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.

OPERATING CONTROLS

The following is an explanation of the operating controls of the Delta 14", 16" and 18" Radial Arm Saws. All users will benefit by knowing how to set and operate the controls for all cutting operations. To avoid the possibility of damage to the machine and/or injury to the operator, all user’s should become familiar with the operations and the controls before turning the machine “ON’.

A - TRACK-ARM CLAMP HANDLE Fig. 4. Controls swing of track-arm for all miter cutting operations. Locks track-arm at any angle for the full 180° rotation. To rotate track-arm, loosen clamp handle and rotate arm. The arm will stop at the 0° and 45° positions right and left. To move the arm past these points the track-arm index knob (B) must be pulled out.

B - TRACK-ARM INDEX KNOB Fig. 4. Locates 0° and 45° miter position, right and left, of the track-arm

C - YOKE INDEX KNOB Fig. 4. Locates each 90° position of the yoke for ripping or cross-cutting operations. When rotating the yoke, the yoke clamp handle (D) must first be loose.

D - YOKE CLAMP HANDLE Fig. 5. The yoke clamp handle must be loose when rotating the yoke to the rip or cross-cut position.

E - ANTI-KICKBACK DEVICE Fig. 4. When ripping, the yoke is positioned and clamped so that the blade is parallel to the fence. The rear of the blade guard is lowered until it almost touches the workpiece. The antikickback rod is then lowered so that the fingers catch and hold the workpiece. Never rip from the antikickback end of the blade guard.

F - ELEVATING CRANK HANDLE Fig. 5. Controls the depth of cut in all operations. Turning the crank handle raises or lowers the over-arm.

G - CUTTINGHEAD CLAMP KNOB Fig. 5. Locks cuttinghead at any position on the track-arm. When ripping the cutting clamp knob must be tight.

H - CROSS-CUT STOP Fig. 5. Prevents unnecessary travel of the cuttinghead on the track-arm. It is especially useful when performing repetitive operations. Clamp the stop to the side of the track-arm at a position which will stop the cuttinghead travel as soon as the blade cuts through the workpiece.

J - BEVEL INDEX KNOB Fig. 5. Locates 0° and 45° and 90° positions of the motor when bevel cutting. When tilting the motor for bevel cutting, the bevel clamp handle (K) must first be loose.
