19. TIGHTEN THE TABLE CLAMP HANDLE and any other clamps prior to operation. Loose clamps can cause parts or the workpiece to be thrown at high speeds.

20. NEVER START THE TOOL with the blade against the workpiece. The workpiece can be thrown, causing serious injury.

21. KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the blade to prevent severe cuts. Clamp all workpieces that would cause your hand to be in the

“Table Hazard Zone” (within the red lines).

22. DON’T PLACE HANDS IN THE BLADE AREA when the saw is connected to a power source.

23. DON’T REACH UNDERNEATH THE SAW unless it is unplugged or turned off. The saw blade is exposed on the underside of the saw.

24. ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME TO FULL SPEED prior to starting cut.

Starting the cut too soon can cause damage to the machine or blade and/or serious injury.

25. NEVER REACH AROUND or behind the saw blade. A moving blade can cause serious injury.

26. NEVER CUT FERROUS METALS or masonry. Either of these can cause the carbide tips to fly off the blade at high speeds causing serious injury.

27. NEVER CUT SMALL PIECES. Cutting small pieces can cause your hand to move into the blade, resulting in serious injury.

28. NEVER LOCK THE SWITCH in the “ON” position. Setting up the next cut could cause your hand to move into the blade, resulting in severe injury.

29. NEVER APPLY LUBRICANT to a running blade. Applying lubricant could cause your hand to move into the blade, resulting in serious injury.

30. DO NOT PERFORM FREE-HAND OPERATIONS. Hold the work firmly against the fence and table. Free-hand operations on a miter saw could cause the workpiece to be thrown at high speeds, causing serious injury.

Use clamps to hold the work when possible.

31. CUTTINGHEAD MUST RETURN QUICKLY TO THE FULL UP

POSITION. Failure to do so will not allow the lower guard to operate properly and may result in personal injury.

32. TURN OFF THE MACHINE and allow the blade to come to a complete stop prior to cleaning the blade area or removing debris in the path of the blade. A moving blade can cause serious injury.

33. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORK-PIECES. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause injury.

34. NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR SET-UP WORK on the table/work area when the machine is running. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the blade. Severe injury can result.

35. DON’T ALLOW ANYONE to stand behind the saw.

36. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, disconnect the machine from the power source, and clean the table/work area before leaving the machine. LOCK

THE SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION to prevent unauthorized use.

Someone else might accidentally start the machine and cause injury to themselves.

37. BEFORE OPERATING THE SAW, check and securely lock the bevel, miter, and sliding fence adjustments.

POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. 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 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch

(s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.

Do not expose the machine to rain or operate the machine in damp locations.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your machine is wired for 120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:

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 machine 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 machine is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept the machine’s plug, as shown in Fig. A.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:

If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig.

B, may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. B 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.

In all cases, make certain that the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE MACHINE

To start the machine, depress the switch trigger (A) Fig. 13. To stop the machine, release the switch trigger.

This saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade brake. As soon as the switch trigger (A) Fig. 13 is released, the electric brake is activated and stops the blade in seconds.

A rotating saw blade can be dangerous. After completing the cut, release the switch trigger (A) Fig. 13 to activate the blade brake. Keep the cuttinghead down until the blade has come to a complete stop.

The torque developed during braking may loosen the arbor screw. The arbor screw should be checked periodically and tightened if necessary.

LOCKING THE SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION

IMPORTANT: When the miter saw is not in use, the switch should be locked in the "OFF" position, using a padlock (B) Fig. 14 with a 3/16" diameter shackle to prevent unauthorized use of the saw.

In the event of a power outage, always lock switch in “OFF” position until the main power is restored.

LASER USE AND ADJUSTMENT

The TwinLaser™ laser units are mounted in a housing that is fitted into the upper blade guard of the miter saw (Fig. A). The lasers project a beam of light downward, along both sides and parallel to the saw blade. This beam of light produces a lineof-cut indicator (a red outline of where the saw blade will cut) on the workpiece.

ADJUSTING THE TwinLaser™ LINES

The laser lines have been aligned parallel to the blade at the factory and should not need any adjustment prior to use.

However, left-to-right adjustment to the laser lines may be necessary if you change to a thicker or thinner kerf blade. For information on changing your blade, refer to the "MAINTENANCE: CHANGING THE BLADE" section of this manual.

To adjust the laser lines to the edge of the cut, follow the instructions below.

HOW THE LASERS WORK

The laser units are mounted in a housing that is fitted into the upper blade guard of the miter saw (Fig. A). The laser units are aligned to the original equipment blade at the factory and are secured in place. A test cut has been made with each saw to verify laser setup. If your saw becomes misaligned or you desire additional precision, this guide is intended to assist you in fine-tuning your laser miter saw.

HOW TO CHECK LASER ALIGNMENT

Set the saw to 0 degrees, miter and bevel, and clamp a 2"x 6" board on the saw. Create a partial test cut in the workpiece (Fig. C). Press the laser switch to the “ON” position (Fig. B), observe where the lines fall, and make a decision as to whether an adjustment is necessary. Leave the workpiece clamped in place for the remainder of the adjustment.

Observe the CAUTION label (L) Fig. B2.

Place a padlock (A) Fig. B2 (with 3/16" shackle) through the hole in the trigger switch and lock to prevent accidental motor startup. This padlock MUST remain in place during the adjustment procedure.

The laser lines are properly positioned when the beams of light fall on the edge of the cut created by the blade (Fig. D).

1. The vertical alignment is set correctly when the lines do not move horizontally (sideways) as the saw head is raised and lowered. If vertical alignment is correct, go to “TO SET LEFT AND RIGHT KERF ADJUSTMENT”.

2. To adjust, turn the left and right kerf adjustment screws one half turn clockwise. Take off the laser unit cover by removing the phillips screw on either side of the cover. (Fig. A).

3. Use the 1/8" hex wrench to turn the left or right vertical alignment set screws. If, as the saw head goes from a raised to a lowered position, the laser line moves horizontally away from the blade, turn the vertical alignment set screw clockwise to correct. If the laser line moves horizontally towards the blade, turn the vertical alignment set screw counter-clockwise.

(Fig. F)

4. Reinstall the cover removed in STEP 1, and continue to “TO SET LEFT AND RIGHT KERF ADJUSTMENT”.

TwinLaser™ MAINTENANCE

For best laser performance, perform the following maintenance regularly:

Disconnect the machine from the power source!

1. Carefully clean sawdust from each laser lens (A) Fig. J with a cotton swab (B). Do not use solvents of any kind since they may damage the lens. Avoid touching sharp points of the saw blade with your hands or fingers.

Dust build-up can block the laser and prevent it from accurately indicating the line-of-cut.

2. Remove the blade from the saw and clean pitch buildup from the blade (Fig. K) Pitch build-up can block the laser and prevent it from accurately indicating the lineof-cut.

ADJUSTING LOWER BLADE GUARD

After an extended period of use, the movable lower blade guard (A) Fig. 32 may not operate smoothly when the cuttinghead is lowered. You can correct this by adjusting the nut (B) until the lower blade guard (A) moves freely

.

Do not over-tighten the nut as this can make the guard hard to move.

MACHINE USE

TYPICAL OPERATIONS AND HELPFUL HINTS

1. Before cutting, make certain the cutting arm and table are at their correct settings and firmly locked in place.

2. Place the workpiece on the table and hold or clamp it firmly against the fence. Fig. 33 illustrates the work clamp (A). The clamp (A) can also be used on the right side of the machine.

3. If the position or size of the workpiece

causes your hand to be in the “Hazard Zone”, use the work clamp to secure the workpiece. Keep your hands out of the “Hazard Zone”.

4. For best results, cut at a slow, even cutting rate.

5. Never attempt freehand cutting (wood that is not held firmly against the fence and table).

AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE

When performing multiple or repetitive operations that result in small cut-off pieces (one inch or less), the saw blade can catch the cut-off pieces and project them out of the machine or into the blade guard and housing, causing damage or injury. To limit the risk, mount an auxiliary wood fence on your saw (Fig. 34).

Holes are provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence

(A) Fig. 34. This auxiliary fence is constructed of straight wood approximately 1/2" thick by 3" high by 20" long. NOTE: The auxiliary fence (A) is used ONLY with the saw blade in the 0

°

bevel position (90 degrees to the table). When bevel cutting

(blade tilted), remove the auxiliary fence.

GENERAL CUTTING OPERATIONS

1. Your machine has the capacity to cut standard 2 x 4’s lying flat or on edge, at the 45 degree right and left miter angles (Figs.

A1 and A2).

2. A standard 2 x 6 can be cut in the 90 degree straight cut-off position in one pass (Fig. A3).

3. Cutting a standard 4 x 4 can be accomplished with one pass (Fig. A4).

4. This machine has the capacity to accurately cut crown mouldings and other bevel-type cuts (Fig. A5).

5. Cutting various sizes of plastic pipe is an easy job with this machine (Fig. A6).

CUTTING ALUMINUM

Aluminum extrusions such as used for making aluminum screens and storm windows can easily be cut with your compound miter saw. When cutting aluminum extrusions, or other sections that can be cut with a saw blade and are within the capacity of the machine, position the material so the blade is cutting through the smallest cross-section (Fig. 35). The wrong way to cut aluminum angles is illustrated in Fig. 36. Be sure to apply a stick wax to the blade before cutting aluminum stock.

This stick wax is available at most industrial mill supply houses. The wax provides proper lubrication and keeps chips from adhering to the blade.

Never apply lubricant to the blade while the machine is running.

CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL

When cutting flat pieces, check to see if the material is bowed. If it is, Position the material on the table as shown in Fig. 37.

If the material is positioned the wrong way (Fig. 38), the workpiece will pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.

WORK SUPPORT EXTENSIONS

For support when cutting long pieces, construct a work support extension. Fig. 39 illustrates the miter saw mounted on two standard 2 x 4’s (A). Fasten the four mounting legs (two of which are shown at (B) Fig. 39 to the 2 x 4’s, using four screws (not supplied) through the four holes in the mounting legs. The length of the 2 x 4’s (A) can vary, depending on the workpiece.

NOTE: Ensure that the top of the support 2 x 4’s (C) are

level with the miter saw table. This is critical because the distance from the top of the 2 x 4’s (A) to the miter saw table varies from saw to saw. In most cases, standard 2 x 4’s (C) can used. If these are too high, cut them to fit. If the 2 x 4’s are too low, use 2 x 6’s. If these are high, cut them to the correct height.

CUTTING CROWN MOULDING

One of the many features of the saw is the ease of cutting crown moulding. The following is an example of cutting both inside and outside corners on 52°/38° wall angle crown moulding.

1. Move the table to the 31.62° right miter position and lock the table in position. NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle quickly.

2. Tilt the saw blade to the 33.86° left bevel position and tighten bevel lock handle. NOTE: A triangle indicator is provided on the bevel scale to find this angle quickly.

3. Place the crown moulding on the table with the CEILING EDGE of the moulding against the fence, and make the cut, as shown in Fig. C1.

NOTE: The piece of crown moulding used for the outside corner will always be on the right hand side of the blade, as shown at (A)

Fig. C1. The piece of crown moulding used for the inside corner will always be on the left hand side of the blade, as shown at

(B) Fig. C1.

4. To make the matching halves of the inside and outside corners, rotate the table to the 31.62° left miter position.

NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle quickly. The saw blade is already tilted to the 33.86° left bevel position from the previous cut.

5. Place the crown moulding on the table with the WALL EDGE of the crown moulding against the fence and make the cut. Again, the piece of crown moulding used for the outside corner will always be on the right side of the blade, as shown at (C) Fig. C2. The piece of crown moulding used for the inside corner will always be on the left side of the blade, as shown at (D) Fig. C2.

6. Fig. C3 illustrates the two outside corner pieces - (A) being the piece cut at (A) Fig. C1 and (C) being the piece cut at (C) Fig.

C2.

7. Fig. C4 illustrates the two inside corner pieces - (B) being the piece cut at (B) Fig. C1, and (D) being the piece cut at (D) Fig. C2.

45-45 CROWN MOULDING

NOTE: If you are cutting crown moulding that is 45°-45°, follow the same procedure above, with the exception that the bevel position will always be at 30° and the miter position will be 35-1/4° to the right or left.

OTHER ANGLES

NOTE: The above instructions are assuming the angle between the walls is 90°. If you need help cutting crown moulding set at angles other than 90°, see the instruction sheet “CUTTING CROWN MOULDING” on the Delta Machinery web site at www.deltamachinery.
