KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Your shop is a potentially dangerous environment. Children and visitors can be injured.

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

4 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.

24. TAKE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST DUST

INHALATION. The dust generated by certain woods and wood products 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. Also, use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Dust mask protection should comply with MSHA/NIOSH certified respirator standards. Splinters, air-borne debris, and dust can cause irritation, injury, and/or illness.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TABLE SAWS

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is assembled and installed according to the instructions.

OBTAIN ADVICE FROM YOUR SUPERVISOR,

instructor, or another qualified person if you are not familiar with the operation of this machine.

FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections.

ALWAYS USE GUARDS, SPLITTER, AND ANTI-

KICKBACK FINGERS whenever possible. Check to see that they are in place, secured, and working correctly.

KICKBACK IS THE NATURAL TENDENCY OF THE

WORKPIECE TO BE THROWN BACK AT THE

OPERATOR when the workpiece initially contacts the blade or if the workpiece pinches the blade. Kickback is dangerous and can result in serious injury.

AVOID KICKBACK by:

A. keeping blade sharp and free of rust and pitch.

B. keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade.

C. using saw blade guard and spreader for every possible operation, including all through sawing.

D. pushing the workpiece past the saw blade prior to release.

never ripping a workpiece that is twisted or warped, or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.

using featherboards when the anti-kickback device cannot be used.

G. never sawing a large workpiece that cannot be controlled.

H. never using the fence as a guide when crosscutting.

never sawing a workpiece with loose knots or other flaws.

REMOVE CUT-OFF PIECES AND SCRAPS from the table before starting the saw. The vibration of the machine may cause them to move into the saw blade and be thrown out. After cutting, turn the machine off.

After the blade has come to a complete stop, remove all debris.

NEVER START THE MACHINE with the workpiece against the blade.

NEVER run the workpiece between the fence and a moulding cutterhead.

10. CUTTING THE WORKPIECE WITHOUT THE USE OF

A FENCE OR MITER GAUGE IS KNOWN AS

“FREEHAND” CUTTING. NEVER perform “free-hand” operations. Use either the fence or miter gauge to position and guide the workpiece.

11. HOLD THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the miter gauge or fence.

12. CUTTING COMPLETELY THROUGH THE WORK-

PIECE IS KNOWN AS “THROUGH-SAWING”.

Ripping and cross-cutting are through-sawing operations. Cutting with the grain (or down the length of the workpiece) is ripping. Cutting across the grain (or across the workpiece) is cross-cutting. Use a fence or fence system for ripping. DO NOT use a fence or fence system for cross-cutting. Instead, use a miter gauge.

USE PUSH STICK(S) for ripping a narrow workpiece.

13. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND

POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the blade.

14. KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the blade.

15. NEVER have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade.

16. NEVER REACH AROUND or over the saw blade.

17. NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the machine “OFF”.

18. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE workpieces.

19. NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, assembly or set-up work on the table/work area when the machine is running.

20. 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.

21. 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.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your machine is wired for 120/240 volts, 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 equipmentgrounding 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 equipmentgrounding 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 t h e g r o u n d i n g i n s t r u c t i o n s a r e n o t c o m p l e t e l y 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 THE

Turn the blade tilting handwheel clockwise as far as it will go and use a combination square to see if the blade is at 45° to the table.

If the blade is not at 45° to the table, loosen set screw

(F) Fig. 33, and turn blade tilting handwheel until the blade is 45° to the table. Turn set screw (F) clockwise until it bottoms.

9. Replace blade guard and splitter before using the machine.

CHECKING BLADE ALIGNMENT

The saw has been aligned at the factory so the saw blade is parallel to the miter gage slots; however, it is recommended to check the alignment before initial operation as follows:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER

SOURCE.

Place a combination square (A) Fig. 35, on the table with one edge of the square in the miter gage slot, as shown, and adjust the square so the rule just touches one of the teeth on the saw blade at the forward position, as shown in Fig. 35. Lock the square in this position.

Rotate the saw blade so that the same tooth you used in STEP 1 is in the rear position, as shown in

Fig. 36, and check this distance. Both the front and rear measurements should be identical.

If an adjustment is necessary see “ADJUSTING

BLADE ALIGNMENT.”

Lower blade. Remove blade guard and table insert.

With a 1/2 ″ wrench, slightly loosen the 4 front and rear trunnion mounting bolts. NOTE: Two trunnion mounting bolts (E) Fig. 37 are shown as looking up inside side of saw.

Move the trunnion assembly in the desired direction.

Tap gently with rubber mallet if necessary.

To check blade alignment, follow section

“CHECKING BLADE ALIGNMENT” procedure until proper alignment is achieved. Tighten 4 trunnion bolts (E) Fig. 37.

Check blade alignment again after tightening bolts to confirm alignment. If alignment is off, loosen the 4 trunnion bolts (E) and repeat the above steps until proper alignment is achieved with bolts fully tightened.

Install table insert, blade guard, and lower blade before reconnecting power source.

MITER GAGE OPERATION AND

ADJUSTMENT

The miter gage is equipped with adjustable index stops at

90, 75, 60,45 and 30 degrees.

To rotate the miter gage, loosen lock knob (A) Fig. 40, push the thumb lever (B) down and move the body of the miter gage (C) to the desired angle.

The miter gage is equipped with a plate (D) Fig.41 which fits into the T-Slot groove (E) in the table. This allows the miter gage to be pulled off the front edge of the table without falling. This allows for a longer cut-off capacity in front of the blade.

MACHINE USE

COMMON SAWING OPERATIONS

Common sawing operations include ripping and crosscutting plus a few other standard operations of a fundamental nature. As with all power machines, there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the operation and use of the machine. Using the machine with the respect and caution demanded as far as safety precautions are concerned, will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or completely ignored, personal injury to the operator can result. The following information describes the safe and proper method for performing the most common sawing operations.

THE USE OF ATTACHMENTS AND ACCESSORIES NOT RECOMMENDED BY DELTA MAY RESULT

IN THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE USER OR OTHERS.

CROSS-CUTTING

Cross-cutting requires the use of the miter gage to position and guide the work. Place the work against the miter gage and advance both the gage and work toward the saw blade, as shown in Fig. 42. The miter gage may be used in either table slot. When bevel cutting (blade tilted), use the table groove that does not cause interference of your hand or miter gage with the saw blade guard.

Start the cut slowly and hold the work firmly against the miter gage and the table. One of the rules in running a saw is that you never hang onto or touch the part of the workpiece that will be cut off. Hold the supported piece, not the free piece that is cut off. The feed in crosscutting continues until the work is cut in two, and the miter gage and work are pulled back to the starting point. Before pulling the work back, it is good practice to give the work a little sideways shift to move the work slightly away from the saw blade. Never pick up any short length of free work from the table while the saw is running. While blade is running, never touch a cut-off piece unless it is at least a foot long.

For added safety and convenience the miter gage can be fitted with an auxiliary wood-facing (C), as shown in

Fig. 43 that should be at least 1 inch higher than the maximum depth of cut, and should extend out 12 inches or more to one side or the other depending on which miter gage slot is being used. This auxiliary wood-facing (C) can be fastened to the front of the miter gage by using two wood screws (A) through the holes provided in the miter gage body and into the wood-facing.

NEVER USE THE FENCE AS A CUT-OFF

GAGE WHEN CROSS-CUTTING.

When cross-cutting a number of pieces to the same length, a BLOCK OF WOOD (B), can be clamped to the fence and used as a cut-off gage as shown in Fig. 44. It is important that this block of wood always be positioned in front of the saw blade as shown. Once the cut-off length is determined, secure the fence and use the miter gage to feed the work into the cut. This block of wood allows the cut-off piece to move freely along the table surface without binding between the fence and the saw blade, thereby lessening the possibility of kickback and injury to the operator.

WHEN USING THE BLOCK (B) FIG. 44, AS

A CUT-OFF GAGE, IT IS VERY

IMPORTANT THAT THE REAR END OF THE BLOCK BE

POSITIONED SO THE WORK PIECE IS CLEAR OF THE

BLOCK BEFORE IT ENTERS THE BLADE.

Fig. 42

Fig. 43

Fig. 44

RIPPING

Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a board, (Fig. 45).

NOTE: Be sure the material to be cut is seasoned, dry and flat. The rip fence (A) is used to position and guide the work. One edge of the work rides against the rip fence while the flat side of the board rests on the table.

Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a straight edge and make solid contact with the table.

THE SAW BLADE GUARD MUST BE

USED. ON DELTA SAWS, THE GUARD HAS ANTI-

KICKBACK FINGERS TO PREVENT KICKBACK AND

A SPLITTER TO PREVENT THE WOOD KERF FROM

CLOSING AND BINDING THE BLADE. BE SURE TO

REPLACE OR SHARPEN THE ANTI-KICKBACK

DEVICES WHEN THE POINTS BECOME DULL.

A RIP FENCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE

USED FOR RIPPING OPERATIONS. NEVER

PERFORM A RIPPING OPERATION FREE-HAND.

1. Start the motor and advance the work holding it down and against the fence. Never stand in the line of the saw cut when ripping. When the rip width is 6 inches or wider, hold the work with both hands and push it along the fence and into the saw blade (Fig. 45). The work should then be fed through the saw blade with the right hand. Only use the left hand to guide the workpiece. Do not feed the workpiece with the left hand. After the work is beyond the saw blade and anti-kickback fingers, remove hands from the work.

When this is done the work will either stay on the table, tilt up slightly and be caught by the end of the rear guard, or slide off the table to the floor.

Alternately, the feed can continue to the end of the table, after which the work is lifted and brought along the outside edge of the fence. The cut-off stock remains on the table and is not touched until the saw blade has stopped, unless it is a large piece allowing safe removal. When ripping boards longer than three feet, use a work support at the rear of the saw to keep the workpiece from falling off the saw table.

3. If the ripped work is less than 6 inches wide, a push stick should always be used to complete the feed, as shown in Fig. 46. The push stick can easily be made from scrap material as explained in the section

“CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK.”

4. Ripping narrow pieces can be dangerous if not done carefully. When the piece is too narrow for a push stick to be effective - and if the workpiece is short enough - you can use a pushboard. When ripping material under 2 inches in width, ordinary push sticks may interfere with the blade guard. When using a pushboard, the width of the pushboard must be added to the width of the rip fence position setting. A flat pushboard can be constructed as shown in Fig.

47 and should be used as shown in Fig. 48. NOTE:

GUARD REMOVED FOR CLARITY. ALWAYS USE

THE GUARD.

NOTE: Some special operations (when using the moulding cutterhead) require the addition of an auxiliary wood facing to the fence, as explained in the section “USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING” and use of a push stick.

Fig. 45

Fig. 46

Fig. 47

Fig. 48

USING MOULDING CUTTERHEAD

Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the work. Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead is a fast, safe and clean operation.The many different knife shapes available make it possible for the operator to produce almost any kind of mouldings, such as various styles of corner moulds, picture frames, table edges, etc.

The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can be mounted various shapes of steel knives, (Fig. 49).

Each of the three knives in a set is fitted into a groove in the cutterhead and securely clamped with a screw. The knife grooves should be kept free of sawdust which would prevent the cutter from seating properly.

PLACE OF THE STANDARD TABLE INSERT.

2. When using the moulding cutterhead, add woodfacing (C) Fig. 52 to the face of the rip fence. The woodfacing is attached to the fence with wood screws through holes which must be drilled in the fence. Stock that is 3/4 inch thick is suitable for most work, although an occasional job may require 1 inch facing.

3. Position the wood-facing over the cutterhead with the cutterhead below the surface of the table. Turn the saw on and raise the cutterhead. The cutterhead will cut its own groove in the wood-facing. Fig. 52 shows a typical moulding operation.

NEVER USE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD

AUXILIARY JIGS, FIXTURES, PUSH

STICKS AND FEATHER BOARDS SHOULD BE USED.

1. Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the work. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside saws and four or five inside cutters, (Fig. 53). Various combinations of saws and cutters are used to cut grooves from 1/8

″ to 13/16″ for use in shelving, making joints, tenoning, grooving, etc. The cutters are heavily swaged and must be arranged so that this heavy portion falls in the gullets of the outside saws, as shown in Fig.

54. The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig. 55, (A) being the outside saw, (B) an inside cutter, and (C) a paper washer or washers, used as needed to control the exact width of groove. A 1/4 ″ groove is cut by using the two outside saws. The teeth of the saws should be positioned so that the raker on one saw is beside the cutting teeth on the other saw.

2. Attach the dado head set (D) Fig. 56, to the saw arbor.

NOTE: THE OUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGE CAN NOT BE

USED WITH THE DADO HEAD SET, TIGHTEN THE

USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING

ON RIP FENCE

It is necessary when performing special operations such as when using the moulding cutterhead to add wood facing (A) Fig. 58, to one or both sides of the rip fence.

Depending on the fence, the wood facing is attached to the fence either with wood screws through holes drilled in the fence (as shown in Fig. 58) or with two clamps. For most work, 3/4" stock is suitable, although an occasional job may require one-inch facing.

Fig. 57

Fig. 58

CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD

Fig. 59, illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard. The material which the featherboard is constructed of, should be a straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table, as shown in Fig. 60, and help prevent kickbacks. Clamp the featherboards to the fence and table so that the leading edge of the featherboards will support the workpiece until the cut is completed. An 8" high flat board can be clamped to the rip fence and the featherboard can be clamped to the 8" high board.

Use featherboards for all non “thru-sawing” operations where the guard and splitter assembly cannot be used. Always replace the guard and splitter assembly when the non thru-sawing operation is completed.
