SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING, AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION
ACTIVITIES contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
•lead from lead-based paints,
•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• 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, always wear NIOSH/OSHA
approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools.

Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal 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 AND HEARING PROTECTION. ALWAYS
USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1
standards. Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI
$3.19 standards.
3. WEAR PROPER APPAREL, Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may
get caught in moving parts. Nonslip protective footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.
4. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE IN A DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT. The use of power tools in damp or wet
locations or in rain can cause shock or electrocution. Keep
your work area well-lit to prevent tripping or placing arms,
hands, and fingers in danger.
5. MAINTAIN ALL TOOLS AND MACHINES IN PEAK
CONDiTiON, Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Poorly maintained tools and machines can further
damage the tool or machine and/or cause injury.
6. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using the machine,
check for any damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or any
other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced with Delta or factory authorized replacement
parts. Damaged parts can cause further damage to the
machine and/or injury.
7. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
inviteaccidents.
8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Your shop is a
potentially dangerous environment. Children and visitors can be
injured.
9. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make
sure that the switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging
in the power cord. In the event of a power failure, move the
switch to the "OFF" position. An accidental start-up can cause
injury. Do not touch the plug's metal prongs when unplugging
or plugging in the cord.
10. USE THE GUARDS. Check to see that all guards are inplace,
secured, and working correctly to prevent injury.
11. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES BEFORE

13. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
accessories and attachments not recommended by Delta
may cause damage to the machine or injury to the user.
14. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heaw enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. See
the Extension Cord Chart for the correct size depending on
the cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
15. SECURE THE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the
workpiece when practical. Loss of control of aworkpiece can
cause injury.
16. FEED THE WORKPIECE AGAINST THE DiRECTiON OF
THE ROTATION OF THE BLADE, CUTTER, OR ABRASIVE
SURFACE. Feeding it from the other direction will cause the
workpiece to be thrown out at high speed.
17. DON'T FORCE THE WORKPIECE ON THE MACHINE.
Damage to the machine and/or injury may result.
18. DON'T OVERREACH. Loss of balance can make you fall into
a working machine, causing injury.

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
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. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low
voltage will damage the machine.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
MOTOR SPECiFiCATiONS
Your machine is wired for 120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source,
make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position.
