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.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY

1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ INSTRUCTION

MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE TOOL. Learn the

tool’s application and limitations as well as the specific
hazards peculiar to it.

2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

3. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.

Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it “on”.

5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and

benches invite accidents.

6. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t

use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them
to rain. Keep work area well-lighted.

7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children

and visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.

8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF – with padlocks,

master switches, or by removing starter keys.

9. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be

safer at the rate for which it was designed.

10. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed.

11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in
moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.

12.

ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Wear safety

glasses. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses; they are not safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty. These safety glasses
must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements. Note:
Approved glasses have Z87 printed or stamped on
them.

13. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work
when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees
both hands to operate tool.

14. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.

15. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

16. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when
changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
accessories and attachments not recommended by Delta
may cause hazards or risk of injury to persons.

18. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before
plugging in power cord.

In the event of a power failure,

move switch to the “OFF” position.

19. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur
if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally
contacted.

20. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function – check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced.

21. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or
cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter
only.

22. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.

23. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate
tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.

24. MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM
POWER SUPPLY while motor is being mounted,
connected or re-connected.

25. THE DUST GENERATED by certain woods and wood
products can be injurious to your health. Always operate
machinery in well ventilated areas and provide for proper
dust removal. Use wood dust collection systems whenever
possible.

26.

WARNING: SOME DUST CREATED BY
POWER SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING,
AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES contains

chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:

· lead from lead-based paints,

· crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and

· arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on

how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them often

and use them to instruct others.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

FOR TABLE SAWS

1. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR TOOL until it is
completely assembled and installed according to the
instructions.

2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the opera­tion of circular saws, obtain advice from your supervisor,
instructor, or other qualified person.

3. ALWAYS use guard, splitter and anti-kickback fingers
on all “thru-sawing” operations. Thru-sawing operations
are those when the blade cuts completely through the
workpiece as in ripping or cross-cutting.

4. ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the miter gage
or fence.

5. NEVER use the fence as a cut-off gage when cross-
cutting.

6. MOVE the rip fence out of the way when cross-
cutting.

7. NEVER perform any operation “free-hand” which
means using your hands to support or guide the
workpiece. Always use either the fence or miter gage to
position and guide the work.

8. ALWAYS use a push stick for ripping narrow stock.
Refer to ripping applications in instruction manual where
the push stick is covered in detail.

9. AVOID kickbacks (work thrown back toward you) by:

A. Keeping blade sharp.

B. Keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade.

C. Keeping splitter and anti-kickback fingers and

guard in place and operating.

D. Not releasing the work before it is pushed all the

way past the saw blade.

E. Not ripping work that is twisted or warped or

does not have a straight edge to guide along
the fence.

10. AVOID awkward operations and hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into
the cutting tool.

11. ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from the
cutting tool.

12. NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line
with the path of the saw blade.

13. NEVER reach behind or over the cutting tool with
either hand for any reason.

14. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into cutting tool
against the direction or rotation of the cutting tool only.

15. DO NOT feed the material too fast while cutting.
Feed the material only fast enough so that the blade will
cut.

16. NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without
first turning the saw “OFF.”

17. NEVER start the saw with the workpiece pressed
against the blade.

18. NEVER turn the saw “ON” before clearing the table
of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.).

19. ALWAYS STOP the saw before removing scrap
pieces from the table.

20. NEVER perform layout, assembly or set-up work on
the table while the saw is operating.

21. PROVIDE adequate support to the rear and sides of
the saw table for wide or long workpieces.

22. WHEN cutting mouldings, NEVER run the stock
between the fence and the moulding cutterhead.

23. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents
could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
Only a soft damp cloth should be used to clean plastic
parts.

24. SHOULD any part of your tool be missing, damaged,
or fail in any way, or any electrical components fail to
perform properly, shut off tool and remove plug from
power supply outlet. Replace missing, damaged or failed
parts before resuming operation.

25. IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use, the

switch should be locked in the “OFF” position to
prevent unauthorized use.

26. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe
and proper operation of this product is available from the
National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca,

CONNECTING TOOL TO POWER SOURCE

POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. 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 3-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. Before connecting the motor 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 tool. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will
damage the motor.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your tool is wired for 120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the tool to the power source, make sure
the switch is in the “OFF” position. The no-load speed of the motor is 5500 RPM.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM
ELECTRIC SHOCK.

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. AA. The tool has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig.
AA. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in Fig. BB, may be used to connect this plug to
a 2-hole receptacle as shown in Fig. BB 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 3-hole receptacles that accept
the tool’s plug, as shown in Fig. AA.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

HOLES

HOLES

Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which
has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-hole receptacle which will accept the tool’s plug. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the saw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. DD, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord
length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
