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 USE

The following examples show set-up and operational procedures when using the fence, collars, and starting pin. Please review this information carefully before turning on the power to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the machine.

SHAPING WHEN USING THE FENCE

AS A GUIDE

Using the fence is the safest and most satisfactory method of shaping. Most straight work can be shaped using the fence described below.

1.

For average work, where a portion of the original edge of the work is not touched by the cutter, both the front and rear fences are in a straight line (Fig. 24).

2.

When the shaping operation removes the entire edge of the work (jointing or making a full bead), the shaped edge will not be supported by the rear fence when both fences are in line (Fig. 25). In this case, advance the work to the position shown in Fig. 25 and stop.

3.

Advance the rear fence to contact the work (Fig. 26), putting it in line with the cutting circle.

SHAPING WITH COLLARS AND STARTING PIN

When shaping with collars and starting pin, follow the rules below for superior finishing and safety in operation.

Free the collars of ALL gum or other substances, and confirm that they are smooth.

2.

Confirm that the edge of the work is smooth. ANY irregularity in the surface that rides against the collar will be duplicated on the molded surface.

3.

A portion of the edge of the work MUST remain untouched by the cutters in order for the collar to have sufficient bearing surface. The wrong method is shown in Fig. 27, while Fig. 28 illustrates the right method.

4.

The work MUST be fairly heavy in proportion to the cut being made (Fig. 28). Under NO circumstances should short work of light body be shaped against the collars (Fig. 30).

5.

When shaping with collars and starting pin, use the spindle guard supplied with the machine.

POSITION OF COLLARS

1.

The collars may be used in any of three positions: above, below, or between two cutters.

2.

When the collar is used below the cutter (Fig. 31), the operator can see the progress of the cut. NOTE: Any accidental lifting of the work will gouge the wood and ruin the workpiece.

3.

When the collar is used above the cutter (Fig. 32), the operator will be unable to see the cut. However, the advantage in this method is that the cut is not affected by slight variations in the thickness of the stock. Also, accidental lifting of the work will not gouge the workpiece. Simple correction for the mistake is to repeat the operation.

4.

The collar between cutters method (Fig. 33) utilizes the advantages of the first two methods and is frequently used when both edges of the workpiece are to be shaped.

END SHAPING

Maintain sufficient support of the workpiece during all shaping operations. USE A MITER GAUGE OR BACK-UP BLOCK

(Figs. 34 and 35) when end shaping a workpiece that is too short to be sufficiently supported halfway through the cut,

Shaping a narrow workpiece without sufficient support could result in serious injury.

The infeed fence assembly must be parallel to the miter slot when using the miter gauge. Adjust the outfeed fence so that it will not contact the workpiece after it has passed the cutter. Place the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge and the infeed fence, and feed the cutter by pushing the miter gauge.

Failure to hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge during the cut could result in slippage of the workpiece, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to the workpiece.

CROSS GRAIN SHAPING

Shaping across the grain will usually cause some splitting at the end of the cut. Feeding the workpiece slowly across the cutter at the end of the cut can minimize the splitting. Shape the cross-grain cuts first. Shaping with the grain last will usually remove the splintered end.

SHAPING NARROW MATERIAL

Clamp a support (Fig. 36) to the machine when shaping narrow material (less than 3" wide) Feed the workpiece under this support with a push stick. NOTE: The push stick should be slightly narrower and thinner than the workpiece.

Shaping narrow material without proper support and push stick could result in serious injury.

STARTING PIN

1.

The machine is supplied with a tapered starting pin (A)

Fig. 37, which is used as a support when starting the cut. The starting pin (A) is placed in one of the tapered holes (B) in the table.

2.

Place the work in the first position using the guide pin as a support (Fig. 38). Swing the work into the cutter as shown in the second position (Fig. 38). The work will be supported by the collar and starting pin (Fig. 38).

3.

After the cut has started, swing the work free of the starting pin and let it ride only against the collar

(third position, Fig. 39). ALWAYS FEED THE WORK-

PIECE AGAINST THE ROTATION OF THE CUTTER.

REPLACING SPINDLE CARTRIDGE

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

1.

IMPORTANT: When replacing the spindle cartridge (B) Fig. 40, loosen the bolt (A). Remove the spindle cartridge.

Replace with a new spindle cartridge. Tighten the bolt (A) ONLY 7 to 10 foot pounds.

2.

Always align the spindle pulley (D) Fig. 41, and motor pulley (E) to provide maximum belt performance and to reduce belt wear. To check the pulley alignment, place a straight edge against the underside of both pulleys (Fig. 41). If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the set screw (F) and move the motor pulley up or down until the two pulleys (D) and

(E) are aligned. Tighten the set screw.

3.

Using light finger pressure on the belt between pulleys (D) and (E) Fig. 41, a deflection of approximately 3/32" will constitute proper belt tension.

MAINTENANCE

KEEP MACHINE CLEAN

Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.

LUBRICATION

Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table and extension table or other work surface weekly.

PROTECTING CAST IRON FROM RUST

Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while using compressed air.

FAILURE TO START

Should your machine fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.

To clean and protect cast iron tables from rust, you will need the following materials: 1 pushblock from a jointer,

1 sheet of medium Scotch-Brite™ Blending Hand Pad, 1 can of WD-40 ® , 1 can of degreaser, 1 can of TopCote ®

Aerosol. Apply the WD-40 and polish the table surface with the Scotch-Brite pad using the pushblock as a holddown. Degrease the table, then apply the TopCote ® accordingly.
