GENERAL SAFETY RULES FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. 1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE. Learning the machine’s application, limitations, and specific hazards will greatly minimize the possibility of accidents and injury. 2. WEAR EYE PROTECTION. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TABLE SAWS FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. 1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is assembled and installed according to the instructions. 2. OBTAIN ADVICE FROM YOUR SUPERVISOR, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not familiar with the operation of this machine. 3. 11. HOLD THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the miter gauge or fence. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections. 4. USE THE GUARDS WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
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 3prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug.
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. C. 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.

A pointer is supplied to indicate the distance the fence is positioned away from the saw blade. If an adjustment to the pointer is required, loosen the screw (C) Fig. 43, that fastens the pointer to the fence bracket and adjust the pointer accordingly.
ADJUSTING BLADE PARALLEL TO MITER GAGE SLOTS A The blade was adjusted parallel to the miter gage slots at the factory. In order to insure accurate cuts and help prevent kickback when cutting, this adjustment should be rechecked and if necessary, readjusted as follows: B 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 2. Raise the blade to its highest position and adjust the blade so it is 90 degrees to the table. 3. Select a tooth on the saw blade that is set to the left. Mark this tooth with a pencil or marker.
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.
RIPPING A Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a board. The rip fence (A) Fig. 50 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.
USING AUXILIARY WOODFACING ON RIP FENCE A Wood facings (A) Fig. 53A are necessary on some special operations to one or both sides of the rip fence. The wood facing is attached to the fence with screws through the holes in the fence. Most work will require a 3/4 " stock, although an occasional job may require 1" facing. Fig. 53A ACCESSORY DADO CUTTERHEAD NOTE: THE MAXIMUM WIDTH DADO CUT FOR THIS SAW IS 1/2 INCH. THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY CANNOT BE USED WHEN DADOING. IT MUST BE REMOVED.
2. Attach the dado head set (D) Fig. 57, to the saw arbor. E NOTE: THE OUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGE CAN NOT BE USED WITH THE DADO HEAD SET, TIGHTEN THE ARBOR NUT AGAINST THE DADO HEAD SET BODY. DO NOT LOSE THE OUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGE. IT WILL BE NEEDED WHEN REATTACHING A BLADE TO THE ARBOR. D Fig. 57 THE ACCESSORY DADO HEAD SET TABLE INSERT (E) FIG. 57, MUST BE USED IN PLACE OF THE STANDARD TABLE INSERT.
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 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.
CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK Fig. 61 27 1/2” SQUARES CUT OFF HERE TO PUSH 1/2” WOOD CUT OFF HERE TO PUSH 1/4” WOOD NOTCH TO HELP PREVENT HAND FROM SLIPPING MAKE FROM 1/2” OR 3/4” WOOD OR THICKNESS LESS THAN WIDTH OF MAT’L. TO BE CUT PUSH STICK When ripping work less than 4 inches wide, a push stick should be used to complete the feed and could easily be made from scrap material by following the pattern shown in Fig. 61.
