Operation - Delta 36-6013 Manuel D'utilisation

Failure to comply with the following the warnings may result in serious personal injury.
READ ENTIRE MANUAL. In addition to reading these operating instructions, it is important to read and understand the entire
manual before operating this saw. Follow all applicable instructions regarding assembly, preparation, and adjustment prior to
making any cuts and comply with all safety rules and warnings in this section and elsewhere throughout this manual.
1.
Each time you use the saw, run through the following checklist:
• A re t h e p o w e r s o u rc e a n d p o w e r c o n n e c t i o n s
adequate for the saw?
• Are the saw and work area free of clutter and
by-standers?
• Is the blade tight and properly aligned?
• Does the riving knife thickness match the blade?
• Are the blade and riving knife properly aligned?
• Is the operator qualified to make the cut and
fa m i l i a r w i t h a l l o f t h e re l e va n t s a fe ty r u l e s ,
warnings and instructions included in this manual?
• Is the operator and everyone in proximity to the saw
wearing appropriate eye, hearing and respiratory
equipment?
• Are the bevel angle and height adjustment knobs
locked in the proper position?
• Is the blade set at the proper height?
• If ripping, is the rip fence parallel to the blade and
securely locked in position?
• If crosscutting, is the miter gauge knob tight?
• If making through cuts with a standard blade, are
the blade guard riving knife and anti-kickback pawls
properly attached and properly functioning with
both guards contacting the table surface?
• Is there proper clearance and support for the
workpiece as it leaves the blade?
• Are any cutting aids needed? If so, are they in
place, or within reach for proper use?
2.
The use of attachments and accessories not recommended by
Delta Power Equipment Corporation may result in injury.
3.
Replace or sharpen the anti-kickback fingers when the points
become dull.
4.
Make sure saw is stable and cutting can be accomplished
without tipping the saw. Do not attempt to cut large
workpieces without securing saw to a stable surface.
5.
Never use the fence and miter gauge together without using a
cutoff block as previously described.
6.
The proper throat plate must be in place at all times.
7.
If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if it vibrates
excessively, cease operating immediately until the source has
been located and the problem corrected.
8.
Never perform freehand cutting, plunge cutting, re-sawing or
cove cutting.
KICKBACKS
Kickbacks can cause serious injury. A kickback occurs when a part
of the workpiece binds between the saw blade and the rip fence,
or other fixed object, and rises from the table and is thrown toward
the operator. Kickbacks can be avoided by attention to the following
conditions.
HOW TO REDUCE THE RISK OF KICKBACKS AND PROTECT
YOURSELF FROM POSSIBLE INJURY:
Be certain that the rip fence is parallel to the saw blade.
DO NOT rip by applying the feed force to the section of the workpiece
that will become the cut-off (free) piece. Feed force when ripping
should always be applied between the saw blade and the fence; use a
push stick for narrow work, 6 inches (152 mm) wide or less.
Keep saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-kickback assembly in
place and operating properly. The riving knife must be in alignment
with the saw blade and the anti-kickback assembly must stop a
kickback once it has started. Check their action before ripping by
pushing the wood under the anti-kickback assembly. The teeth must
prevent the wood from being pulled toward the front of the saw.
If any part of assembly is not operational, return to the nearest
authorized service center for repair.
Plastic and composite materials (like hardboard) may be cut on your
saw. However, since these are usually quite hard and slippery, the
anti-kickback pawls may not stop a kickback. Therefore, be especially
attentive to following proper set up and cutting procedures for ripping.

OPERATION

Use saw blade guard, anti-kickback pawls, and riving knife
assembly for every possible operation, including all through-
cut sawing.
Push the workpiece past the saw blade prior to releasing
control.
NEVER rip a workpiece that is twisted or warped, or does not
have a straight edge to guide along the fence.
NEVER saw a large workpiece that cannot be controlled.
NEVER use the fence as a guide or length stop when
crosscutting.
NEVER saw a workpiece with loose knots, flaws, nails or other
foreign objects.
NEVER rip a workpiece shorter than 10 inches (254 mm).
NEVER use a dull blade. A dull blade should be replaced or
re-sharpened.
AVOID KICKBACK
A kickback can occur when the workpiece pinches the blade, or
binds between the saw blade and the rip fence or other fixed
object. This can cause the workpiece to rise from the table
and/or be thrown back toward the operator. See instructions
for reducing the risk of kickback on page 6 of this manual.
IF KICKBACK OCCURS, turn the saw "OFF" and verify
proper alignment of the blade, riving knife and miter gauge or
rip fence, and the proper functioning of the riving knife, anti-
kickback assembly and blade guard assembly before resuming
work.
DUST COLLECTOR
Connect a shop vacuum or dust collection hose to dust port on
back of saw for best dust collection.
