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.
