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.

THE SAW MUST BE PROPERLY SECURED TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE. ALSO, FAILURE TO PROVIDE A SAWDUST FALL-THROUGH AND REMOVAL HOLE WILL ALLOW SAWDUST TO BUILD UP AROUND THE MOTOR, CAUSING A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD AND/OR MOTOR DAMAGE.
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.
