The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or BATTERY-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the o-position before connection to power source,
picking up, or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may aect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tools bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations dierent from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES
Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
SEE GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY SECTION OF THIS MANUAL. Read entire instruction manual before operating saw. Learning
the saw’s proper applications, limitations, and specic potential hazards will greatly minimize the possibility of accidents and injury.
Make sure all users are familiar with its warnings and instructions before using saw.
SEE POWER CONNECTION SECTION OF THIS MANUAL for instructions and warnings regarding power cords and connections.
1. GUARDING RELATED WARNINGS
a. Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose,
damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired or replaced.
b. Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-kickback device for every through-cutting operation. For
through-cutting operations where the saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the guard and
other safety devices help reduce the risk of injury.
c. Immediately reattach the guarding system after completing an operation (such as rabbeting or resawing
cuts) which requires removal of the guard, riving knife and/or anti-kickback device. The guard, riving knife,
and anti-kickback device help to reduce the risk of injury.
d. Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is
turned on. Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous condition.
e. Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can
make the riving knife ineective in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
f. For the riving knife and anti-kickback device to work, they must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving
knife and anti-kickback device are ineective when cutting workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the
riving knife and anti-kickback device. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife and
antikickback device.
g. Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade diameter
must match the appropriate riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness of the riving
knife and the cutting width of the saw blade must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife.
2. CUTTING PROCEDURES WARNINGS
a. DANGER: Never place your ngers or hands in the vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of
inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the saw blade and result in serious personal injury.
b. Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or cutter only against the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece
in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being
pulled into the saw blade.
c. Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece when ripping and do not use the rip fence as a length
stop when cross cutting with the mitre gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence and the miter gauge at the
same time increases the likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback.
d. When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a push
stick when the distance between the fence and the saw blade is less than 50mm, and use a push block when this distance
is less than 150mm. "Work helping" devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from the saw blade.
e. Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or constructed in accordance with the instructions.
This push stick provides sucient distance of the hand from the saw blade.
f. Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the saw
blade.
g. Do not perform any operation "freehand". Always use either the rip fence or the mitre gauge to position and guide
the workpiece. "Freehand" means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or miter
gauge. Freehand sawing leads to misalignment, binding and kickback.
h. Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact with the
moving saw blade.
TERMINOLOGY
The following terms will be used throughout the manual and you should become familiar with them.
• Through-cut – Any cut that completely cuts through the
workpiece.
• Non-through cut – Any cut that does not completely cut
through the workpiece.
• Push stick – A wooden or plastic stick, usually homemade,
that is used to push a small workpiece through the saw and
keeps the operator’s hands clear of the blade.
• Kickback – Occurs when the saw blade binds in the cut or
between the blade and the fence and thrusts the workpiece
back toward the operator.
• Re-sawing – Flipping material to make a cut the saw is not
capable of making in one pass.
• Cove cutting – Also known as coving, cove cutting is an
operation where the work is fed at an angle across the
blade. NOTE: This can be a dangerous operation and is not
recommended.
• Freehand – Cutting without the use of a miter gauge or
rip fence or any other means of guiding or holding the
workpiece other than the operator’s hand. NOTE: This can be
a dangerous operation and is not recommended.
• Plunge cutting – Blind cuts in the workpiece made by raising
the blade through the workpiece or lowering the workpiece
down to the blade. NOTE: This can be a dangerous operation
and is not recommended.
• Rabbet Cut – A cut on the end face (edge) of a board for the
purpose of joining two boards. The protruding edge is called
the tongue and the recessed edge is called the groove.
• Kerf – A cut or incision made by a saw.
Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
TABLE SAW SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS DESIGNATED BY THE SYMBOL AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
6 7

TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES
i. Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or sides of the saw table for long and/or wide
workpieces to keep them level. A long and/or wide workpiece has a tendency to pivot on the table’s edge, causing
loss of control, saw blade binding and kickback.
j. Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or twist the workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn the tool o
immediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam. Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the
motor.
k. Do not remove pieces of cut-o material while the saw is running. The material may become trapped between
the fence or inside the saw blade guard and the saw blade pulling your ngers into the saw blade. Turn the saw o and
wait until the saw blade stops before removing material.
l. Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top when ripping workpieces less than 2mm thick. A thin
workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a kickback.
m. Never Cut Metals, Cement Board or Masonry. Certain man-made materials have special instructions for cutting
on table saws. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations at all times to avoid overheating the saw blade tips as well
as melting the plastic. Avoid overheating blade tips by pushing material through blade evenly. Forcing material too fast
can cause overheating and damage to blade or workpiece. If cutting plastics is permitted, cut at a slower pace to avoid
melting the plastic.
3. Kickback causes and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of cut in the workpiece
with respect to the saw blade or when a part of the workpiece binds between the saw blade and the rip fence or other xed
object.
a. Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from the table by the rear portion of the saw blade and
is propelled towards the operator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
b. Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the saw blade as
the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw
blade.
c. Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the
saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your ngers into the saw blade.
d. Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut o against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the
workpiece being cut o against the saw blade will create a binding condition and kickback.
e. Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade
and create kickback.
f. Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making non-through cuts such
as rabbeting, or resawing cuts. A featherboard helps to control the workpiece in the event of a kickback.
g. Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may
cut objects that can cause kickback.
h. Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under
their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all portions of the panel overhanging the table top.
i. Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight
edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and
causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
j. Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more
pieces and cause kickback.
k. When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the
saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback
when the saw is restarted.
l. Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sucient set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked or
broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimize binding, stalling and kickback.
4. Table saw operating procedure warnings
a. Turn o the table saw and disconnect the power cord when removing the table insert, changing the saw
blade or making adjustments to the riving knife, anti-kickback device or saw blade guard, and when the
machine is left unattended. Precautionary measures will avoid accidents.
b. Never leave the table saw running unattended. Turn it o and don’t leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
An unattended running saw is an uncontrolled hazard.
c. Locate the table saw in a well-lit and level area where you can maintain good footing and balance. It should
be installed in an area that provides enough room to easily handle the size of your workpiece. Cramped, dark areas, and
uneven slippery oors invite accidents.
d. Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the saw table and/or the dust collection device.
Accumulated sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite.
e. The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not properly secured may move or tip over.
f. Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a potential jam
can be dangerous.
g. Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Saw blades that
do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run o-center, causing loss of control.
h. Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting means such as anges, saw blade washers, bolts or
nuts. These mounting means were specially designed for your saw, for safe operation and optimum performance.
i. Never stand on the table saw, do not use it as a stepping stool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if
the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
j. Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate in the proper direction. Do not use grinding wheels, wire
brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table saw. Improper saw blade installation or use of accessories not recommended may
cause serious injury.
k. DO NOT REMOVE A WORKPIECE that is damaged or jammed without rst turning o the saw and unplugging it from
the power source. 7

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others. • If tool is loaned to someone, also loan them these instructions.
Dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals
known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• Asbestos dust
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specically designed to lter out
microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Kickback Pawls MUST be removed and riving knife lowered to the
non-through cut position marked on the Riving Knife.
Use all components of the Guarding System (Blade Guard
Assembly, Riving Knife and Anti-Kickback Pawls) for every
operation for which they can be used including all through
cutting. If you elect not to use any of these components for a
particular application, exercise additional caution regarding control
of the workpiece, the use of Push Sticks, the position of your
hands relative to the Blade, the use of safety glasses, the means
to avoid kickback and all other warnings contained in this manual
and on the saw itself. Replace the Guarding Systems as soon
as you return to through cutting operations. KEEP the Guard
Assembly in working order.
SAW BLADE GUARD, ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS AND RIVING KNIFE
ASSEMBLY
Your Table Saw is equipped with a Blade Guard, Anti-Kickback
Pawls and Riving Knife Assembly that covers the Blade and
reduces the possibility of accidental Blade contact.
The Riving Knife is a flat plate that fits into the cut made by
the Saw Blade and effectively fights kickback by lessening the
tendency of the Blade to bind in the cut.
Two Anti-Kickback Pawls are located on the sides of the Riving
Knife that allow the wood to pass through the Blade in the cutting
direction but reduce the possibility of the material being thrown
backwards toward the operator.
The Blade Guard and Anti-Kickback Pawls can ONLY be used
when making through cuts that sever the wood. When making
rabbets and other non-through cuts, the Blade Guard and Anti-
TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES
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. The risk of kickbacks can be minimized by
attention to the following details.
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
(152mm) 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.
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 (254mm).
NEVER use a dull blade. A dull blade should be replaced or
re-sharpened.

POWER CONNECTIONS
POWER SOURCE
This saw is equipped with a 15-amp motor for use with a 120-
volt, 60-HZ alternating current. See instructions below regarding
proper connections for your saw as wired.
For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor’s
rating. A line intended ONLY for lights may not be able to
properly carry the current needed for a power tool motor; wire
that is heavy enough for a short distance may be too light for a
greater distance; and a line that can support one power tool may
not be able to support two or three. A separate electrical circuit
should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less
than #12 wire and recommended to be protected with a 20-amp
circuit breaker or 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. A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of
power and overheat the motor. It may also damage the machine.
Your machine is wired for 120 volts, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the
switch is in the “OFF” position.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
This machine is double insulated. Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the
usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting
insulation. Double insulated tools DO NOT need to be grounded.
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed by a
qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to the nearest authorized service center for repair. ALWAYS
use identical replacement parts when servicing.
DOUBLE INSULATION
The double insulated system is designed to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s internal
insulation. However, it is important to observe normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a POWER SUPPLY THAT IS 120 VOLTS, 60 HZ, AC ONLY
(NORMAL HOUSEHOLD CURRENT in the U.S. and Canada). DO NOT operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage
drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet ONLY one way. If the plug does not fully fit in the outlet reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. DO NOT change the plug in any way.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to
handle the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power.
Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. ONLY round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s
Laboratories (UL) should be used.
NOTE: Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation. ** Ampere rating (on total data label)

POLARIZED PLUGS
EXTENSION CORDS
KEEP the extension cord clear of the work
area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,
tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power
tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury. Check
extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately.
NEVER use tool with a damaged cord, since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious
injury.

Prior to tool assembly and use, read this manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with proper assembly, maintenance and safety
procedures.
Check shipping carton and machine for damage before unpacking. Carefully remove components in top foam layer. Remove the top layer
of foam then remove all components in the bottom layer of foam. Lay out all parts on a piece of cardboard or other clean, at surface. Two
or more people are needed to lift the saw out of the carton. ALWAYS check for and remove protective shipping materials around motors
and moving parts. DO NOT discard shipping carton and packing materials until you have carefully inspected the contents, assembled the
machine and are satised that it operates correctly.
Compare package contents to “Package Contents” section and “Hardware Bag Contents” section prior to assembly to make sure all
items are present. Carefully inspect parts to make sure no damage occurred during shipping. If any parts are missing, damaged or pre-
assembled, DO NOT assemble. Instead, call DELTA®Customer Service at (toll free) 1-800-223-7278.
After assembly remove any protective materials and coatings from all of the parts and the table saw. The protective coatings can be
removed by spraying WD-40®on them and wiping them off with a soft cloth. This may need to be redone several times before all of the
protective coatings are removed completely.
