GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ THE INSTRUCTION
MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE. Learning
the machine’s application, limitations, and specific hazards
will greatly minimize the possibility of accidents and injury.
2. WEAR EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION. ALWAYS
USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1
standards. Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI
S3.19 standards.
3. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may
get caught in moving parts. Nonslip protective footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.
4. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE IN A DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT. The use of power tools in damp or wet
locations or in rain can cause shock or electrocution. Keep
your work area well-lit to prevent tripping or placing arms,
hands, and fingers in danger.
5. MAINTAIN ALL TOOLS AND MACHINES IN PEAK
CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Poorly maintained tools and machines can further
damage the tool or machine and/or cause injury.
6. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using the machine,
check for any damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or any
other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced with Delta or factory authorized replacement
parts. Damaged parts can cause further damage to the
machine and/or injury.
7. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Your shop is a
potentially dangerous environment. Children and visitors can be
injured.
9. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make
sure that the switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging
in the power cord. In the event of a power failure, move the
switch to the “OFF” position. An accidental start-up can cause
injury. Do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when unplugging
or plugging in the cord.
10. USE THE GUARDS. Check to see that all guards are in place,
secured, and working correctly to prevent injury.

workpiece when practical. Loss of control of a workpiece can
cause injury.
16. FEED THE WORKPIECE AGAINST THE DIRECTION OF
THE ROTATION OF THE BLADE, CUTTER, OR ABRASIVE
SURFACE. Feeding it from the other direction will cause the
workpiece to be thrown out at high speed.
17. DON’T FORCE THE WORKPIECE ON THE MACHINE.
Damage to the machine and/or injury may result.
18. DON’T OVERREACH. Loss of balance can make you fall into
a working machine, causing injury.
19. NEVER STAND ON THE MACHINE. Injury could occur if the tool
tips, or if you accidentally contact the cutting tool.
20. NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN THE POWER OFF. Don’t leave the machine until it comes
to a complete stop. A child or visitor could be injured.
21. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, AND DISCONNECT THE
MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE before installing or
removing accessories, changing cutters, adjusting or changing

in the “OFF” position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
22. MAKE YOUR WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF WITH
PADLOCKS, MASTER SWITCHES, OR BY REMOVING
STARTER KEYS. The accidental start-up of a machine by a
child or visitor could cause injury.
23. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE
COMMON SENSE. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE WHEN
YOU ARE TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS,
ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in injury.
24.
DISBURSE DUST OR OTHER AIRBORNE PARTICLES,
INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST
AND ASBESTOS DUST. Direct particles away from face
and body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and
provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system
wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious
and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a
serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the
dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to
get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote
absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for
the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and
water.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is
completely assembled and installed according to the
instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can
cause serious injury.
2. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or
another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge
is safety.
3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended
electrical connections to prevent shock or electrocution.
4. ALWAYS USE THE PROVIDED BLOTTER AND
WHEEL FLANGES to mount the grinding wheels on
the grinder shaft to prevent wheel damge or accidental separation. Separation can result in fragments flying off the wheel at high speeds.
5. USE ONLY WHEELS suitable for the speed of the
machine. Unsuitable grinding wheels can come
apart, throwing fragments out at high speeds.
6. USE ONLY WHEELS that have a bore exactly equal
to the arbors of the machine. Never attempt to machine an undersized wheel to fit an arbor. Unsuitable
grinding wheels can come apart, throwing fragments
out at high speeds.
7. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN WHEEL NUT.
8. DO NOT USE A WHEEL THAT VIBRATES. Dress
the grinding wheel, replace it, or replace the bearings
of the shaft. Unsuitable grinding wheels can come
apart, throwing fragments at high speeds.
9. INSPECT WHEELS before starting the machine
for cracks or fragments. REPLACE DAMAGED
WHEELS immediately. Parts of the wheel can be
thrown at high speeds causing serious injury.
10. ADJUST EYE SHIELDS close to the grinding wheel,
and re-adjust as the wheel wears down. Flying sparks
are dangerous and can cause fires or explosions.
11. ALWAYS MAKE SURE the eye shields are in place,
properly adjusted, and secured.
12. ADJUST TOOL RESTS close to the grinding wheel
(1/8" separation or less). Tighten the tool rest securely to prevent shifting positions, and re-adjust as the
wheel wears down. The workpiece can be drawn into
the wheel, causing damage to the workpiece and/or
serious injury.
13. STAND TO ONE SIDE before turning the machine
“ON”. Loose fragments or wheel parts could fly from
the wheel at high speeds.
14. NEVER GRIND ON A COLD WHEEL. Run the grind-
er for one full minute before applying the workpiece.
A cold wheel has a tendency to chip. Those fragments could fly from the wheel at high speeds.
15. NEVER START THE MACHINE with the workpiece
against the grinding wheel. The workpiece can be
drawn into the wheel, causing damage to the machine and/or serious injury.
16. CLEAN THE MACHINE thoroughly when processing
different types of workpieces (wood, steel, or aluminum). Combining wood and metal dust can create
an explosion or fire hazard. DO NOT GRIND OR
POLISH MAGNESIUM. Fire will result.
17. NEVER GRIND NEAR FLAMMABLE GAS OR LIQ-
UIDS. Sparks can create a fire or an explosion.
18. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND PO-
SITIONS. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move
into the grinding wheel.
19. KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from
the wheel. The abrasive surfaces can cause serious
injury.
20. HOLD THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the tool
rest. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause serious injury.
21. DRESS THE WHEEL on the face only. Dressing the
side of the wheel could cause it to become too thin
for safe use.
22. GRIND A WORKPIECE using the face of the grinding wheel only. Loss of control of the workpiece can
cause serious injury.
23. NEVER APPLY COOLANT directly to the grinding
wheel. Coolant can weaken the bonding strength of
the grinding wheel and cause it to fail. Dip the workpiece in water to cool it.
24. DO NOT TOUCH the ground portion of a workpiece
until it has cooled sufficiently. Grinding creates heat.
25. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORK-
PIECES. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause
serious injury.
26. NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, or set-
up work on the table/work area when the machine is
running. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move
into the wheel. Severe injury can result.
27. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, disconnect the machine from the power source, and clean the table/
work area before leaving the machine. LOCK THE
SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION to prevent unauthorized use. Someone else might accidentally
start the machine and cause serious injury to themselves.

POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should
be protected with a time delay fuse. NOTE: Time delay fuses should be marked “D” in Canada and “T” in the US. If
an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching
receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the
switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the
machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.
Do not expose the machine to rain or operate the machine in damp locations.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your machine is wired for 120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make
sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor.
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor
to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instruction are not completely understood, or
if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that
accept the machine’s plug, as shown in Fig. A.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than
150 volts:
If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the
machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like
the adapter illustrated in Fig. B may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown
in Fig. B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever the
adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.
In all cases, make certain that the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure,
have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

EXTENSION CORDS
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-1 or D-2, 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.
