GENERAL 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.

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. 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.

13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and bal- ance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.

16. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of accessories and attachments not recommended by Delta may cause hazards or risk of injury to persons.

17. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in power cord.

In the event of a power failure, move switch

to the “OFF” position.

18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.

19. 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.

20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cut- ter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

22.

STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL. DO NOT USE TOOL WHILE TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION. A moment of inattention while operating power tools

may result in serious personal injury.

23. MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER SUPPLY while motor is being mounted, connected or reconnected.

24. 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.

25.

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.

WARNING: THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELEC-

TRIC SHOCK.

POWER CONNECTIONS

Model 43-435 - A separate electrical circuit should be used for this machine. This circuit should not be less than #12

wire and should be protected with a 20 amp time lag fuse or motor-starting circuit breaker. 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 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

Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 150 250 volts, inclusive:

If the tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. AA, the tool will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. AA. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

CHANGING SPEEDS AND ADJUSTING BELT TENSION

The tool is supplied with a 2-step motor pulley and a 2-step spindle pulley that provide spindle speeds of 7,000 and 10,000 RPM. With the belt on the largest step of the motor pulley and the smallest step of the spindle pulley, the spindle speed will be 10,000 RPM. With the belt on the smallest step of the motor pulley and the largest step of the spindle pulley, the spindle speed will be 7,000 RPM.

A chart (Y) Fig. 26 that illustrates the correct belt placement for 7,000 or 10,000 RPM is located on the inside panel of the motor access door.

To change speeds and adjust belt tension:

1. Disconnect tool from power source.

Open motor access door (Y) Fig. 26.

3. Loosen the thumb screw (A) Fig. 27. Release tension on the belt by moving the lever (B) to the left. Position the belt (C) on the desired steps of the spindle pulley (D) and the motor pulley (E), and apply belt tension by moving the lever (B) to the right. When the desired belt tension is attained, tighten the thumb screw (A).

4. Proper belt tension is approximately a 3/32" deflection when using light finger pressure on the belt between pulleys. IMPORTANT: Pulleys (D) and (E) Fig. 27 should always be aligned with each other to provide maximum belt performance and reduce belt wear. To check pulley alignment, refer to section “REPLACING SPINDLE CARTRIDGE”.

REVERSING SPINDLE ROTATION

Caution: Disconnect tool from power source.

The motor is equipped with a reversing switch (X) Fig. 26, located on the motor junction box.

CAUTION: Never attempt to reverse the rotation of the spindle with the motor running.

OPERATIONS

The following examples show set-up and operational procedures when using the fence, collars, and starting pin. Please review this information carefully before turning on the power to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the machine.

SHAPING WHEN USING THE

FENCE AS A GUIDE

Using the fence is the safest and most satisfactory method of shaping. Most straight work can be shaped using the fence described below.

1. For average work, where a portion of the original edge of the work is not touched by the cutter, both the front and rear fences are in a straight line (Fig. 28).

2. When the shaping operation removes the entire edge of the work (jointing or making a full bead), the shaped edge will not be supported by the rear fence when both fences are in line (Fig. 29). In this case, the work should be advanced to the position shown in Fig. 29 and stopped.

Fig. 28

Fig. 29

Page 12

Fig. 36

Fig. 37

Fig. 34

POSITION OF COLLARS

1. The collars may be used in any of three positions: above, below, or between two cutters.

2. When the collar is used below the cutter (Fig. 35), the operator can see the progress of the cut. NOTE: Any accidental lifting of the work will gouge the wood and ruin the workpiece.

3. When the collar is used above the cutter (Fig. 36), the operator will be unable to see the cut. However, the advantage in this method is that the cut is not affected by slight variations in the thickness of the stock. Also, accidental lifting of the work will not gouge the workpiece. Simple correction for the mistake is to repeat the operation.

4. The collar between cutters method (Fig. 37) has the advantages of the first two methods and is frequently used when both edges of the work are to be shaped.

Fig. 35

Fig. 30

3. The rear fence should then be advanced to contact the work (Fig. 30), putting it in line with the cutting circle.

SHAPING WITH COLLARS AND STARTING PIN

When shaping with collars and starting pin, follow the rules below for superior finishing and safety in operation.

Fig. 31

Fig. 32

1. Free the collars of ALL gum or other substances, and make sure that they are smooth.

2. Check to see that the edge of the work is smooth. ANY irregularity in the surface that rides against the collar will be duplicated on the moulded surface.

3. A portion of the edge of the work MUST remain untouched by the cutters in order that the collar will have sufficient bearing surface. The wrong method is shown in Fig. 31, while Fig. 32 illustrates the right method.

4. The work MUST be fairly heavy in proportion to the cut being made (Fig. 33). Under NO circumstances should short work of light body be shaped against the collars (Fig. 34).

5. When shaping with collars and starting pin, use the spindle guard supplied with the tool.

Fig. 33

Page 13

END SHAPING

Maintain sufficient support of the workpiece during all shaping operations. When end shaping a workpiece that is not long enough to be sufficiently supported halfway through the cut, USE A MITER GAUGE OR BACK-UP BLOCK (Figs. 38 and 39).

WARNING: Shaping a narrow workpiece without sufficient support could result in serious injury.

The infeed fence assembly must be parallel to the miter slot when using the miter gauge. Adjust the outfeed fence so that it will not contact the workpiece after it has passed the cutter. Place the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge and infeed fence and feed the cutter by pushing the miter gauge.

WARNING: Failure to hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge during the cut could result in slippage of the workpiece, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to the workpiece.

CROSS GRAIN SHAPING

Shaping across the grain will usually cause some splitting at the end of the cut. Feeding the workpiece slowly across the cutter at the end of the cut can minimize the splitting. Shape the cross-grain cuts first. Shaping with the grain last will usually remove the splintered end.

SHAPING NARROW MATERIAL

Clamp a support (Fig. 40) to the tool when shaping narrow material (less than 3" wide) Feed the workpiece under this support with a push stick. NOTE: The push stick should be slightly narrower and thinner than the workpiece.

WARNING: Shaping narrow material without proper support and push stick could result in serious injury.

Fig. 38

Fig. 39

Fig. 40

Fig.41

STARTING PIN

1. The tool is supplied with a tapered starting pin (A) Fig. 41, which is used as a support when starting the cut. The starting pin (A) is placed in one of the tapered holes (B) in the table.

2. Place the work in the first position using the guide pin as a support (Fig. 42). Swing the work into the cutter as shown in the second position (Fig. 42). The work will be supported by the collar and starting pin (Fig. 42).

3. After the cut has started, swing the work free of the starting pin and let it ride only against the collar (third position, Fig. 43). ALWAYS FEED WORKPIECE AGAINST

THE ROTATION OF THE CUTTER. IMPORTANT: Advancing the work to the cutter without

the side support of the starting pin will provide serious kickback. ALWAYS USE THE STARTING PIN.

REPLACING SPINDLE CARTRIDGE

1. Disconnect tool from power source.

2. IMPORTANT: When replacing the spindle cartridge, bolt (A) Fig. 44 should only be tightened 7 to 10 foot pounds.

3. The spindle pulley (D) Fig. 45, and motor pulley (E) should always be aligned with each other to provide maximum belt performance and to reduce belt wear. To check the pulley alignment, place a straight edge against the underside of both pulleys (Fig. 45). If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the set screw (F) and move the motor pulley up or down until the two pulleys (D) and (E) are aligned. Tighten the set screw.

4. Proper belt tension is approximately a 3/32" deflection when using light finger pressure on the belt between pulleys (D) and (E) Fig. 45.
