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 glasses. 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 STARTING. 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 cutter 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

2 possible.

26.WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN USE the switch should be locked in the "OFF" position to prevent unauthorized use.

27.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.

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.

14.DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into blade or cutter against the direction or rotation of the blade or cutter only.

15.DO NOT feed the material too fast while cutting. Feed the material only fast enough so that the blade will cut.

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

17.NEVER start the saw with the workpiece pressed 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 recommended 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 National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201, in the Accident Prevention Manual for Industrial Operations and also in the Safety Data Sheets provided by the NSC.
