Instruction manual

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. 1, the
machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Fig. 1.
3. 240 VOLT SINGLE PHASE OPERATION:
The motor supplied with your saw is a dual voltage,
120/240 volt motor. If it is desired to operate your saw at
240 volts, single phase, it is necessary to reconnect the
motor leads in the motor junction box by following the
instructions given on the motor nameplate.
MAKE SURE MOTOR IS
DISCONNECTED FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE
RECONNECTING MOTOR LEADS. It is also necessary
to replace the 120 volt plug, supplied with the motor, with
a UL/CSA Listed plug suitable for 240 volts and the rated
current of the saw as illustrated in Fig. 2. Contact your
local Authorized Delta Service Center or qualified
electrician for proper procedures to install the plug. The
saw must comply with all local and national electrical
codes after the 240 volt plug is installed.
The saw with a 240 volt plug should only be connected
to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug
illustrated in Fig. 2. No adapter is available or should be
used with the 240 Volt plug.

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.
POWER CONNECTIONS
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCTIONS.
GROUND 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 accecpt the machine’s plug, as shown in Fig. 1.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN
THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE
RECEPTACLE.
