SAFETY RULES
Technical Service Manager Delta Machinery 4825 Highway 45 North P.O. Box 2468 Jackson, TN 38302-2468
(IN CANADA: 505 Southgate Drive, GUELPH, ONTARIO N1H 6M7)
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. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three­prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical receptacle. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter lug must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the third prong.
5. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it “on.”
6. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
7. 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.
8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.
9. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF – with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
10. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it was designed.
11. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
16. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
17. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
18. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of accessories and attachments not recommended by Delta may cause hazards or risk of injury to persons.
19. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in power cord.
20. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
21. 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.
22. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
23.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
POWER OFF
. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
24. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
25. MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER
SUPPLY
while motor is being mounted, connected or re-
connected.
26. WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN USE, the switch should be locked in the OFF position to prevent unauthorized use of the tool.
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

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR WOOD SHAPERS
1. WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE YOUR WOOD SHAPER UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of Wood Shapers, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person.
3. MAKE SURE wiring codes and recommended electrical connections are followed and that machine is properly grounded.
4. NEVER turn the shaper “ON” before clearing the table of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.).
5. DO NOT process materials less than 12" in length or 4 in width without special supporting fixtures. Use push sticks, featherboards or holddowns whenever possible.
6. ALWAYS use a miter gage and clamp attachment when edge shaping work less than 6" wide. The fence should be removed during this operation.
7. AVOID awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could allow your hand to contact the cutter.
8. KEEP hands away from cutting tool.
9. NEVER run the stock between the fence and the cutter.
10. DO NOT feed material that is warped, contains knots or is embedded with foreign objects, such as nails or staples.
11. NEVER start the shaper with the stock in contact with the cutter.
12. NEVER reach under the table while the machine is running.
13. NEVER perform layout, assembly or set-up work on the table while the shaper is operating.
14. KEEP cutters sharp and free from rust and pitch.
15. THE FENCE halves should be adjusted so that the cutter opening is never more than is required to clear the cutter.
16. ALWAYS lock fence hardware after making fence adjustments.
17. MAKE CERTAIN cutters are properly secured before starting machine.
18. DO NOT perform any operation freehand. ALWAYS use fence for straight shaping; miter gage for edge shaping; and starting pin and rub collars for curve shaping.
19. ALWAYS keep front motor access panel closed while operating shaper.
20. ALWAYS feed against the cutter rotation, as shown in Fig. A.
21. WHEN SHAPING with collars and starting pin, the collar MUST have sufficient bearing surface, as shown in Fig. B. Fig. C, illustrates the wrong way for this operation as the collar DOES NOT have sufficient bearing surface.
Fig. A
Fig. B
Fig. C
22. WHEN SHAPING with collars and starting pin, the work must be fairly heavy in proportion to the cut being made as shown in Fig. D. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should short work of light body be shaped against the collars as shown in Fig. E.

UNPACKING AND CLEANING
Carefully unpack the shaper and fence system from the shipping containers. Clean all loose parts and remove the protective coating from the machined surfaces of the shaper table. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner for this purpose). Figures 2 and 3, illustrate the shaper and all loose items supplied with the machine. Fig. 4, illustrates the items supplied with the fence system.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR WOOD SHAPERS
(continued)
23. WHEN SHAPING with collars and starting pin, the cutter should be positioned below the collar whenever possible, as shown in Fig. F.
Fig. F
24. MAKE all adjustments with the power “OFF”.
25. KEEP guard in place at all times.
26. BEFORE leaving the machine, make sure the work area is clean.
27. SHOULD any part of your shaper be missing, damaged or fail in any way, or any electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off switch and remove plug from power supply outlet. Replace missing, damaged or failed parts before resuming operation.
