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. Damaged parts can cause
further damage to the machine and/or injury.
7. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
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.
10. USE THE GUARDS. Check to see that all guards are in
place, secured, and working correctly to reduce the risk of
injury.
11. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES
BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE. Tools, scrap pieces,

injury.
12. USE THE RIGHT MACHINE. Don’t force a machine or an
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
Damage to the machine and/or injury may result.
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 heavy 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 a
workpiece 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.
19. NEVER STAND ON THE MACHINE. Injury could occur if the tool
tips, or if you accidentally contact the cutting tool.
20. NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN THE POWER OFF. Don’t leave the machine until it comes
to a complete stop. A child or visitor could be injured.
21. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, AND DISCONNECT THE
MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE before installing or
removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-
ups, or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
22. MAKE YOUR WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF WITH
PADLOCKS, MASTER SWITCHES, OR BY REMOVING
STARTER KEYS. The accidental start-up of a machine by
a child or visitor could cause injury.
23. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND
USE COMMON SENSE. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE
WHEN YOU ARE TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICAT-ION. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in injury.

DISBURSE DUST OR OTHER AIRBORNE
PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE
SILICA DUST AND ASBESTOS DUST. Direct particles away
from face and body. Always operate tool in well ventilated
area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection
system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including
silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid
breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your
skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use
properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas
with soap and water.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR TABLE SAWS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is assembled
and installed according to the instructions.
2. OBTAIN ADVICE FROM YOUR SUPERVISOR,
instructor, or another qualified person if you are not
familiar with the operation of this machine.
3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended
electrical connections.
4. USE THE GUARDS WHENEVER POSSIBLE. Check to
see that they are in place, secured, and working correctly.
5. KICKBACK IS THE NATURAL TENDENCY OF THE
WORKPIECE TO BE THROWN BACK AT THE
OPERATOR when the workpiece initially contacts the
blade or if the workpiece pinches the blade. Kickback is
dangerous and can result in serious injury.
AVOID KICKBACK by:
A. keeping blade sharp and free of rust and pitch.
B. keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade.
C. using saw blade guard and spreader for every
possible operation, including all through sawing.
D. pushing the workpiece past the saw blade prior to
release.
E. never ripping a workpiece that is twisted or warped,
or does not have a straight edge to guide along the
fence.
F. using featherboards when the anti-kickback device
cannot be used.
G. never sawing a large workpiece that cannot be
controlled.
H. never using the fence as a guide when crosscutting.
I. never sawing a workpiece with loose knots or other
flaws.
6. ALWAYS USE GUARDS, SPLITTER, AND ANTI-
KICKBACK FINGERS whenever possible.
7. REMOVE CUT-OFF PIECES AND SCRAPS from the
table before starting the saw. The vibration of the machine
may cause them to move into the saw blade and be
thrown out. After cutting, turn the machine off. After the
blade has come to a complete stop, remove all debris.
8. NEVER START THE MACHINE with the workpiece
against the blade.
9. NEVER run the workpiece between the fence and a
moulding cutterhead.
10. CUTTING THE WORKPIECE WITHOUT THE USE OF A
FENCE OR MITER GAUGE IS KNOWN AS
“FREEHAND” CUTTING. NEVER perform “free-hand”
operations. Use either the fence or miter gauge to position
and guide the workpiece.
11. HOLD THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the miter
gauge or fence.
12. CUTTING COMPLETELY THROUGH THE WORK-
PIECE IS KNOWN AS “THROUGH-SAWING”. Ripping
and cross-cutting are through-sawing operations. Cutting
with the grain (or down the length of the workpiece) is
ripping. Cutting across the grain (or across the workpiece)
is cross-cutting. Use a fence or fence system for ripping.
DO NOT use a fence or fence system for cross-cutting.
Instead, use a miter gauge. USE PUSH STICK(S) for
ripping a narrow workpiece.
13. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause a hand to
move into the blade.
14. KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the
blade.
15. NEVER have any part of your body in line with the path of
the saw blade.
16. NEVER REACH AROUND or over the saw blade.
17. NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first
turning the machine “OFF”.
18. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE workpieces.
19. NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, assembly or set-up work on
the table/work area when the machine is running.
20. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF” AND DISCONNECT THE
MACHINE from the power source before installing or
removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-
ups, or when making repairs.
21. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, disconnect the machine
from the power source, and clean the table/work area
before leaving the machine. LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE
“OFF” POSITION to prevent unauthorized use.

2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less
than 150 volts:
If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A,the
machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like
the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to connect
this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown
in Fig. B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever
the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal
screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not
permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.
IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THAT
THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A QUALI-
FIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is
green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is
properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor
receptacles that accept the machine’s plug, as shown in
Fig. A.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
POWER CONNECTIONS
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your machine is wired for (see SPEC. PLATE VOLTAGE), 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to
the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM
ELECTRIC SHOCK.

7
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire
extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type
plug and matching receptacle which will accept the
machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the
machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig.
D-1 shows the correct gauge to use depending on the
cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Operating any power tool involves a certain amount of risk. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably
lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if you overlook or ignore normal safety precautions, personal injury can result.
The following information describes the safe and proper method of performing the most common sawing operations.
The use of attachments and accessories not recommended by Delta may result in the risk of injury.
CROSS-CUTTING
Cross-cutting requires the use of the miter gauge to position
and guide the work. Place the work against the miter gauge and
advance both the gauge and the work toward the saw blade
(Fig. 45). You can use the miter gauge in either table slot. When
you bevel cut (blade tilted), use the right miter gauge slot so that
the blade tilts away from the miter gauge and your hands.
Start the cut slowly and hold the work firmly against the miter
gauge. DO NOT HOLD or touch the free piece. Hold the
supported piece. Continue the feed in cross-cutting until the
work is completely cut, then pull the miter gauge and workpiece
back to the starting point. Before pulling the workpiece back,
move the workpiece slightly away from the saw blade. Never
pick up any short length of free work from the table while the
saw blade is turning.
For added safety and convenience, fit the miter gauge with an auxiliary wood facing that is at least 1" higher than the maximum
depth of cut, and extend it out 12" or more to one side or the other depending on the miter gauge slot used. This auxiliary
wood facing can be fastened to the front of the miter gauge by using two screws through the holes provided in the front of the
miter gauge body and into the wood facing.
Never use the fence as a cut-off gauge when cross-cutting.
Fig. 45

19
RIPPING
Ripping is the operation of making a lengthwise cut through
a board (Fig. 46), and the rip fence (A) is used to position
and guide the work. One edge of the work rides against the
rip fence while the flat side of the board rests on the table.
Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a
straight edge and make solid contact with the table. Use the
guard. The guard has anti-kickback fingers to prevent wood
kickback, and a splitter to prevent the wood kerf from
closing and binding the blade.
Start the motor and advance the work, holding it down and
against the fence.
Never stand in the line of the saw cut when
ripping.
Hold the work with both hands and push it along the fence
and into the saw blade (Fig. 46). You can then feed the
workpiece through the saw blade with one or two hands.
After the workpiece is beyond the saw blade and anti-
kickback fingers, remove your hand from the workpiece.The
workpiece will either stay on the table, tilt up slightly and be
caught by the rear end of the guard, or slide off the table to
the floor. Continue the feed to the end of the table, then lift
the workpiece and bring it back along the outside edge of
the fence. Leave the cut-off stock on the table and do not
touch it until the blade stops, unless the workpiece is large,
allowing safe removal. When ripping boards longer than
three feet, use a work support at the rear of the saw to keep
the workpiece from falling off the saw table.
If the ripped work is less than 4 inches
wide, always use a push stick to
complete the feed (Fig. 47). You can
easily make a push stick from scrap
material as explained in the section
“CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK.”
When ripping material under 2" wide, use a flat pushboard ,
since ordinary type sticks may interfere with the blade
guard. That flat pushboard can be made using the
dimensions shown in Fig. 48.
Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the work.
Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead is a fast,
safe, and clean operation. The many different knife shapes
available make it possible for you to produce almost any
kind of mouldings, such as corner moulds, picture frames,
table edges, etc.
The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can
be mounted various shapes of steel knives (Fig. 49). Each
of the three knives in a set is fitted into a groove in the
cutterhead and securely clamped with a screw. Keep the
knife grooves free of sawdust to allow the cutter to seat
properly.

For certain cutting operations such as dadoing and moulding where you are not cutting completely
through the workpiece, DO NOT USE the blade guard and splitter assembly.
Always return and fasten the blade guard and splitter assembly to its proper operating position for
normal through-sawing operations.
DO NOT USE the outside arbor flange with the moulding cutterhead. Tighten the arbor nut against the
cutterhead body. Keep the arbor flange handy because you will need it when you re-attach a blade to
the saw arbor.
DO NOT USE the standard table insert with the moulding cutterhead. USE ONLY the accessory
moulding cutterhead table insert (B) Fig. 50.
When using the moulding cutterhead, add wood-facing (C) to the face of the rip fence (Fig. 51). Attach the
wood-facing to the fence with wood screws through the holes provided in the fence. Stock that is 3/4" is suitable for most
work, although an occasional job may require 1" facing.
Position the wood-facing over the cutterhead with the cutterhead below the surface of the table. Turn the saw
“ON” and raise the cutterhead. The cutterhead will cut its own groove in the wood-facing (E) Fig. 51.
Never us the moulding cutterhead in a bevel position.
Never run the workpiece between the fence and the moulding cutterhead. Irregular shaped wood will
cause feedback.
When moulding the end grain, use the miter gauge. Slow the feed at the end of the cut to prevent splintering.
In all cuts, pay attention to the grain. Make your the cut in the same direction as the grain ,whenever possible.
Always install the blade guard after the operation is complete.
For certain cutting operations such as dadoing and moulding where you are not cutting
completely through the workpiece, DO NOT USE the blade guard and splitter assembly.
Always return and fasten the blade guard and splitter assembly to its proper operating position for
normal thru-sawing operations.
The maximum diameter for a dado head is 6" (152.4mm).
