SAFETY RULES

W oodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are cert ain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, i f 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.

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. A LW A Y S keep hands and fingers away from the

blade.

CONNECTING SAW TO POWER SOURCE

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: THIS TO O L MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

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. The motor is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding 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 con ductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If rep air or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

SINGLE PHASE OPERATION

THREE HORSEPOWER MOTO R S

The motor supplied with the Unisaw is single phase, 3 horsepower, and is designed to be operated from a 220-240 volt power system only.

The single phase motor is intended to be used on a circuit that has an electrical outlet and plug that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. 63. Make cert ain the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug (NEMA L15R). No adapter is available, or should be used with the tool. CAUTION: IN A L L CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERL Y GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

If you desire to operate the tool with an extension cord, use a proper extension cord and make certain it 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 l ine v olt age resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. 64, shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. T he smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

14. Check to see if the tilt indicator pointer point s to the 45 degree mark on the scale. Adjust if necessary

ADJUSTING TABLE

The saw table has been aligned at the factory so the miter gage slots are p arallel to the saw blade; however, i t i s recommended to check the alignment before initial operation as follows:

1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE.

2. Place a combination square (A) Fig. 70, 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. 70. Lock the square in this position.

3. Rotate the saw blade so that the same tooth you used in STEP 2 i s in the rear position, as shown in Fig. 71, and check this dist ance. Both the front and rear measurements should be identical.

4. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the four screws that hold the t able to the saw cabinet.

5. Shif t the t able until a position is found which brings the saw blade in the center of the table insert slot, and parallel to the miter gage slot.

6. T ighten the four screws that were loosened in STEP 4 .

MITER GAGE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

Insert the miter gage bar into the miter gage slot and assemble the washer and lock handle (A) Fig. 72, to the miter gage bar as shown.

The miter gage is equipped with adjustable index stop s at 90 degrees and 45 degrees right and left. Adjustment to the index stops can be made by tightening or loosening the three adjusting screws (B) Fig. 73.

PROTECTING CAST IRON TABLE FROM RUST

To clean and protect cast iron tables from rust, you will need the following materials: A pushblock from a jointer, a sheet of medium Scotch-Brite Blending Hand Pad, a can of WD-40ﬁ, a can of degreaser, a can of TopCoteﬁAerosol. Apply the WD-40ﬁand polish the table surface with the Scotch-Brite pad using the pushblock as a holddown. Degrease the table, then apply the TopCoteﬁ.

OPERATION

Common sawing operations include ripping and crosscutting plus a few other standard operations of a fundament al nature. As with all power tools, there is a cert ain amount of hazard involved with the operation and use of the tool. Using the tool 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.

NOTE: THE USE OF ATTACHMENTS AND ACCESSORIES NOT RECOMMENDED BY DELTA M AY RESULT IN THE RISK OF INJUR Y TO PERSONS AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL.

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. 78. The miter gage may be used in either t able slot. When bevel cutting (blade tilted), use the right miter gage slot so that the blade tilt s away from the miter gage and your hands.

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 st arting point. Before pulling the work back, it is good practice to give the work a little sideways shif t 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. A smart operator never touches a cutoff 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. 79, 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) Fig. 79, through the holes provided in the miter gage body and into the wood-facing.

W ARNING: NEVER USE THE FENCE AS A C UT-OFF GAGE WHEN CROSS-CUTTING.

Fig. 78

Fig. 79

Fig. 80

Page 23

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 gage as shown in Fig. 80. 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 t able surface without binding between the fence and the saw blade, thereby lessening the possibility of kickback and injury to the operator.

RIPPING

Ripping is the operation of making a lengthwise cut through a board, as shown in Fig. 81, and 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. Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a straight edge and make solid contact with the table. The saw guard must be used. The guard has anti-kickback fingers to prevent kickback, and a splitter to prevent the wood from closing behind the blade.

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 as shown in Fig.

81. The work can then be fed through the saw blade with one or two hands. A f ter 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 rear end of the guard or slide off the t able to the floor. Alternately, the feed can continue to the end of the table, after which the work is lifted and brought back along the out side edge of the fence. The cut-of f stock remains on the table and is not touched with the hands until the saw blade is stopped, unless it is a large piece allowing safe removal. When ripping boards longer than three feet, it is recommended that a work support be used at the rear of the saw to keep the workpiece from falling off the saw t able.

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. 82. The push stick can easily be made from scrap material as explained in the section CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK. When ripping stock 2 inches or narrower, assemble an auxiliary wood facing to the fence, as explained in the section USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON RIP FENCE and use a push stick.

USING ACCESSORY MOULDING CUTTERHEAD

Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the work. Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead in the circular saw is a fast, safe and clean operation. The many

Fig. 81

Fig. 82

Fig. 83

Page 24

dif ferent 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, t able edges, etc.

The moulding head consists o f a cutterhead in which can be mounted various shapes of steel knives, as shown in Fig. 83. 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.

IMPORTA N T: For certain cutting operations such as dadoing and moulding where you are not cutting completely through the workpiece, the blade guard and splitter assembly cannot be used. Loosen screws (G) and (H) Fig. 84. Lif t up and swing blade guard and splitter assembly (W) Fig. 84, to the rear of the saw as shown in Fig. 85. CAUTION: Always return and fasten the blade guard and splitter assembly to its proper operating position for normal thru-sawing operations.

The moulding cutterhead (A) Fig. 86, is assembled to the saw arbor as shown. Also, the accessory moulding cutterhead table insert (B), must be used in place of the st andard table insert.

It is necessary when using the moulding cutterhead to add wood-facing (C) to the face of the rip fence, as shown in Fig. 87. The wood-facing is attached to the fence with two clamps, as shown in Fig. 85. When attaching wood facing to a fence,

inch stock is usually suit able for most work,

although an occasional job may require 1 inch facing.

Position the wood-facing over the cutterhead with the cutterhead below the surface of the table. Turn the saw on and raise the cutterhead. Th e cu tterhead will cut its own groove in the wood-facing. Fig. 87, shows a typical moulding operation. NEVER USE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD IN A BEVEL POSITION.

IMPORTA N T: NEVER RUN THE STO C K BETWEEN THE FENCE AND THE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD AS IRREGULAR SHAPED

Fig. 84

Fig. 85

Fig. 86

Fig. 87

Page 25

WOOD WILL CAUSE KICKBACK.

When moulding end grain, the miter gage is used. The feed should be slowed up at the end of the cut to prevent splintering.

In all cut s, attention should be given the grain, making the cut in the same direction as the grain whenever possible.

A LW AYS INSTALL BLADE GUARD AFTER OPERATION IS COMPETE. USING ACCESSORY DADO HEAD

IMPORTA N T: THE BLADE GUARD AN D SPLITTER ASSEMBLY CANNOT BE USED WHEN DADOING OR MOULDING AND MUST BE REMOVED OR SWUNG TO THE REAR OF THE SAW .

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, as shown in Fig. 88. Various combinations of saws and cutters are used to cut grooves from

/8″ to 13/16″ for use in shelving, making joint s,

tenoning, grooving, etc. The cutters are heavily swaged and must be arranged so that this heavy portion falls in the gullet s of the out side saws, as shown in Fig. 89. The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig. 90, (A) being the o utside saw, (B) an inside cutter, and (C) a p aper washer or washers which can be 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.

The dado head set (D) Fig. 91, is assembled to the saw arbor as shown. IMPORTA NT: The blade guard and splitter assembly cannot be used when dadoing and must be removed or swung to the rear of the saw as explained previously in this manual. Auxiliary jigs, fixtures, push

sticks and feather boards should also be used. Also, the accessory dado head t able insert (E) Fig. 91, must be used in place of the standard table insert.

Fig. 92, shows a typical dado operation using the miter gage as a guide.

W ARNING: NEVER USE THE DADO HEAD IN A BEVEL POSITION.

IMPORTANT: A LW AYS INSTAL L BLADE GUARD AFTER OPERATION IS COMPLETED.

USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON RIP FENCE

It is necessary when performing special operations such as moulding to add wood facing (A) Fig. 93, to one or both sides of the rip fence, as shown. The wood facing is attached to the fence with two clamp s (B).

/4 inch stock is

suit able for most work although an occasional job may require 1 inch facing.

A wood facing should be used when ripping thin material
