GENERAL SAFETY RULES
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

5. MAINTAIN ALL TOOLS AND MACHINES IN PEAK CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Poorly maintained tools and machines can further damage the tool or machine and/or cause injury.
6. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using the machine, check for any damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or any other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. Damaged parts can cause further damage to the machine and/or injury.
7. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Your shop is a potentially dangerous environment. Children and visitors can be injured.
9. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure that the switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the power cord. In the event of a power failure, move the switch to the “OFF” position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
10. USE THE GUARDS. Check to see that all guards are in place, secured, and working correctly to prevent injury.
11. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE. Tools, scrap pieces, and other debris can be thrown at high speed, causing injury.
12. USE THE RIGHT MACHINE. Don’t force a machine or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Damage to the machine and/or injury may result.
13. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use
of accessories and attachments not recom­mended by Delta may cause damage to the machine or injury to the user.
14. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. See the Extension Cord Chart for the correct size depending on the cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
15. SECURE THE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to
hold the workpiece when practical. Loss of control of a workpiece can cause injury.
16. FEED THE WORKPIECE AGAINST THE DIRECTION
OF THE ROTATION OF THE BLADE, CUTTER, OR ABRASIVE SURFACE. Feeding it from the other
direction will cause the workpiece to be thrown out at high speed.
17. DON’T FORCE THE WORKPIECE ON THE MACHINE. Damage to the machine and/or injury may result.
18. DON’T OVERREACH. Loss of balance can make you fall into a working machine, causing injury.
19. NEVER STAND ON THE MACHINE. Injury could occur if the tool tips, or if you accidentally contact the cutting tool.
20. NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTEN- DED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Don’t leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop. A child or visitor could be injured.
21. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, AND DISCONNECT THE MACHINE 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 injury.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR SCROLL SAWS
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is
assembled and installed according to the instructions.
2. OBTAIN ADVICE FROM YOUR SUPERVISOR,
instructor, or another qualified person if you are not
familiar with the operation of this machine.
3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended
electrical connections.
4. YOUR SCROLL SAW MUST be securely fastened
to a stand or workbench. If there is any tendency for the stand or workbench to move during operation, the stand or workbench MUST be fastened to the floor.
5. THIS SCROLL SAW is intended for indoor use only.
6. MAKE SURE blade is properly tensioned before
operating saw.
7. TO AVOID blade breakage ALWAYS adjust blade
tension correctly.
8. MAKE SURE the blade teeth point downward
toward the table.
9. NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing the table
of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.).
10. DO NOT cut material that is too small to be safely supported.
11. AVOID awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the blade.
12. ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from blade.
13. ALWAYS adjust holddown foot for each new operation.
14. DO NOT USE dull or bent blades.
15. DO NOT attempt to saw material that does not have a flat surface, unless a suitable support is used.
16. MAKE "relief" cuts before cutting long curves.
17. NEVER attempt to cut a curve that is too tight for the blade being used.
18. WHEN backing a blade out of a workpiece, the blade may bind in the saw kerf. This is usually caused by sawdust in the kerf. If this happens, turn "OFF" the switch and remove plug from power source outlet. Wedge open the kerf and back blade out of the workpiece.
19. THE USE of attachments and accessories not recommended by Delta may result in the risk of injuries.
20. ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the table.
21. DO NOT feed the material too fast while cutting. Only feed the material fast enough so that the blade will cut.
22. NEVER start the Scroll Saw with the stock pressed against the blade.
23. WHEN cutting a large workpiece MAKE SURE the material is supported at table height.
24. USE CAUTION when cutting material which is irregular in cross section which could pinch the blade before the cut is completed. A piece of moulding for example must lay flat on the table and not be permitted to rock while being cut.
25. USE CAUTION when cutting round material such as dowel rods or tubing. They have a tendency to roll while being cut causing the blade to "bite." Use a V-block to control the piece.
26. ALWAYS release blade tension before removing the blade from the upper or lower blade holders.
27. MAKE CERTAIN table tilting lock is tightened before starting the machine.
28. NEVER reach under the table while the machine is running.

POWER CONNECTIONS
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 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.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your machine is wired for 120 volt, 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.
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.
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.
