MACHINE USE

KICKBACK
Kickback is a dangerous condition! It is caused by the workpiece binding against the blade. The result is that the
workpiece can move rapidly in a direction opposite to the feed direction. During kickback, the workpiece could be
thrown back at the operator. It can also drag the operator's hand back into the blade if the operator's hand is at the
rear of the blade. If kickback occurs, turn the saw "OFF" and verify the proper functioning of the splitter, anti-kickback
assembly and blade guard assembly before resuming work.
See Additional Safety Rules for Table Saws and follow all warnings provided regarding kickback.
Common sawing operations include through-cuts (like ripping and cross cutting), non-through-cuts (like dados and
rabbets) 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.
TABLE SAW OPERATION SAFETY
Failure to adhere to these common safety rules can greatly increase the likelihood of injury.
Before using the saw, verify the following each and every time:
1.
A. Always wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory equipment.
B. Blade is tight.
C. Bevel angle and height lock knobs are tight.
d. If ripping, ensure fence lock lever is tight and fence is parallel to the blade.
E. If crosscutting, miter gauge knob is tight.
F. The blade guard /splitter assemblies are properly attached and the anti-kickback teeth are functioning.
g. Always inspect the guard and splitter for proper alignment operation and clearance with saw blade.
H. ALWAYS make sure both guards are in the down position in contact with the table before operating.
2. To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power source before installing and
removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
3. Before connecting the table saw to the power source or operating the saw, always inspect the guard and splitter
for proper operation alignment and clearance with saw blade. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
4. 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.
5. The use of attachments and accessories not recommended by dELTA may result in injury.
6. You must use the saw blade guard and splitter and anti-kickback assemblies for all through cuts. The anti-
kickback fingers aid in preventing kickback. The splitter prevents the wood kerf from closing and binding the
blade. Be sure to replace or sharpen the anti-kickback fingers when the points become dull.
7. Ripping or crosscutting may cause saw to tip over while operating. If you desire to secure the saw to a stable
surface, see instructions in section Securing Saw to a Permanent Location.
8. Never use the fence and miter gauge together. This may cause a kickback condition and injure the operator.
9. The proper throat plate must be in place at all times to reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece and possible injury.
10. 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.
