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.

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.

26.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them

often and use them to instruct others.

1. DO NOT OPERATE the tool until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions.

2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the oper- ation of jointers, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person.

3. KEEP cutterhead sharp and free of all rust and pitch.

4. BEFORE starting machine, check cutterhead and drive guards to be sure they are in place and in proper operating condition.

5. ALWAYS make sure exposed cutterhead behind the fence is guarded, especially when jointing near the edge.

6. NEVER perform jointing or planing operations with the cutterhead guard or drive guard removed.

7. MAKE CERTAIN the infeed table is tightened before starting the machine.

8. NEVER start the jointer with the workpiece contacting the cutterhead.

9. ALWAYS hold the workpiece firmly against the tables and fence.

10. NEVER perform any operation “free-hand” which means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece. ALWAYS use the fence to position and guide the work.

11. AVOID awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the cutterhead.

12. ALWAYS use hold-down/push blocks for jointing material less than 3 inches in height or planing material thinner than 3 inches.

13. DO NOT perform jointing operations on material shorter than 10 inches, narrower than 3/4 inch or less than 1/2 inch thick.

14. DO NOT perform planing operations on material shorter than 10 inches, narrower than 3/4 inch, wider than 6 inches or less than 1/2 inch thick.

15. NEVER make jointing or planing cuts deeper than 1/8 inch. On cuts more than 1-1/2 inches wide, adjust depth of cut to 1/16 inch or less to avoid overloading machine and to minimize chance of kick-back (work thrown back toward you).

16. MAINTAIN the proper relationship of infeed and outfeed table surfaces and cutterhead knife path.

17. SUPPORT the workpiece adequately at all times during operation; maintain control of the work at all times.

18. DO NOT back the workpiece toward the infeed table.

19. DO NOT attempt to perform an abnormal or little- used operation without study and the use of adequate hold-down/push blocks, jigs, fixtures, stops, etc.

20. SHUT OFF power before servicing or adjusting tool and in the event of a power failure.

21. DISCONNECT tool from power source and clean the machine before leaving it.

22. MAKE SURE the work area is clean before leaving the machine.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR JOINTERS

CONNECTING TOOL TO POWER SOURCE

POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. 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 3prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the tool. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the motor.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your tool is wired for 120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the tool to the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position. The no-load speed of the motor is 6000 - 11000 RPM.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. AA. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. AA. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. BB, may be used to connect this plug a 2-hole receptacle as shown in Fig. BB 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.

WARNING: IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE

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

1. All grounded, cord-connected tools: 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 tool 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 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 tool is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug, as shown in Fig. AA.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

HOLES

Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-hole receptacle which will accept the tool’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the tool. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. DD, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
