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

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 setups, 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.

422-04-651-0064 - 06-20-05.qxd 6/20/05 1:42 PM Page 4

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

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.
