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.

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 balance 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 chang-
ing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
16. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of ac-
cessories 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 cutter
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.

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 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.
WARNING: DO NOT EXPOSE THE TOOL TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE TOOL IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
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 equipment-grounding
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 matching 3-conductor receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug, as shown in Fig. 1.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on
a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150
volts:
If the tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. 1, the tool will have
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. 1.
A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated
in Fig. 2, may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. 2 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.
3. 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. 3, the tool will have
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig.
3. 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.
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.

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 matching 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. 4 and 5 show 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.

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.
2.
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.

OPERATIONS
The following examples show set-up and operational procedures when using the fence, miter gauge, 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.

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.

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.

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.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.
