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.

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. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it “on”.
5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
6. 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.
7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children
and visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.
8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF – with padlocks,
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
9. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
10. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed.
11. 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.
12.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Wear safety glass-
es. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty. These safety glasses
must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements. Note:
Approved glasses have Z87 printed or stamped on
them.
13. 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.
14. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
15. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
16. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when
changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
accessories and attachments not recommended by Delta
may cause hazards or risk of injury to persons.
18. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL START-
ING. Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging
in power cord.
19. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur
if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
20. 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.
21. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cut-
ter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter
only.
22. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
23. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate
tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
24. MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM
POWER SUPPLY while motor is being mounted, connected or re-connected.
25. 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.
26.
WARNING: SOME DUST CREATED BY
POWER SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING,
AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
· lead from lead-based paints,
· crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
· arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
COMPOUND MITER SAWS
3
1. USE ONLY CROSS-CUTTING SAW BLADES.
WHEN USING CARBIDE TIPPED BLADES, MAKE
SURE THEY HAVE A NEGATIVE HOOK ANGLE. DO
NOT USE BLADES WITH DEEP GULLETS AS THEY
CAN DEFLECT AND CONTACT GUARD.
2. DO NOT OPERATE the miter saw until it is com-
pletely assembled and installed according to the
instructions.
3. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the oper-
ation of miter saws, obtain advice from your supervisor,
instructor or other qualified person.
4. ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the fence and
table. DO NOT perform any operation freehand.
5. KEEP HANDS OUT OF PATH of saw blade. If the
workpiece you are cutting would cause your hand to be
within hazard zone of the saw blade, the workpiece
should be clamped in place before making cut.
6. BE SURE blade is sharp, runs freely and is free of
vibration.
7. ALLOW the motor to come up to full speed before
starting cut.
8. KEEP motor air slots clean and free of chips.
9. ALWAYS MAKE SURE all clamp handles are tight
before cutting, even if the table is positioned in one of
the positive stops.
10. BE SURE blade and flanges are clean and that arbor
screw is tightened securely.
11. USE only blade flanges specified for your saw.
12. NEVER use blades larger or smaller in diameter than
recommended.
13. NEVER apply lubricants to the blade when it is run-
ning.
14. ALWAYS check the blade for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged blade
immediately.
15. NEVER use blades recommended for operation at
less than 5500 RPM.
16. USE the blade guard at all times.
17. ALWAYS keep the lower blade guard in place.

CONNECTING COMPOUND MITER SAW
TO POWER SOURCE
Your new Compound Miter Saw is DOUBLE INSULATED to give you added safety. As a result, this saw is equipped
with a two-prong plug which permits you to use any conventional 120 Volt electrical outlet without concern for maintaining a ground connection.
Before connecting the motor to the power source make sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as
the motor - 120 Volts. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the motor.
CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
REPLACE OR REPAIR DAMAGED CORDS IMMEDIATELY.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your miter saw is wired for 110-120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the miter saw to the power
source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position. The motor provides a no-load speed of 5200 RPM.
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current of the saw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D, shows the correct size to use depending on cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
POLARIZED PLUGS: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
