Instruction manual

After a period of time, an adjustment of the sliding fit between

the cuttinghead arm (B) Fig. 27, and the trunnion (C) may be

necessary. To adjust, tighten or loosen the nut (D). Correct

adjustment provides a snug sliding fit between these two

parts. This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the

sliding movement of the cuttinghead arm (B) or so loose that it

affects the accuracy of the saw cut.

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

This machine incorporates a blade guard (A) Fig. 28 to cover the rear

section of the blade. After an extended period of use, the movable

lower blade guard may not operate smoothly when the cuttinghead

is lowered. This can be corrected by adjusting nut (B) until the lower

blade guard moves freely.

Overtightening the nut could impair guard

movement.

NOTE: This unit has been designed with an

articulating rear guard. Before contacting the

workpiece, the rear guard will rotate upward to

expose more of the blade as the cuttinghead is

lowered.

Do not remove any of the blade guards.

Make sure that all guards are in place and

functioning properly before operating the

saw.

Make sure that the fences are clear of the

guard and blade before operating the saw.

AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC BRAKE

Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade brake which stops the saw blade within 5 seconds of trigger

release. This is not adjustable. On occasion, there may be a delay after trigger release to brake engagement. On rare

occasions, the brake may not engage at all and the blade will coast to a stop. If a delay or "skipping" occurs, turn the

saw on and off 4 or 5 times. If the condition persists, have the tool serviced by an authorized Delta Machinery service

center. Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from the kerf. The brake is not a substitute for guards

or for ensuring your own safety by giving the saw your complete attention.

Overtightening can result in preventing

the cutting head from returning to its

maximum raised position, leaving the blade exposed and

possibly resulting in personal injury.
