GENERAL SAFETY RULES
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 possibility 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

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
1. All grounded, cord-connected tools:
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 tool 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 instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug, as shown in Fig. 1.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on
a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150
volts:
If the tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that
looks like the one illustrated in Fig. 1, the tool will have a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. 1.
A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in
Fig. 2, may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. 2 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.
3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on
a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 150 250 volts, inclusive:
If the tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. 3, the tool will have
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. 3.
Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should
be used with this tool. If the tool must be reconnected for
use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection
should be made by qualified service personnel; and after
reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING: 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.

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 tool’s plug. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the tool. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Figs. 4A and 4B show 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.
