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 over- looked 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, careless 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 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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Power Source

A seperate electrical circuit should be used for your tool. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure 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.

WARNING: DO NOT EXPOSE THE TOOL TO RAIN OR OPERATE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

Grounding Instructions

WARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR

FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

All grounded, cord-connected tools:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for 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.

OPERATIONS

Shaping When using the Fence as a

Guide

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

Figure 26

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. 26).

Figure 27

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. 27). In this case, the work should be advanced to the position shown in Fig. 27 and stopped.

Figure 28

The rear fence should then be advanced to contact the work (Fig. 28). The rear fence will be in line with the cutting circle.

Typical Shaping Operation

Figure 29

This set-up illustrates a typical shaping operation with the fence halves in a straight line.

Note: The fence placement relative to the cutter and notice the stock guide position.
