SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS EQUIPMENT. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,
fire, and/or serious personal injury or property damage.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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. For additional information please visit our website www.deltamachinery.com.

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.

DO NOT USE THIS UNIT TO FILTER
METAL DUST. Combining wood and

metal dust can create an explosion or
fire hazard. This unit is intended to filter
non-explosive atmospheres only.

DO NOT USE THIS UNIT TO DISSIPATE
FUMES OR SMOKE. Explosions or fire can

result. This air cleaner is intended for use
where only dry airborne dust is present.
Its use should be limited to non­explosive, non-metallic atmospheres.

1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT until it is completely

assembled and installed according to the instructions.
A unit incorrectly assembled can cause injury.

2. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or

another qualified person if you are not thoroughly
familiar with the operation of this unit. Knowledge is
safety.

3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended

electrical connections to prevent electrical shock or
electrocution.

4. DO NOT LIFT THIS UNIT BY THE POWER CORD.

Do not use the power cord as a hanging device. A
damaged power cord can cause electrical shock or
electrocution.

5. SECURELY ANCHOR THIS UNIT to a permanent or

fixed supporting structure when suspending it from
the ceiling. A falling unit can cause serious injury.
Always keep a minimum of 7 feet between the
bottom of the unit and the floor surface to allow for
sufficient head clearance. Use only a chain rated for
a minimum of 150 lb. working load to adequately
hold the unit. Use steel S-Hooks that are at least
1/4" in diameter to suspend the unit from the ceiling.
Lag-type bolts used to suspend the unit from the
ceiling must be threaded at least 1-1/2" into
supporting structural members.

6. SUPPORT THIS UNIT or securely clamp it to the

work surface when it is used in a portable
application to eliminate potential injury and/or
damage to the unit.

7. ENSURE THAT THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST
AREAS ARE CLEAR prior to starting the unit.
Clogged intakes or exhausts can cause an
explosion and/or fire.

8. KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS AWAY
FROM THE FAN. Avoid all exposure to rotating
parts to prevent injury.

9. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT WITHOUT THE
FILTERS IN PLACE. Dust and other small debris
will go directly to the motor, causing over-heating
and the potential for fire and/or explosion.

10. DO NOT ATTEMPT to remove or replace the filter(s)
while the unit is running. Exposed fan blades can cause
severe cuts. Make certain that the unit is
disconnected from the power source.

11. MAINTAIN THE UNIT in top condition. Clogged
filters can increase the potential for fire or
explosion. Follow all instructions for changing and
cleaning filters.

12. STORE THE UNIT in a location that eliminates
the potential for damage to the power cord. A
damaged power cord can cause shock or
electrocution. Safely store power cord on the unit
to eliminate tripping hazards.

13. TURN THE UNIT “OFF” and disconnect the unit
from the power source before installing or
removing accessories, before adjusting or
changing set-ups, or when making repairs. An
accidental start-up can cause serious injury.

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. 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 matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the
machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of
the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low
voltage will damage the machine.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

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

If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the
machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like
the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to connect
this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown
in Fig. B 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.

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 machines:

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 machine is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment­grounding 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 machine is
properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor
receptacles that accept the machine’s plug, as shown in
Fig. A.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

POWER CONNECTIONS

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your machine is wired for 120 volts, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source,
make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
