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. For additional information please visit our website www

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

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 PROTECTION. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. 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, and dust mask protection should comply with MSHA/NIOSH certified respirator standards. Splinters, air-borne debris, and dust can cause irritation, injury, and/or illness.

3. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip 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. 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.

10. USE THE GUARDS. Check to see that all guards are in place, secured, and working correctly to prevent injury.

11. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE. Tools, scrap pieces, and other debris can be thrown at high speed, causing injury.

12. USE THE RIGHT MACHINE. Don’t force a machine or

an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Damage to the machine and/or injury may result.

13. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of

accessories and attachments not recommended by Delta may cause damage to the machine or injury to the user.

14. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure

your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. See the Extension Cord Chart for the correct size depending on the cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

15. SECURE THE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold

the 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, before adjusting or changing set-ups, or when making repairs. An accidental startup 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. 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.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR CONTRACTOR SAW

1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is assembled and installed according to the

instructions.

2. OBTAIN ADVICE FROM YOUR SUPERVISOR, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not familiar with the operation of this machine.

3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections.

4. USE THE GUARDS WHENEVER POSSIBLE. Check to see that they are in place, secured, and working correctly.

5. KICKBACK IS THE NATURAL TENDENCY OF THE

WORKPIECE TO BE THROWN BACK AT THE OPERATOR when the workpiece initially contacts the

blade or if the workpiece pinches the blade. Kickback is dangerous and can result in serious injury.

AVOID KICKBACK by:

A. keeping blade sharp and free of rust and pitch. B. keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade. C. using saw blade guard and spreader for every

possible operation, including all through sawing.

D. pushing the workpiece past the saw blade prior to

release.

E. never ripping a workpiece that is twisted or

warped, or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.

F. using featherboards when the anti-kickback device

cannot be used.

G. never sawing a large workpiece that cannot be

controlled.

H. never using the fence as a guide when

crosscutting.

I. never sawing a workpiece with loose knots or other

flaws.

6. ALWAYS USE GUARDS, SPLITTER, AND ANTI- KICKBACK FINGERS whenever possible.

7. REMOVE CUT-OFF PIECES AND SCRAPS from the table before starting the saw. The vibration of the machine may cause them to move into the saw blade and be thrown out. After cutting, turn the machine off. After the blade has come to a complete stop, remove

all debris.

8. NEVER START THE MACHINE with the workpiece against the blade.

9. NEVER run the workpiece between the fence and a moulding cutterhead.

10. CUTTING THE WORKPIECE WITHOUT THE USE OF

A FENCE OR MITER GAUGE IS KNOWN AS “FREEHAND” CUTTING. NEVER perform “free-hand”

operations. Use either the fence or miter gauge to position and guide the workpiece.

11. HOLD THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the miter

gauge or fence.

12. CUTTING COMPLETELY THROUGH THE WORK-

PIECE IS KNOWN AS “THROUGH-SAWING”.

Ripping and cross-cutting are through-sawing operations. Cutting with the grain (or down the length of the workpiece) is ripping. Cutting across the grain (or across the workpiece) is cross-cutting. Use a fence or fence system for ripping. DO NOT use a fence or fence system for cross-cutting. Instead, use a miter gauge. USE PUSH STICK(S) for ripping a narrow workpiece.

13. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the blade.

14. KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the blade.

15. NEVER have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade.

16. NEVER REACH AROUND or over the saw blade.

17. NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the machine “OFF”.

18. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE workpieces.

19. NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, assembly or set-up work on the table/work area when the machine is running.

20. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF” AND DISCONNECT THE MACHINE from the power source before installing or removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups, or when making repairs.

21. 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.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

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 equipmentgrounding 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 equipmentgrounding 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 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 THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

RIP FENCE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS

The rip fence can be used on either side of the saw blade. The most common location is on the right side and is guided by means of guide rails which are fastened to the front and rear of the table.

1. To move the rip fence, raise the lock handle (A) Fig. 51, as far as it will go and move the fence to the desired position on the table. When the lock handle (A) Fig. 53, is pushed down to approximately 45 degrees, clamping action on the rip fence (B) should be adequate. However, if the clamping action is too loose or too tight, an adjustment can be made by equally tightening or loosening two screws (D) Fig. 52 as necessary. NOTE: It will be necessary to remove the cursor (J) Fig. 54, to make this adjustment

IMPORTANT: THE BLADE FLANGE IS SET PARALLEL TO THE MITER GAGE SLOT AT THE FACTORY AND THE RIP FENCE MUST BE PROPERLY ALIGNED TO THE MITER GAGE SLOT AND SAW BLADE IN ORDER TO PREVENT “KICKBACK” WHEN RIPPING.

Fig. 51

ASSEMBLING SCALE TO GUIDE RAIL

1. Raise lock handle (A) Fig. 51, and slide rip fence (B) against one edge of the miter gage slot (C) as shown. Clamp the fence onto the guide rail by pushing down on lock handle (A). The edge of the fence (B) Fig. 51, should be parallel to the edge of the miter gage slot. If an adjustment is necessary, tighten or loosen either of two screws (D) Fig. 52, as necessary until rip fence (B) is parallel to the miter gage slot and locks in place with minimal force on handle (A) Fig. 51.

2. Once the rip fence is aligned with the miter gage slot, raise the saw blade (E) to its highest position as shown in Fig. 53. Slide rip fence (B) against the saw blade (E) and lock the fence in that position by pushing down on handle (A).

3. Partially remove the backing (F) Fig. 54, from scale (G) as shown. Position scale under cursor (H) until “zero” mark on the scale (G) is directly under the cursor line (J). Lightly press down on scale (G) so it adheres to guide rail (K).

2. Position the fence (B) Fig. 56, along one edge of the miter gage slot (F) as shown and lock the fence in that position. The edge of the fence (B) Fig. 56, should line up parallel to the miter gage slot (F). If an adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:

3. Using a square (G) Fig. 57, and a straight edge (H), check to see if the rip fence (B) is perpendicular to the saw table and that the rip fence body is level with the saw table. If a perpendicular adjustment is necessary, tighten or loosen either of two screws (K) Fig 57 until the fence is perpendicular and level with the saw table.

4. If a parallel adjustment is necessary, tighten or loosen either of two screws (D) Fig. 57A until the fence (B) is parallel to the miter gage slot. NOTE: It will be necessary to remove the cursor (D) Fig. 58, to make this adjustment. Readjust the clamping action on the fence; if necessary, refer to STEP 1. Re-assemble the cursor.

IMPORTANT: THE RIP FENCE MUST BE PERPENDICULAR TO AND LEVEL WITH THE SAW TABLE.

5. Depending on the type of saw blade being used, the cursor (D) Fig. 58, may need adjustment to compensate for the blade thickness.To adjust the cursor, make a test cut on a piece of lumber and measure the finished cut, or you can place the rip fence against the blade as shown earlier in the manual. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen two screws (E) Fig. 58, and move the cursor (D) as necessary and tighten securely.

tighten screw (H) after adjustment is made.

Page 27

COMMON SAWING OPERATIONS

CROSS-CUTTING

Cross-cutting requires the use of the miter gage to position and guide the work. Place the work against the miter gage and advance both the gage and work toward the saw blade, as shown in Fig. 73. The miter gage may be used in either table slot. When bevel cutting (blade tilted), use the table groove that does not cause interference of your hand or miter gage with the saw blade guard.

Start the cut slowly and hold the work firmly against the miter gage and the table. One of the rules in running a saw is that you never hang onto or touch a free piece of work. Hold the supported piece, not the free piece that is cut off. The feed in cross-cutting continues until the work is cut in two, and the miter gage and work are pulled back to the starting point. Before pulling the work back, it is good practice to give the work a little sideways shift to move the work slightly away from the saw blade. Never

pick up any short length of free work

from the table while the saw is running. Never

touch a

cut-off piece unless it is at least a foot long.

For added safety and convenience the miter gage can be fitted with an auxiliary wood-facing (C), as shown in Fig. 74, that should be at least 1 inch higher than the maximum depth of cut, and should extend out 12 inches or more to one side or the other depending on which miter gage slot is being used. This auxiliary wood-facing (C) can be fastened

to the front of the miter gage by using two wood screws (A) through the holes provided in the miter gage body and into the wood-facing.

NEVER USE THE FENCE AS A CUT-OFF

GAGE WHEN CROSS-CUTTING.

When cross-cutting a number of pieces to the same length, a block of wood (B) Fig. 75 can be clamped to the fence and used as a cut-off gage as shown in Fig. 75. It is important that this block of wood always be positioned in front of the saw blade as shown. Once the cut-off length is determined, secure the fence and use the miter gage to feed the work into the cut. This block of wood allows the cut-off piece to move freely along the table surface without binding between the fence and the saw blade, thereby lessening the possibility of kickback and injury to the operator.

When using the block (B) Fig. 75, as a cutoff gage, it is very important that the rear end of the block be positioned so the work piece is clear of the block before it enters the blade.

Common sawing operations include ripping and crosscutting plus a few other standard operations of a fundamental nature. As with all power machines, there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the operation and use of the machine. Using the machine with the respect and caution demanded as far as safety precautions are concerned, will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or completely ignored, personal injury to the operator can result. The following information describes the safe and proper method for performing the most common sawing operations.

THE USE OF ATTACHMENTS AND ACCESSORIES NOT RECOMMENDED BY DELTA MAY RESULT

IN THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE USER OR OTHERS.

Fig. 73

Fig. 74

Fig. 75

Page 28

Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a board. The rip fence (A) Fig. 76 is used to position and guide the work. One edge of the work rides against the rip fence while the flat side of the board rests on the table. Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a straight edge and make solid contact with the table.

The saw blade guard must be used. On Delta saws, the guard has anti-kickback fingers to prevent

kickback and a splitter to prevent the wood kerf from closing and binding the blade.

1. Start the motor and advance the work holding it down and against the fence. Never stand in the line of the saw cut when ripping. Hold the work with both hands and push it along the fence and into the saw blade (Fig. 76). The work can then be fed through the saw blade with one or two hands. After the work is beyond the saw blade and anti-kickback fingers, the hand is removed from the work. When this is done the work will either stay on the table, tilt up slightly and be caught by the end of the rear guard, or slide off the table to the floor. Alternately, the feed can continue to the end of the table, after which the work is lifted and brought along the outside edge of the fence. The cut-off stock remains on the table and is not touched until the saw blade has stopped, unless it is a large piece allowing safe removal. When ripping boards longer than three feet, use a work support at the rear of the saw to keep the workpiece from falling off the saw table.

2. If the ripped work is less than 4 inches wide, a push stick should always be used to complete the feed, as shown in Fig. 77. The push stick can easily be made from scrap material as explained in the section

“CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK.”

3. Ripping narrow pieces can be dangerous if not done carefully. Narrow pieces usually cannot be cut with the guard in position. If the workpiece is short enough, use a pushboard. When ripping material under 2 inches in width, a flat pushboard is a valuable accessory since ordinary type sticks may interfere with the blade guard. When using a pushboard, the width of the pushboard must be added to the width of the rip fence position setting. A flat pushboard can be constructed as shown in Fig. 79 and should be used as shown in Fig. 78. NOTE: Some special operations (when using the moulding cutterhead) require the addition of an auxiliary wood facing to the fence, as explained in the section

“USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE” and use of a push stick.

USING MOULDING CUTTERHEAD

Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the work. Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead is a fast, safe and clean operation.The many different knife shapes available make it possible for the operator to produce almost any kind of mouldings, such as various styles of corner moulds, picture frames, table edges, etc.

The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can be mounted various shapes of steel knives, (Fig. 80). Each of the three knives in a set is fitted into a groove in the cutterhead and securely clamped with a screw. The knife grooves should be kept free of sawdust which would prevent the cutter from seating properly.

FOR CERTAIN CUTTING OPERATIONS (DADOING AND MOULDING) WHERE THE WORKPIECE IS NOT CUT COMPLETELY THROUGH, THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY CANNOT BE USED. LOOSEN SCREWS (G) AND (H) FIG. 81. LIFT UP AND SWING BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY (W) FIG. 82 TO THE REAR OF THE SAW AND RETIGHTEN(H).

USE PUSHSTICKS, HOLD-DOWNS, JIGS, FIXTURES, OR FEATHERBOARBS TO HELP GUIDE AND CONTROL THE WORKPIECE WHEN THE GUARD CANNOT BE USED.

NOTE: THE OUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGE CAN NOT BE USED WITH THE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD. TIGHTEN THE ARBOR NUT AGAINST THE CUTTERHEAD BODY. DO NOT LOSE THE OUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGE. IT WILL BE NEEDED WHEN REATTACHING A BLADE TO THE ARBOR.

ALWAYS RETURN AND FASTEN THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY TO ITS PROPER OPERATING POSITION FOR NORMAL THRU-SAWING OPERATIONS AS SHOWN IN FIG. 28 AND 29.

1. A moulding cutterhead (A) Fig. 83 is shown assembled to the saw arbor. Also, the accessory moulding cutterhead table insert (B) must be used in place of the standard table insert.

2. When using the moulding cutterhead, add woodfacing (C) Fig. 84 to the face of the rip fence. The woodfacing is attached to the fence with wood screws through holes which must be drilled in the fence. Stock that is 3/4″ inch thick is suitable for most work, although an occasional job may require 1 inch facing.

3. Position the wood-facing over the cutterhead with the cutterhead below the surface of the table. Turn the saw on and raise the cutterhead. The cutterhead will cut its own groove in the wood-facing. Fig. 84 shows a typical moulding operation.

NEVER USE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD IN A BEVEL POSITION.

NEVER RUN THE STOCK BETWEEN THE FENCE AND THE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD. IRREGULAR SHAPED WOOD WILL CAUSE KICKBACK.

1. Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the work. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside saws and four or five inside cutters, (Fig. 85). Various combinations of saws and cutters are used to cut grooves from 1/8" to 13/16" for use in shelving, making joints, tenoning, grooving, etc. The cutters are heavily swaged and must be arranged so that this heavy portion falls in the gullets of the outside saws, as shown in Fig.

86. The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig. 87, (A) being the outside saw, (B) an inside cutter, and (C) a paper washer or washers, used as needed to control the exact width of groove. A 1/4" groove is cut by using the two outside saws. The teeth of the saws should be positioned so that the raker on one saw is beside the cutting teeth on the other saw.

2. Attach the dado head set (D) Fig. 88, to the saw arbor.

NOTE: THE OUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGE CAN NOT BE USED WITH THE DADO HEAD SET, TIGHTEN

THE ARBOR NUT AGAINST THE DADO HEAD SET BODY. DO NOT LOSE THE OUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGE. IT WILL BE NEEDED WHEN REATTACHING A BLADE TO THE ARBOR.

THE ACCESSORY DADO HEAD SET TABLE INSERT (E) FIG. 88, MUST BE USED IN PLACE OF THE STANDARD TABLE INSERT.

3. Fig. 89, shows a typical dado operation using the miter gage as a guide.

NEVER USE THE DADO HEAD IN A BEVEL POSITION.

ALWAYS INSTALL BLADE GUARD

AFTER OPERATION IS COMPLETED.

USING DADO HEAD

THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER

ASSEMBLY CANNOT BE USED WHEN DADOING OR MOULDING. IT CAN BE SWUNG TO THE REAR OF THE SAW AS DESCRIBED IN “USING ACCESSORY MOULDING CUTTERHEAD” SECTION.

AUXILIARY JIGS, FIXTURES, PUSH

STICKS AND FEATHER BOARDS SHOULD BE USED.

ALWAYS INSTALL BLADE GUARD

AFTER OPERATION IS COMPLETE.

Fig. 90, illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard. The material which the featherboard is constructed of, should be a straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table, as shown in Fig. 91, and help prevent kickbacks. Clamp the featherboards to the fence and table so that the leading edge of the featherboards will support the workpiece until the cut is completed. An 8″ high flat board can be clamped to the rip fence and the featherboard can be clamped to the 8″ high board.

Use featherboar

ds for all non “thru-sawing” operations where the guar

d and splitter assembly cannot be

used. Always replace the guard and splitter assembly when the non thru-sawing operation is completed.

MAINTENANCE

KEEP MACHINE CLEAN

Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.

Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while using compressed air.

FAILURE TO START

Should your machine fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.

LUBRICATION

Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table and extension table or other work surface weekly.

STORING THE MITER GAGE, AND ARBOR WRENCHES

1. When not in use, the miter gage (A) Fig. 93 can be stored through the hole located at the front side of the stand.

2. Arbor wrenches (C) Fig. 93, can be stored on one of the two notched legs.

DUST CHUTE

The saw stand support panel (D) Fig. 94 also serves as a natural built-in dust chute. This dust chute (D) allows the sawdust to conveniently escape out the rear of the saw stand and away from the work area.

Fig. 95

REPOSITIONING MOTOR FOR STORAGE

When the saw is not in use, the motor can be repositioned so that it hangs straight down at the rear, enabling you to move the saw against a wall. This can be accomplished by removing the belt and repositioning the motor and motor mounting plate, as shown in Fig.

95.

STORAGE

PROTECTING CAST IRON TABLE FROM RUST

To clean and protect cast iron tables from rust, you will need the following materials: 1 pushblock from a jointer, 1 sheet of medium Scotch-Brite™ Blending Hand Pad, 1 can of WD-40®, 1 can of degreaser, 1 can of TopCote

Aerosol. Apply the WD-40 and polish the table surface with the Scotch-Brite pad using the pushblock as a holddown. Degrease the table, then apply the TopCote

accordingly.
