFETY RULES

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES

MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY

1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ INSTRUCTION
MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE TOOL. Learn the

tool's application and limitations as well as the specific haz­ards peculiar to it.

2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

3. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

4. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three­prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical
receptacle. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two­prong receptacle, the adapter lug must be attached to a
known ground. Never remove the third prong.

5. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it “on.”

6. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.

7. DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't
use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them
to rain. Keep work area well-lighted.

8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children
and visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.

9. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF - with padlocks,
master switches, or by removing starter keys.

10. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be
safer at the rate for which it was designed.

11. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed.

12. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in
moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.

13. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Wear safety glass-
es (must comply with ANSI Z87.1). Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glass­es. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.

14. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work
when practical. It's safer than using your hand and frees
both hands to operate tool.

15. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times.

16. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

17. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when
changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.

18. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
accessories or attachments not recommended by Delta
may cause hazards or risk of injury to persons.

19. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL START-
ING. Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before plug­ging in power cord.

20. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is acciden­tally contacted.

21. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of
the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function - check for alignment
of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced.

22. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or
cuttter against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.

23. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.

24. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate
tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.

25. MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM
POWER SUPPLY while motor is being mounted, con­nected or reconnected.

26. WARNING: The dust generated by certain woods
and wood products can be injurious to your health.
Always operate machinery in well ventilated areas and
provide for proper dust removal. Use wood dust collec­tion systems whenever possible.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

FOR DRILL PRESSES

1. WARNING: DO NOT operate your drill press until it is
completely assembled and installed according to the
instructions.

2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the opera­tion of drill presses, obtain advice from your supervisor,
instructor or other qualified person.

3. YOUR DRILL PRESS MUST be securely fastened to a
stand, workbench or floor. If there is any tendency for the
stand or workbench to move during operation, the stand or
workbench MUST be fastened to the floor.

4. NEVER turn the drill press “on” before clearing the
table of all objects (tools, scrap pieces, etc.).

5. NEVER start the drill press with the drill bit or cutting
tool in contact with the workpiece.

6. ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from the drill bit
or cutting tool.

7. DO NOT ATTEMPT to drill material that does not have
a flat surface, unless a suitable support is used.

8. AVOID awkward hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause a hand to move into the drill bit or cutting

tool.

9. TO PREVENT ROTATION OF THE WORKPIECE,
ALWAYS clamp work securely to table if it is too short to
contact the column (see “OPERATION” section of this
manual) or when using hole saw or cutting tools larger than
1/2² in diameter.

10. WHENEVER POSSIBLE use clamps or vise to keep
workpiece from rotating with the drill bit or cutting tool.

11. USE recommended speed for drill, accessory or work­piece material.

12. WARNING: The use of accessories or attachments not
recommended by Delta may result in risk of injury.

13. MAKE CERTAIN all lock handles are tightened before
starting the machine.

14. NEVER perform layout, assembly or set-up work on
the table while the drill is operating.

15. BE SURE drill bit or cutting tool is not damaged and is
properly locked in the chuck before operating.

16. MAKE SURE chuck key is removed from chuck before
starting drill press. ONLY use chuck key provided with
your drill press. It is equipped with a self-ejecting pin
which eliminates the hazard of the key being left in the
chuck.

17. ADJUST the table or depth stop to avoid drilling into
the table.

18. ALWAYS stop the drill press before removing scrap
pieces from the table.

19. WHEN drilling large workpieces, MAKE SURE the
material is supported at table height.

20. SHUT OFF the power, remove the drill bit or cutting
tool, and clean the table and work area before leaving the
machine.

21. WARNING: DO NOT wear gloves, necktie, or loose
clothing when operating the drill press.

22. SHOULD any part of your drill press be missing, dam­aged or fail in any way, or any electrical component fail to
perform properly, shut off switch and remove plug from
power supply outlet. Replace missing, damaged or failed
parts before resuming operation.

23. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and
proper operation of this product is available from the
National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca,
Illinois 60143-3201, in the Accident Prevention Manual for
Industrial Operations and also in the Safety Data Sheets
