GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.

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 AND HEARING PROTECTION. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. 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.

3. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip protective 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 with Delta or factory authorized replacement parts. 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. Do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when unplugging or plugging in the cord.

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, changing cutters, adjusting or changing set-ups. When making repairs, be sure to lock the start switch in the “OFF” position. An accidental start-up 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.

. 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.

DISBURSE DUST OR OTHER AIRBORNE PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST AND ASBESTOS DUST. Direct particles away from face

and body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.

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. ALWAYS USE GUARDS, SPLITTER, AND ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS whenever possible, including through sawing. Check to see that they are in place, secured and working correctly. Test the anti-kickback pawl action before ripping by pushing the wood under the anti-kickback teeth. The teeth must prevent the wood from being thrown toward the front of the saw.

5. 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.

6. HOLD THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the miter gauge or fence.

7. CUTTING COMPLETELY THROUGH THE WORK-PIECE IS KNOWN AS “THROUGH-SAWING”. Ripping and crosscutting are through-sawing operations. Cutting with the grain is ripping. Use a fence or fence system for ripping. NEVER use a miter guage for ripping. Use push sticks for ripping a narrow workpiece. Cutting across the grain is cross-cutting. Never use a fence or fence system for cross-cutting. Instead, use a miter gauge.

8. 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 splitter for every possible

operation, including all through sawing. D. keeping splitter aligned with sawblade. E. keeping the anti-kickback pawls in place and

sharpened. F. pushing the workpiece past the saw blade prior to

release. G. never ripping a workpiece that is twisted or warped, or

does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence. H. using featherboards when the anti-kickback device or

the guard and splitter cannot be used. I. never sawing a large workpiece that cannot be

controlled. J. never using the fence as a guide when crosscutting. K. never sawing a workpiece with loose knots, flaws, nails

or other foreign objects. L. never ripping a workpiece shorter than 10”.

PAWLS TO BE EFFECTIVE. Plastic and compositions (like hardboard) may be cut on your saw, but be especially attentive to following proper set-up and cutting procedures to prevent any kickbacks when cutting these materials.

SOME MATERIALS ARE TOO HARD AND SLIPPERY FOR THE ANTI-KICKBACK

9. USE THE CORRECT SAWBLADE FOR THE INTENDED OPERATION. The blade must rotate toward the front of the

saw. Always tighten the blade arbor nut securely. Before use, inspect the blade for cracks or mising teeth. Do not use a damaged blade.

10. NEVER USE ABRASIVE WHEELS on this saw.

11. DO NOT CUT METAL WITH THIS SAW.

12. 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.

13. CUT-OFF PIECES CAN BE THROWN BACK AT THE OPERATOR. For large cut-off pieces, use a push stick to push the piece past the blade and off the back of the saw table. Do not reach across sawblade. Be careful that small pieces do not contact the blade.

14.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW BLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING THE MACHINE OFF. If a

workpiece or cut-off piece becomes trapped inside the guard, turn saw off and wait for blade to stop before lifting the guard and removing the piece.

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

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

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

17. Use a push stick to push small workpieces through the saw. A push stick is a small wooden stick, usually homemade, that should be used whenever the size or shape of the workpiece would cause you to place your hands within six inches of the blade. See “CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK” in the back of this manual for guidance on making your own.

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

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

20. NEVER REACH AROUND or over the saw blade.

21. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG (3 feet or longer) OR WIDE (36” or wider) WORKPIECES. If extension tables wider than 24” are attached to the saw, bolt the saw stand to the floor, or use a sturdy outrigger support to prevent tipping.

22. PREVENT MOTION OF THE SAW WHILE IN USE. If the mobility kit is installed, lower the foot pedal and level the feet so the saw does not rock, walk, slide or tip. If necessary, secure the stand to the floor.

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

24. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF” AND DISCONNECT THE MACHINE from the power source before installing or removing accessories, changing the sawblade, or adjusting or changing set-ups. Lock swicth in the “OFF” position when making repairs.

25. CLEAN THE TABLE/WORK AREA BEFORE LEAVING THE MACHINE. Lock the switch in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized use.

POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your machine is wired for 120/240 volts, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.

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.

3. 240 VOLT SINGLE PHASE OPERATION

The motor supplied with your machine is a dual voltage, 120/240 volt motor. It is shipped ready-to-run for 120 volt operation. However, it can be converted for 240 volt operation.

A qualified electrician should do the conversion, or the machine can be taken to an Authorized Delta Service Center. When completed, the machine must conform to the National Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances.

The machine is converted by re-wiring the motor for 240 volts, installing a 240 volt plug on the power supply cord and making sure the switch is one that is rated for 240 volt operation.

Be sure the 240 volt plug is only used in an outlet having the same configuration as the plug illustrated in Fig. C. No adapter should be used with the 240 volt plug.

IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN

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

Then, place an M8 Flat Washer(J), an M8 Lock Washer (K) and an M8 Nut (L) on the bolt and tighten securely. Repeat this for the other two holes and stand the saw back up again.

The mobile base pedal has two settings. It can lower the saw onto its leveling feet for stability, or it can lift the saw up on its wheel for mobility. The leveling feet include adjustable locknuts for raising and lowering each foot separately. Be sure the saw is level and will not move during operation

Do not opoerate saw with mobile base

pedal in the down position.

BOLTING THE SAW TO FLOOR

RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY. Two

people are needed to turn the saw over on its side.

Fig. 3

Fig. 4

To bolt the saw to a permanent location, do not add the mobile base pedal included with the saw. (To add the

pedal, see "ATTACHING THE MOBILE BASE PEDAL").

First, you will need to carefully turn the saw over on its side and remove the two leveling feet and the attached locknuts, both shown at (F) Fig. 4. Also remove two wheels (G) by unscrewing the 5/16" Carriage Head Bolts and 5/16" locknuts that attach them to the base.

Then, remove the nine screws which secure the dust chute inside the saw cabinet, six of which are shown at (C) Fig. 5. Also, remove the side panel below the motor cover by loosening all six screws (D).

Find the holes (E) Fig. 6 in the bottom of the saw and mark their position on the floor where you want to place the saw. Be sure saw is on level surface. Drill pilot holes in these spots and attach to floor using appropriate hardware. Reassemble the dust chute and side panel.

BLADE TILTING AND RAISING HANDWHEELS

Place blade tilting handwheel (A) Fig. 7A on shaft (B) on the left side of the saw cabinet. Make certain slot (C) in handwheel is engaged with roll pin (D) on the shaft. Place nylon washer (E) Fig. 7B on shaft then thread locking knob (F) Fig. 7B, on shaft (G) and tighten securely. Attach blade raising handwheel (H) Fig. 7B in the same manner.

INSTALLING DRIVE BELT

First, lift motor and remove foam packing block from around motor. While lifting motor (A) Fig. 8, place a 1012 inch long piece of 2x4, or another similar thickness of wood, (B) Fig. 8 as shown. This will help prop up the motor and will make it easier to install the grooved belt, (C) Fig. 8A. Place grooved belt (C) Fig. 8A in grooved pulley located behind the motor (shown in Fig. 8B) and the one directly above, located on the opposite end of the blade arbor. Ensure that the grooves of the belt completely make contact with the grooves in these pulleys. Carefully lift motor and remove the block of wood. The weight of the motor will provide the correct tension on the belt. The belt (D) Fig. 8D is shown installed correctly as seen through the open door in the side of the saw.

EXTENSION WINGS

Assemble left extension wing (A) Fig. 10A to the saw table. Align the three holes in the extension wing with the three holes (A) Fig. 9 in the side of the saw table. Place a 7/16" lockwasher, then a 7/16" flat washer on a 7/1620x1-1/4” hex head screw (all shown at (B) Fig. 9). Insert the screw through the hole in the extension wing and thread the screw into the tapped hole in the side of the table. Repeat this process for the two remaining holes in the extension wing and saw table.

With a straight edge (E) Fig. 10A, make certain the extension wing (A) is level with the saw table before tightening three bolts (B) Fig. 10 with an 18mm open end wrench. Starting with a bolt on one side, make sure the tables are lined up and then tighten that bolt. Then, move to the middle bolt and follow the same procedure of aligning and tightening. Then do the same for the bolt on the other end.

NOTE: Make sure front edge of wing is flush to or slightly behind the front edge of the table.

Place the right extension wing on the other side of the saw in the same manner.

Do not operate the saw without right

table wing installed.

OPERATIONAL CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS

STARTING AND STOPPING SAW

The on/off switch is located underneath the switch shield (A) Fig. 32. To turn the saw “ON”, press the green button (B) Fig. 31 below the shield. To turn the saw

“OFF”, push switch shield (A) Fig. 32.

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.

Fig. 30

LOCKING SWITCH IN “OFF” POSITION

IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized use. Use a padlock (C) Fig. 31 with a

3/16" diameter shackle.

In the event of a power outage (such as a breaker or fuse trip), always move the switch to the “OFF” position until the main power is restored.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The saw is equipped with a circuit breaker (A) Fig. 31. If the motor shuts off or fails to start due to overloading (cutting stock too fast, using a dull blade, using the saw beyond its capacity, etc.), or low voltage, turn the saw off by pushing the switch shield (D) Fig. 32. Let the motor cool three to five minutes and push the reset button (A) Fig. 31, which will reset the overload device. The motor can then be turned on again in the usual manner.

NOTE: If the problem persists, contact the nearest Delta customer service center or call (800) 438-

ADJUSTING 90 DEGREE AND 45 DEGREE POSITIVE STOPS

The machine is equipped with positive stops that will quickly and accurately position the saw blade at 90° and 45° to the table. To check and adjust the positive stops, proceed as follows:

Disconnect machine from power source.

1. Remove the blade guard and splitter.

2. Raise the saw blade to its highest position.

3. Set the blade at 90° to the table by turning the blade tilting handwheel counterclockwise as far as it will go.

4. Use a combination square (A) Fig. 33 to see if the blade is at 90° to the table surface.

5. If the blade is not at 90° to the table, loosen set screw (B) with 5/32″ allen wrench (C), and turn the blade tilting handwheel until the blade is 90° to the table. Turn set screw (B) clockwise until it bottoms.

6. Adjust the pointer (D) Fig. 34 to point to the zero degree mark on the scale by loosening screws (E), adjusting pointer (D), and tightening screws (E).

7. Turn the blade tilting handwheel clockwise as far as it will go and use a combination square to see if the blade is at 45° to the table.

8. If the blade is not at 45° to the table, loosen set screw (F) Fig. 33, and turn blade tilting handwheel until the blade is 45° to the table. Turn set screw (F) clockwise until it bottoms.

9. Replace blade guard and splitter before using the machine.

Fig. 34

CHECKING BLADE ALIGNMENT

The saw has been aligned at the factory so the saw blade is parallel to the miter gage slots; however, it is recommended to check the alignment before initial operation as follows:

Disconnect machine from power source.

1. Place a combination square (A) Fig. 35, on the table with one edge of the square in the miter gage slot, as shown, and adjust the square so the rule just touches one of the teeth on the saw blade at the forward position, as shown in Fig. 35. Lock the square in this position.

2. Rotate the saw blade so that the same tooth you used in STEP 1 is in the rear position, as shown in Fig. 36, and check this distance. Both the front and rear measure ments should be identical.

3. If an adjustment is necessary see “ADJUSTING

BLADE ALIGNMENT.”

Fig. 35

Fig. 36

Page 20

ADJUSTING BLADE ALIGNMENT

Blade alignment is factory set and

should not need adjustment. Adjusting blade alignment is a difficult and time-consuming procedure. All saw blades have some run-out. Therefore, re-adjusting blade alignment should only be attempted if it becomes necessary. (See "checking blade alignment.")

Disconnect machine from power source.

1. Lower blade. Remove blade guard and table insert.

With a 1/2″ wrench, slightly loosen the 4 front and rear trunnion mounting bolts. NOTE: Two trunnion mounting bolts (E) Fig. 37 are shown as looking up inside side of saw.

2. Move the trunnion assembly in the desired direction.

Tap gently with rubber mallet if necessary.

3. To check blade alignment, follow section “CHECKING

BLADE ALIGNMENT” procedure until proper alignment is achieved. Tighten 4 trunnion bolts (E) Fig. 37.

4. Check blade alignment again after tightening bolts

to confirm alignment. If alignment is off, loosen the 4 trunnion bolts (E) and repeat the above steps until proper alignment is achieved with bolts fully tightened.

5. Install table insert, blade guard, and lower blade

before reconnecting power source.

MITER GAGE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

The miter gage is equipped with adjustable index stops at 90, 75, 60,45 and 30 degrees.

To rotate the miter gage, loosen lock knob (A) Fig. 40, push the thumb lever (B) down and move the body of the miter gage (C) to the desired angle.

The miter gage is equipped with a plate (D) Fig.41 which fits into the T-Slot groove (E) in the table. This allows the miter gage to be pulled off the front edge of the table without falling. This allows for a longer cut-off capacity in front of the blade.

MACHINE USE

Fig. 40

Fig. 41

Common sawing operations include ripping and cross cutting 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 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.

This instruction manual does not provide information regarding the installation of a fence system. A fence system must be installed before use of the saw. Please refer to the fence instruction manual regarding the proper installation, alignment and operation of the fence system.

The use of attachments and acces sories not recommended by Delta may result in injury.

Never operate the saw without the proper table insert for the saw blade or cutter installed.

QUICK OPERATIONS CHECKLIST

Before using the saw each and every time, verify the following:

1. Blade is tight.

2. Bevel angle and height lock knobs are tight.

3. If ripping, ensure fence lock lever is tight and fence is parallel to the blade.

4. If crosscutting, miter gauge knob is tight.

5. Proper eye, hearing and respiratory equipment is being used.

6. The blade guard is properly attached and the anti-kickback pawls are functioning.

Failure to adhere to these common safety rules can greatly increase the likelihood of injury.

BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER USE

The blade guard assembly provided with delta saws, as shown in Fig. S1 must be used for all through-sawing operations. The splitter prevents the kerf

from closing and binding the blade, causing kickback. The anti-kickback pawls (A) Fig. S1 prevent the workpiece and cut-off piece from being thrown back at the operator. The plastic guard prevents dust and debris from being thrown at the operator. To use the guard properly:

1. Make sure the splitter is aligned with the blade

as described in the section “BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY AND ALIGNMENT.”

2. Replace or sharpen the anti-kickback pawls when

they become dull.

3. Keep the guard clean for visibility and free motion.

4. Do not use solvent or lubricants on the guard as they

may severely damage the plastic.

5. Use caution when feeding workpieces that may

catch on the guard and cause a bind or force the guard into the blade (such as when cutting moulding).

CROSS-CUTTING

Cross-cutting requires the use of the miter gauge to position and guide the work. Before starting the cut, raise the blade so it is about 1/8” (3.2mm) higher than the top of the workpiece. Place the work against the miter gauge and advance both the gauge and work toward the saw blade, as shown in Fig. S2. The miter gauge may be used in either table slot. Start the cut slowly and hold the work firmly against the miter gauge and the table. Keep both hands on the miter gauge and workpiece. Do not touch the cut-off piece. Feed the workpiece steadily through the blade until the workpiece is completely cut. Shift the workpiece slightly sideways away from the blade, then pull the workpiece and miter guage back to the starting position. Remove the workpiece, then use a push stick to push the cut-off piece past the blade and off the table before beginning the next cut.

Fig. S1

Fig. S2

For added safety and convenience the miter gauge can be fitted with an auxiliary wood-facing (C), as shown in Fig. S3, 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 gauge slot is being used. This auxiliary wood-facing (C) can be fastened to the front of the miter gauge by using two wood screws (A) through the holes provided in the miter gauge body and into the wood-facing.

Fig. S3

Page 24

Never use the fence as a cut-off gauge when cross-cutting.

When cross-cutting a number of pieces to the same length, a block of wood (B), can be clamped to the fence and used as a cut-off gauge as shown in Fig. S4. The block (B) must be at least 3/4-inch thick to prevent the cut-off piece from binding between the blade and the fence during removal from the saw table. 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, lock the fence and use the miter gauge to feed the work into the cut.

When using the block (B) Fig. S4, as a

cut-off gauge, 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.

MITERING

Mitering (the operation shown in Fig. S5) is the same as crosscutting except the miter gauge (C) is locked at an angle other than 0 degrees. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge and feed the work slowly into the blade to prevent the workpiece from moving.

Fig. S4

Use caution when starting the cut to prevent

binding of the guard against the workpiece.

Miter angles greater than 45 degrees may force the guard into the saw blade and damage the guard. Before starting the motor, test the operation by feeding the work piece into the guard. If the guard contacts the blade, place the work piece under the guard - but don't let it touch the blade - before starting the motor.

Certain workpiece shapes, such as moulding, may not lift the guard properly. feed the work slowly to start the cut.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING

Bevel crosscutting (shown in Fig. S6) is the same as crosscutting except the bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0 degrees.

When possible, use the right miter gauge slot when bevel crosscutting so that the blade tilts away from the miter gauge and your hands.

Use caution when starting the cut to prevent binding of the guard against the workpiece.

Fig. S5

Fig. S6

COMPOUND MITERING

Compound Mitering (shown in Fig. S7) is a combination of bevel crosscutting and mitering, where the blade is beveled to an angle other than 0 degrees and the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 0 degrees. Always use the miter slot (D) which allows the blade to tilt away from the miter gauge and hands.

Fig. S7

Page 25

RIPPING

Ripping, as shown in Fig. S8, is cutting lengthwise through a board. The rip fence (A) 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.

The saw blade guard must be used. On Delta saws, the guard has anti-kickback pawls to prevent kickback and a splitter to prevent the wood kerf from closing and binding the blade. Be sure to replace or sharpen the anti-kickback devices when the points become dull.

A rip fence should always be used for ripping operations. Never perform a ripping operation free-hand. Always lock the fence to the rail.

The workpiece must have a straight edge against the fence, and must not be warped, twisted or bowed.

1. Before starting the cut, raise the blade so it is about

1/8” (3.2mm) higher than the top of the workpiece. 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. When the rip width is 6 inches or wider, hold the work with both hands and push it along the fence and into the saw blade (Fig. S8). Feed force when ripping should always be applied between the saw blade and the fence. Never pull the workpiece from the back of the saw. The work should then be fed through the saw blade with the right hand. Only use the left hand to guide the workpiece against the fence, and remove the left hand from the work about 12 inches in front of the blade. Do not feed the workpiece with the left hand. Continue to feed material with right hand, keeping to the right of the path of the blade. After the cut is complete, use a push stick to feed cut-off piece past the blade.

2. When the workpiece is past the blade, the work

will either stay on the table or tilt up slightly and be caught by the end of the guard. 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. 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.

3. If the size or shape of the workpiece would cause

your hands to be within six inches of the saw blade, use a push stick to complete the cut, as shown in Fig. S9 The push stick can easily be made from scrap material as explained in the section

“CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK.”

4. Ripping narrow pieces can be dangerous if not done

carefully. If possible, rip the narrow piece from the larger piece. If the workpiece is short enough, use a pushboard. (A pushboard can be constructed as shown in Fig. S10 and used as shown in Fig. S11.)

Fig. S8

Fig. S9

Fig. S10

Fig. S11

Page 26

NOTE: In Fig. S11, the guard and splitter have been

removed for clarity. Guard and splitter should be used when ripping.

5. For longer pieces, use one or more pushsticks to avoid placing your hands between the fence and the blade. Always use care to avoid binding narrow strips between the anti-kickback pawls and the splitter.

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,” and use of a push stick.

BEVEL RIPPING

Bevel ripping (as shown in Fig. S12) is the same as ripping except the bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0 degrees.

When possible, place the fence on the right side of the blade so that the blade is tilted away from the fence and hands. Keep hands clear of the blade and use a pushstick to feed the workpiece if there is less than 6” between the fence and the blade.

Use caution when starting the cut to prevent binding of the guard against the workpiece.

USING MOULDING CUTTERHEAD

Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the work with a special moulding cutterhead.

The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can be mounted various shapes of steel knives, (Fig. S13). 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.

Use pushsticks, hold-downs, jigs, fixtures, or featherboards to help guide and control the workpiece when the guard cannot be used.

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 at (G) and (H) Fig. S14. Lift up and remove blade guard and splitter assembly (W).

Fig. S12

Fig. S13

Fig. S14

Page 27

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.

39.

1. A moulding cutterhead (A) Fig. S15 can be easily

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 wood-

facing (C) to the face of the rip fence (Fig. S16). The wood-facing 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. S16 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.

Always install blade guard after operation

is complete.

Special attention should be given the grain direction. Make all cuts in the same direction as the grain whenever possible.

Fig. S15

Fig. S16

USING ACCESSORY DADO HEAD

The blade guard and splitter assembly

cannot be used when dadoing or moulding. it must be removed as described in “using accessory moulding cutterhead” section.

Use pushsticks, hold-downs, jigs,

fixtures, or featherboards to help guide and control the workpiece when the guard cannot be used.

The accessory dado head set table insert (E) Fig. S20, must be used in place of the standard table insert.

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. S17). 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 the teeth do not hit each other during rotation. The heavy portion of the cutters should fall in the gullets of the outside saws, as shown in Fig. S18. The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig. S19 (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

/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.

Do not attempt to stack dado blades thicker than 13/16” (20mm) Do not use dado blades larger than 8” (200mm) in diameter.

2. Attach the dado head set (D) Fig. S20, to the saw arbor. NOTE: If the arbor nut does not fully engage the

thread on the arbor, remove the outside arbor flange and 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.

3. Fig. S21, shows a typical dado operation using the miter gauge as a guide.

Always install blade guard and standard

table insert after operation is completed.

Never use the dado head in a bevel

position.

USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING

It is necessary when performing special operations such as when using the moulding cutterhead to add wood facing (A) Fig. S22, to one or both sides of the rip fence. Depending on the fence, the wood facing is attached to the fence either with wood screws through holes drilled in the fence or with two clamps (as shown in Fig. S22). For most work, 3/4" stock is suitable, although an occasional job may require one-inch facing.

CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD

Fig. S23, 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. S24, 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 featherboards for all non “thru-sawing” operations where the guard and splitter assembly cannot be used. Always replace the guard and splitter assembly when the non thru-sawing operation is completed. Make sure the Featherboard presses only on the portion of the workpiece in front of the blade.

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 certified safety equipment for eye, hearing and respiratory protection 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 & RUST PROTECTION

Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table
