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.

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. A. The tool has 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.
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 matching 3-conductor
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug, as shown in Fig. A.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
The motor supplied with your down draft table is a dual
voltage 120/240 volt motor. If it is desired to operate your
down draft table at 240 volts, single phase, contact your
local Authorized Delta Service Center or a qualified
electrician. Your Authorized Delta Service Center or a
qualified electrician can provide the proper procedures
to rewire your down draft table motor for 240 volt
operation and wiring a 240 volt attachment plug to the
power supply cord. The down draft table with a 240 volt
plug should only be connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug illustrated in Fig. C. No
adapter is available or should be used with the 240-volt
plug. AS A PRECAUTION IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN
THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
