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 bal-
ance 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 reconnected.
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.

against the blade.
18. NEVER turn the saw “ON” before clearing the table
of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.).
19. ALWAYS STOP the saw before removing scrap
pieces from the table.
20. NEVER perform layout, assembly or set-up work
on the table while the saw is operating.
21. PROVIDE adequate support to the rear and sides
of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.
22. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts.
Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage
the material. Only a soft damp cloth should be used to
clean plastic parts.
23. SHOULD any part of your circular saw be missing,
damaged, or fail in any way, or any electrical components fail to perform properly, shut off switch and remove
plug from power supply outlet. Replace missing, damaged or failed parts before resuming operation.
24. USE only 10" diameter saw blades rated for 4600
RPM or higher with 5/8" arbor holes.
25. THE USE of attachments and accessories not rec-
ommended by Delta may result in the risk of injuries.
26. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe
and proper operation of this product is available from the

provided by the NSC. Please also refer to the American
National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety Requirements for Woodworking Machinery and the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213 Regulations.
27. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
often and use them to instruct others.
1. DO NOT operate your saw until it is completely
assembled and installed according to the instructions.
2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the op-
eration of circular saws, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor, or other qualified person.
3. ALWAYS use blade guard, splitter and anti-kick-
back fingers for every operation for which it can be used,
including all thru sawing.
4. ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the miter
gage or fence.
5. NEVER use the fence as a cut-off gage when
cross-cutting.
6. MOVE the rip fence out of the way when cross-cut-
ting.
7. NEVER perform any operation “free-hand” which
means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the fence or miter gage to position and guide the work.
8. ALWAYS use a push stick for ripping narrow stock.
Refer to ripping applications in instruction manual where
the push stick is covered in detail.
9. AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back toward
you) by:
A. Keeping blade sharp.
B. Keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade.
C. Keeping splitter and anti-kickback fingers and
guard in place and operating.
D. Not releasing the work before it is pushed all
the way past the saw blade.
E. Not ripping work that is twisted or warped or
does not have a straight edge to guide along
the fence.
10. AVOID awkward operations and hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into
the cutting tool.
11. ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from the
blade.
12. NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line
with the path of the saw blade.
13. NEVER reach behind or over the cutting tool with
either hand for any reason.
27.
WARNING: SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER
SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING, AND
OTHER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES contains chem-
icals 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.
26.
WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN USE the switch should
be locked in the "OFF" position to prevent unauthorized
use.
