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 com

­mon 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.

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, neck-
ties, 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 acces-
sories 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.

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 re­connected.

25. THE DUST GENERATED by certain woods and wood prod-
ucts 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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR

MITER SAWS

1. USE ONLY CROSS-CUTTING SAW BLADES.
WHEN USING CARBIDE TIPPED BLADES, MAKE
SURE THEY HAVE A NEGATIVE HOOK ANGLE. DO
NOT USE BLADES WITH DEEP GULLETS AS THEY
CAN DEFLECT AND CONTACT GUARD.

2. DO NOT OPERATE the miter saw until it is com-
pletely assembled and installed according to the instruc­tions.

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

4. DO NOT perform any operation freehand. Secure or
clamp workpiece firmly against fence.

5. KEEP HANDS OUT OF PATH of saw blade. If the
workpiece you are cutting would cause your hand to be
within hazard zone of the saw blade, the workpiece
should be clamped in place before making cut.

6. BE SURE blade is sharp, runs freely and is free of
vibration.

7. ALLOW the motor to come up to full speed before
starting cut.

8. KEEP motor air slots clean and free of chips.

9. ALWAYS MAKE SURE all clamp handles are tight
before cutting, even if the table is positioned in one of
the positive stops.

10. BE SURE blade and flanges are clean and that
arbor screw is tightened securely.

11. USE only blade flanges specified for your saw.

12. NEVER use blades larger or smaller in diameter than
ten inches.

13. NEVER apply lubricants to the blade when it is
running.

CONNECTING SAW 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-pole 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 miter saw is wired for 110-120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the miter saw to the power
source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position. The motor provides a no-load speed of 5200 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 normal 120-volt circuit
and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illus­trated in Fig. 10.
If a properly grounded outlet is not available, a tempo­rary adapter, shown in Fig. 11, may be used for con­necting the 3-prong grounding type plug to a 2-prong
receptacle. 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, or
the like extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box cover. 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
CERTIFIED 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 equipment-grounding 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. 10.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

777

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-pole
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. 12, shows the correct gage to use
depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier
the cord.
