fire, and/or serious personal injury or property damage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ THE INSTRUCTION
MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE.
Learning the machine’s application, limitations, and
specific hazards will greatly minimize the possibility of
accidents and injury.
2. WEAR EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Eye protection equipment
should comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards. Hearing
equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19
standards.
3. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
4. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE IN A DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT. The use of power tools in damp or
wet locations or in rain can cause shock or
electrocution. Keep your work area well-lit to prevent
tripping or placing arms, hands, and fingers in danger.
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 reduce
the risk of 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 UNATTENDED.
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.
22. MAKE YOUR WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF WITH
PADLOCKS, MASTER SWITCHES, OR BY
REMOVING STARTER KEYS. The accidental start-up
of a machine by a child or visitor could cause injury.
23. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND
USE COMMON SENSE. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE
WHEN YOU ARE TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in
injury.
24. USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE
AND DISBURSE DUST OR OTHER AIRBORNE
PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST,
CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST AND ASBESTOS DUST.
Direct particles away from face and body. Always
operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for
proper dust removal. Use dust collection system
wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other injury,
including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and
death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged
contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth
or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of
harmful material. Always use properly fitting
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed
areas with soap and water.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often
and use them to instruct others.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS 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. USE THE GUARDS WHENEVER POSSIBLE. Check
to see that they are in place, secured, and working
correctly.
5. KICKBACK IS THE NATURAL TENDENCY OF THE
WORKPIECE TO BE THROWN BACK AT THE
OPERATOR when the workpiece initially contacts the
blade or if the workpiece pinches the blade. Kickback
is dangerous and can result in serious injury.
AVOID KICKBACK by:
A. keeping blade sharp and free of rust and pitch.
B. keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade.
C. using saw blade guard and spreader for every
possible operation, including all through sawing.
D. pushing the workpiece past the saw blade prior to
release.
E. never ripping a workpiece that is twisted or
warped, or does not have a straight edge to guide
along the fence.
F. using featherboards when the anti-kickback device
cannot be used.
G. never sawing a large workpiece that cannot be
controlled.
H. never using the fence as a guide when
crosscutting.
I. never sawing a workpiece with loose knots or other
flaws.
6. ALWAYS USE GUARDS, SPLITTER, AND ANTI-
KICKBACK FINGERS whenever possible.
7. REMOVE CUT-OFF PIECES AND SCRAPS from the
table before starting the saw. The vibration of the
machine may cause them to move into the saw blade
and be thrown out. After cutting, turn the machine off.
After the blade has come to a complete stop, remove
all debris.
8. NEVER START THE MACHINE with the workpiece
against the blade.
9. NEVER run the workpiece between the fence and a
moulding cutterhead.
10. CUTTING THE WORKPIECE WITHOUT THE USE OF
A FENCE OR MITER GAUGE IS KNOWN AS
“FREEHAND” CUTTING. NEVER perform “free-hand”
operations. Use either the fence or miter gauge to
position and guide the workpiece.
11. HOLD THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the miter
gauge or fence.
12. CUTTING COMPLETELY THROUGH THE WORK-
PIECE IS KNOWN AS “THROUGH-SAWING”.
Ripping and cross-cutting are through-sawing
operations. Cutting with the grain (or down the length
of the workpiece) is ripping. Cutting across the grain (or
across the workpiece) is cross-cutting. Use a fence or
fence system for ripping. DO NOT use a fence or fence
system for cross-cutting. Instead, use a miter gauge.
USE PUSH STICK(S) for ripping a narrow workpiece.
13. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause a hand
to move into the blade.
14. KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the
blade.
15. NEVER have any part of your body in line with the path
of the saw blade.
16. NEVER REACH AROUND or over the saw blade.
17. NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first
turning the machine “OFF”.
18. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE workpieces.
19. NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, assembly or set-up work
on the table/work area when the machine is running.
20. 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.
21. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, disconnect the machine
from the power source, and clean the table/work area
before leaving the machine. LOCK THE SWITCH IN
THE “OFF” POSITION to prevent unauthorized use.

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.

Fig. 4A
ELEVATING AND SUPPORTING SURFACES FOR A SAW WITH NO STAND
A
The saw must be elevated enough for sawdust to fall
through the bottom of the saw and not build up around
the motor.
Position the four mounting holes located on the base
of the saw cabinet (two of which are shown at (A) Fig.
4A) over whatever proper support you are using. Then
securely fasten the saw to the supports. The saw can
be secured by fastening the stand through the
mounting holes with suitable hardware (not supplied).
THE SAW SUPPORT MUST BE STABLE
AND ABLE TO SUPPORT 300 POUNDS.
You can also construct a simple elevated support, as
shown in Fig. 4B.
USE A GOOD GRADE OF PLYWOOD
WITH A MINIMUM 3/4" THICKNESS. DO NOT MAKE
THE MOUNTING BOARD FROM PARTICLE BOARD
SINCE PARTICLE BOARD BREAKS EASILY.
A HOLE MUST BE PROVIDED IN THIS
SUPPORT TO ALLOW SAWDUST TO FALL THROUGH.
Square the saw on the supporting surface and mark the
location for four 5/16 inch holes to be drilled (Fig. 4B).
MAKE SURE THERE IS AT LEAST 3"
ON ALL FOUR SIDES OF THE BASE.
Set the saw aside and then drill holes in these marks.
Locate and mark an 11" or 12" square centered
between the four mounting holes. Cut out and remove
the square (Fig. 4B).
To elevate the supporting surface, measure two 2x4s
(A) Fig. 4B to the width of two opposite sides of the
supporting surface. Attach the supporting surface to
the narrow edges of the 2X4s (as shown in Fig. 4B)
using wood screws (not provided) in at least three
spots (B) Fig. 4B on each side.
