MACHINE USE

Common sawing operations include ripping and cross cutting plus a few other standard operations. As with all power machines, a
certain amount of hazard is involved with the operation and use of the machine. Using the machine with the respect and caution
will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or completely
ignored, personal injury can result. The following information describes the safe and proper method for performing the most
common sawing operations.
This instruction manual does not provide information regarding the installation of a fence system. A
fence system must be installed before use of the saw. Please refer to the fence instruction manual regarding the proper
installation, alignment, and operation of the fence system.
The use of attachments and accessories not recommended be Delta may result in injury.
Never operate the saw without the proper table insert for the saw blade or cutter installed.
QUICK OPERATIONS CHECKLIST
Before using the saw each and every time, verify the following:
1. Blade is tight.
2. Bevel angle and height lock knobs are tight.
3. If ripping, ensure fence lock lever is tight and fence is parallel to the blade.
4. If crosscutting, miter gauge knob is tight.
5. Proper eye, hearing and respiratory equipment is being used.
6. The blade guard is properly attached and the anti-kickback pawls are functioning.
Failure to adhere to these common safety rules can greatly increase the likelihood of injury.
