If you have any questions or concerns relative to the use of your tool or the contents of this manual, stop using the tool and contact Delta Power Equipment Corporation Customer Care at 1-800-223-7278. 4 5The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or BATTERY-operated (cordless) power tool.

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. Unmodied 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.

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 inuence 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 aect 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 dierent 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.

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied 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 specications 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.

5TABLE 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 specic 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 ineective 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 ineective 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 sucient 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.

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 sucient 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. 7PROPOSITION 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

• 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 specically 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. 8 9POWER 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) 12A- 16A Cord Length Wire Size 25' 14 AWG 50' 12 AWG ** Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 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. 9UNPACKING PACKAGE CONTENTS 36-6013 Saw Body Rip Fence 10 inch Carbide Tipped Blade Miter Gauge Blade Guard Assembly Anti-Kickback Pawls Throat Plate Open End Blade Wrench Closed End Blade Wrench Push Stick Stand Part 1 Stand Part 2 Stand Legs (4) PC1 PC1 PC2 PC2 PC3 PC3 PC4 PC4 PC5 PC5 PC6 PC6 PC7 PC7 PC8 PC8 PC9 PC9 PC10 PC13 PC12 PC11 PC10 PC11 PC12 PC13 Prior to tool assembly and use, read this manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with proper assembly, maintenance and safety procedures.

To reduce the risk of injury, ALWAYS make sure the rip fence is parallel to the blade before beginning any operation.

2. Slide fence in or out until the desired cutting dimension is

lock down to engage the lock.

The black tab correspond to the black scale with white numbers.

• The black tabs in the middle of the rail can be used for right rip cut 0 inches to 15 inches.

• To use the black scale with white numbers, insert the fence notches into the black tab on the rail and use clear indicator. See Figure 32. Each corresponding scale should be used to measure the distance between the inside face of the blade to the inside face of the fence. Adjust the width of the table saw by using the table extension. Release the table “lock” by lifting the extension lock handle upwards. The white extension tabs correspond to the white scale with black numbers.

• The white tabs on the right of the rail can be used for right rip cut 10 inches to 25 inches.

• To use the white scale with black numbers, insert the fence notches into the white extension tabs on the rail and use red indicator. See Figure 33. The blue tabs correspond to the black scale with blue numbers.

• The blue tabs on the left of the rail can be used for left rip cut 0 inches to 12 inches.

1. Using a precision measuring tool, measure the distance

from the inside face of the Blade to the edge of the Miter Slot. See Figure 35.

2. Using the correct scale, slide the fence so that the indicator

reads the value that was recorded in Step 1 and lock the Rails in place.

3. If the two values agree, there is no need for adjustment.

If the values are not the same, you will need to re-adjust your front and rear extension tabs.

4. Using supplied 4mm Allen wrench in a counter-clockwise

motion, loosen both front and rear extension tabs. See Figure 36.

5. Move the extension tabs (with the fence attached) so that

the inside face of the fence is ush with the edge of the miter slot (that was measured in Step 1). See Figure 37.

6. Once the Fence is the correct distance from the blade and

ush with the miter slot edge from front to back, you may use the 5/32 inch Allen Key to re-tighten the extension tabs.

7. To check this procedure, with the fence on the extension

tabs, slide the fence to a couple of dierent distances from the blade and check to ensure that the scale readings are accurate. Figure 35 Figure 36 Figure 37

25RIVING KNIFE HEIGHT SETTINGS

See Figure 38. The height of the riving knife should be adjusted based on the type of cut being made. For all through cuts (when the wood is completely severed), it should be in the raised position, with anti- kick pawls and guard installed. For non-through cuts (when the blade does not penetrate the top of the workpiece), the riving knife should be in the lowered position and anti-kick pawls and guard removed. TO RAISE OR LOWER THE RIVING KNIFE:

1. Remove the blade guard, anti-kickback pawls, and throat

plate and raise blade to the full height above the table.

near the base of the riving knife.

by turning clockwise to unlock and release the riving knife from its locked position.

4. Using your hand positioned near the top of the knife, lean

the knife outward away from the two locking pins beside its middle slot. This now frees the knife to slide into the upward/cut through position.

5. Lift the knife upward along the slot until you feel the new

locking pins position.

6. Release the knife and it should snap into its new position;

to the locked position. If you have done this properly the riving knife will be aligned with the blade. If it is not retrace your steps until it does. The appropriate marking will be seen at the table top level. NOTE: When adjusting the riving knife up or down, be sure to pull in a radial motion, as shown.

RIVING KNIFE POSITION AND ALIGNMENT

• 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

may result in injury.

3. Replace or sharpen the anti-kick pawls when the points

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 cuto block as as described in the manual.

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. 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).

DUST COLLECTION Connect a shop vacuum or dust collection hose to dust port on back of saw for best dust collection. Dust port is designed for a 2 1/2 inch vac hose. See Figure 43. FIGURE 44 FIGURE 43

29MAKING CUTS Failure to comply with the following warnings may result in serious personal injury.

• NEVER touch the free end of the workpiece (the cut-o side beyond the front edge of the blade), while the power is on and/or the saw blade is rotating. Blade contact or binding may occur, resulting in a thrown workpiece.

• When sawing a long workpiece or a panel, use a work support, such as a sawhorse, rollers or out-feed table at the same height as the table surface of the saw.

• NEVER try to pull the workpiece back or lift it o the table, turn the switch o, allow the blade to stop, raise the anti- kickback teeth on each side of the riving knife if necessary, and slide the workpiece out.

• Before connecting the table saw to the power source or operating the saw, ALWAYS inspect the blade guard assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance with the saw blade. Check alignment after each change of beveling angle. Cross Cut Mitered Crosscut Rip Cut Beveled Cross Cut Beveled Rip Cut Compound Miter Cut

• A rip fence should ALWAYS be used for ripping operations to prevent loss of control and personal injury. ALWAYS lock the fence to the rail. NEVER perform a ripping operation freehand.

• When making bevel cuts, place the fence on the right side of the blade so that the blade is tilted away from the fence and hands. KEEP hands clear of the blade and use a push stick to feed the workpiece unless the workpiece is large enough to allow you to hold it more than 6 inches (152mm) from the blade.

• Before leaving the saw unattended, lock out power switch, or take other appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized use of the saw.

• NEVER stand in front of the workpiece.

• ALWAYS stand on the same side of the blade as the fence during a rip cut and the miter gauge during a cross cut. 30 31MAKING CUTS Bevel ripping is the same as ripping except the bevel angle

set to an angle other than 0°. When making a bevel rip cut, place the fence on the right side of the blade so that the blade is tilted away from the fence and hands. See Figure 47. FIGURE 47 RIP CUTS

1. Remove miter gauge.

2. Make sure bevel angle is set to 0º.

3. Set blade to correct height for workpiece.

4. Install rip fence and lock it down parallel with and at

desired distance from blade. See page 18.

5. KEEP fingers at least 6 inches from the blade at all

times. When hands and ngers cannot be a safe distance from the blade, select a larger workpiece, or use a push stick and other cutting aids, as needed, to control the workpiece.

6. Make sure the workpiece is clear of the blade (at least 1

inch or 25mm away) before starting the saw.

8. Stand alongside the workpiece on the same side of the

9. Hold the workpiece at on the table and against the fence

. The workpiece MUST have a straight edge against the fence and MUST NOT be warped, twisted or bowed. See proper hand position in Figure 46.

10. Let blade build up to full speed before moving workpiece

11. Both hands can be used while starting the cut as long as

hands remain 6 inches from the blade.

12. KEEP the workpiece against the table and fence and

slowly feed the workpiece rearward all the way through the saw blade. DO NOT overload the motor by forcing the workpiece into the blade.

13. Use the push stick and any other cutting aids, as needed,

to hold the workpiece against the table and fence, and push the workpiece past the blade. A push stick is included with this saw, and instructions are included to make additional push sticks and other cutting aids.

15. Continue pushing the workpiece until it is clear of the

blade. DO NOT overload the motor by forcing the workpiece into the blade.

16. When cut is complete, turn saw OFF. Wait for blade to

come to a complete stop before removing workpiece from table. FIGURE 46 BEVEL RIPPING

• Rip cutting is performed predominantly in a parallel direction with the grain of the wood.

• Make sure blade is parallel to miter gauge slot prior to cutting. Instructions for adjustment on page 27.

• Avoid bevel rip cuts with majority of material on left side of blade.

6. Hands MUST remain at least 6 inches from blade

throughout entire cut. If workpiece is too small to KEEP hands at least 6 inches away from the blade, select a larger workpiece, or attach an auxiliary face to the miter gauge and attach workpiece to auxiliary face. For instructions about making auxiliary faces, see “CUTTING AIDS” section on page 35 of this manual.

7. Make sure the workpiece is clear of the blade - at least 1

inch or 25mm away - before starting the saw.

9. Let blade build up to full speed before moving workpiece

10. Hand closest to blade should be placed on miter gauge lock

knob and hand farthest from blade should hold workpiece rmly against the miter gauge face. DO NOT push or hold onto the free or cut-o side of the workpiece.

11. Slowly feed the workpiece rearward all the way through

the saw blade. DO NOT overload the motor by forcing the workpiece into the blade.

12. When cut is complete, turn saw OFF. Wait for blade to

come to a complete stop before removing cut o piece from table.

• NEVER use the fence as a guide or length stop when crosscutting, unless you are using the fence as described on page 36, Figure 58 of this manual.

• The cut-off piece MUST NEVER be confined in any through-sawing (cutting completely through the workpiece) operation—to prevent pinching blade which may result in a thrown workpiece and possibly injury.

• When using a block as a cut-o gauge, the block MUST be at least 3/4 inch (19mm) thick. It is very important that the rear end of the block be secured in a position where the workpiece is clear of the block before it enters the blade to prevent binding of the workpiece. You can use the miter gauge in either table slot on non-bevel cuts. To increase surface area of miter gauge face, add an auxiliary face. See “CUTTING AIDS” section on page 35 of this manual. To make a crosscut, see Figure 48 and follow this process:

1. Remove rip fence.

2. Make sure bevel angle is set to 0°.

3. Set blade to correct height for workpiece.

4. Place miter gauge in either miter slot.

5. Set miter gauge to 90° and tighten miter gauge lock knob.

Stand alongside the workpiece on the same side of the blade as the miter gauge. FIGURE 48 BEVEL CROSSCUTTING Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting except the bevel angle

is set to an angle other than 0°. When making a bevel crosscut, place the miter gauge in the right miter slot so that the blade is tilted away from the miter gauge and hands. See Figure

MITER CUTS Miter cuts are cross cuts with the miter gauge set at an angle other than 90°. Miter gauge can be adjusted to one of the 8 positive stop angles or as desired to an individual angle increment.

• Miter angles more than 45˚ may force the blade guard assembly into the saw blade causing damage to the blade guard assembly and personal injury. Before starting the motor, test the operation by feeding the workpiece into the blade guard assembly. If the blade guard assembly contacts the blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard assembly but not touching the blade - before starting the motor.

• Certain workpiece shapes, such as molding may not lift the blade guard assembly properly. With the power off, feed the workpiece slowly into the blade guard area and until the workpiece touches the blade. If the blade guard assembly contacts the blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard assembly - but not touching the blade - before starting the motor.

• Cross cutting is performed predominantly in a perpendicular direction with the grain of the wood. The fence can be used to support a block being used as a cut-o gauge, as discussed below.

• Make sure blade is parallel to miter gauge slot prior to cutting. Instructions for adjustment on page 20.

This is a combination of bevel crosscutting and mitering. See Figure 50 and follow the instructions for both bevel crosscutting and mitering. Remember to use the right miter slot on the right side of the blade for all bevel cuts.

Place workpiece supports at table height behind and/or to the side of saw to support workpiece as needed. Depending on shape of panel, use rip fence or miter gauge to control workpiece. If a workpiece is too large to use either a rip fence or a miter gauge, it is too large for this saw. FIGURE 50 NON-THROUGH CUTS The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves and rabbets. Non-through cuts can be made using a standard blade having a diameter of 10 inches or less. Non-through cuts are the ONLY type of cuts that should be made without the blade guard assembly installed. Make sure the blade guard assembly and anti- kickback pawls are reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut.

• In addition to this section, read the appropriate section which describes the type of through cut. For example, if your non- through cut is a straight cross cut, read and understand the section on straight cross cuts before proceeding.

• Once all non-through cuts are completed, unplug saw and return riving knife to through cut position. Install anti-kickback pawls and blade guard.

• Carefully follow the instructions accompanying any specialized blades for proper installation, set up and operation.

• When making non-through cuts, follow all applicable warnings and instructions listed below in addition to those listed above for the relevant through cut.

• When making a non-through cut, blade is covered by workpiece during most of cut. Be alert to exposed blade at start and nish of every cut.

• NEVER feed wood with hands when making any non- through cuts such as rabbets or grooves. ALWAYS use miter gauge, push blocks or push sticks, and featherboards where appropriate.

MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT

5. Remove blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.

6. Place riving knife in “lowered” position. See “RIVING

KNIFE POSITION AND ALIGNMENT” Section on page 26.

8. Depending on shape and size of wood, use either rip fence

9. Plug saw into power source and turn saw on.

10. Let blade build up to full speed before moving workpiece

11. ALWAYS use push blocks, push sticks, and/or

featherboards when making non-through cuts to reduce the risk of serious injury.

12. When cut is made, turn saw o. Wait for blade to come to

a complete stop before removing workpiece.

13. Once all non-through cuts are completed, unplug saw and

return riving knife to through cut position. Install anti- kickback pawls and blade guard. Once all non-through cuts are completed, unplug saw and reinstall riving knife in raised position. Install anti-kickback pawls and blade guard.

• DO NOT attempt compound miter cuts, with blade beveled and miter fence angled, until you are thoroughly familiar with the basic cuts and understand how to avoid kickback. DO NOT allow bystanders to hold or support any portion of the workpiece.

33CUTTING AIDS AND ACCESSORIES

PUSH STICK In order to operate your table saw safely, you MUST use a push stick whenever the size or shape of the workpiece would otherwise cause your hands to be within 6 inches (152mm) of the saw blade or other cutter. A push stick is included with this saw. No special wood is needed to make additional push sticks as long as it is sturdy and long enough with no knots, checks or cracks. A length of approximately 15.7 inches (400mm) is recommended with a notch that ts against the edge of the workpiece to prevent slipping. It’s a good idea to have several push sticks of the same minimum length, 15.7 inches (400mm), with dierent size notches for dierent workpiece thicknesses. The shape can vary to suit your own needs as long as it performs its intended function of keeping your hands away from the blade. Angling the notch so the push stick can be held at a 20 to 30-degree angle from the saw’s table will help you to hold down the workpiece while also moving it through the blade. FIGURE 51 To construct a push stick, refer to the layout see Figure 51. FIGURE 52

USING THE MITER GAUGE

There are two miter gauge grooves. One on either side of the blade. When making a 90º cross cut, use either groove. For beveled cross cuts use the groove on right so that the blade is tilted away from miter gauge and hands.

. Rotate the gauge until desired angle on scale is reached. Re-tighten lock knob

See Figure 52. NOTE: The miter gauge has index points at 90, 75, 60, 45, & 30 degrees both left and right.

An auxiliary miter gauge facing is used to increase the surface area of the miter gauge face. The use of miter gauge with auxiliary facing is the same as original miter gauge (without auxiliary facing). See Page 34 for the use of miter gauge. If desired, you can fit the miter gauge with an auxiliary wood facing that should be at least 1 inch (25mm) higher than the maximum depth of cut, and at least as wide as the miter gauge. This auxiliary wood facing can be fastened to the front of the miter gauge by using (2) M6 or 1/4-20 flat head screws and nuts, placing the nuts into the slots provided in the face of the miter gauge body. See Figure 53. Make sure the screws are long enough to secure the facing. Use the flip down fence when cutting thin stock in which the blade guard would normally interfere with the fence to make the desired cut. To utilize this flip down feature for small, narrow cuts, you MUST slide the flip down part of the fence underneath the blade guard, so that the blade is still covered safely by the blade guard. Please see Figure 54. For thin materials use the fence on the left of the blade. Fold down the thin fence to allow use of blade guard. Subtract 2 inches (50.8mm) from the scale for accurate measurement. FIGURE 53 FIGURE 54 PUSH BLOCK

GROOVING AND RABBETING

Push blocks are blocks used to securely hold down the workpiece against the table. They include some gripping surface or handle to hold the block. Any screws running through the underside of the block to fasten the handle should be recessed in order to avoid contact with the workpiece.

1. Select a piece of wood about 4 inches wide, 6 inches long

and 1 to 2 inches thick (a cuto from a 2 by 4 makes a good blank for a push block).

2. Drill a hole in the block and glue in a dowel to use as

a handle (you can angle the hole to provide a more comfortable grip on the handle).

3. Glue a piece of rough or soft material such as sandpaper

or rubber to the bottom of the block to grip the workpiece (old mouse pads work well). See Figure 55. Clamping a featherboard in front of the blade can increase safety during non-through cuts, like grooving and rabbeting, and through cuts. Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making non-through cuts such as rabbeting. A featherboard helps control the kickback.

CUTTING AIDS AND ACCESSORIES

FEATHERBOARD Featherboards are used to KEEP the workpiece in contact with the fence and table see Figure 57, and help prevent kickback. Featherboards are especially useful when ripping narrow workpieces and for completing non-through cuts. The end is angled with a series of narrow slots to give a friction hold on the workpiece, It is locked in place on the table or fence with a c-clamps.

1. Select a solid piece of lumber approximately 3/4 inch thick,

2 1/2 inches wide and 12 inches long.

2. Mark the center width on one end of stock. Miter width

to 70° (see “MITER CUT” section for information on miter cuts).

3. Set rip fence to allow approximately a 1/4 inch “nger” to

be cut in the stock.

4. Feed stock ONLY to mark previously made at 6 inches.

5. Turn saw o and allow blade to completely stop rotating

before removing stock.

6. Reset rip fence and cut spaced rips into workpiece to

allow approximately 1/4 inch ngers and 1/8 inch spaces between ngers. To avoid binding between the workpiece and the blade, make sure a horizontal feather board presses ONLY on the uncut portion of the workpiece in front of the blade. Dimensions for making a typical featherboard are shown in Figure

56. Make your featherboard from a straight piece of wood that is

free of knots and cracks. Clamp featherboards to the fence and/or table so that the featherboard will hold the workpiece against the fence or table. Clamping a featherboard in front of the blade can increase safety during non-through cuts and through cuts.

When crosscutting a number of pieces to the same length, you can clamp a block of wood

, in Figure 58, to the fence and use it as a cut-o gauge. The block

MUST be at least 3/4 inch (19mm) thick to prevent the cut o piece from binding between the blade and the fence. Once the cut-o length is determined, lock the fence and use the miter gauge to feed the workpiece into the blade. ALWAYS position the cut-o gauge in front of the saw blade. JIGS Jigs may be created with a variety of special set-ups to control particular workpiece shapes for particular cuts. Guidance on how to make specialized jigs can be found in woodworking and carpentry websites and publications. DO NOT attempt to create or use a jig unless you are thoroughly familiar with table saw safety. DO NOT use any jig that could result in pinching a kerf or jamming the workpiece between the jig and the blade. Incorrect setups may cause kickback which could result in serious injury.

36 37MAINTENANCE To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit o and disconnect it from power source before cleaning or servicing, before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting and when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Wear certied safety equipment for eye, hearing and respiratory protection while using compressed air. MAINTENANCE REMINDERS Wear certified safety equipment for eye, hearing and respiratory protection while using compressed air. ALWAYS turn saw o and unplug from power source before making adjustments or performing maintenance. Specific areas which require regular maintenance include: RIVING KNIFE CLAMP PLATE: KEEP this area free of dust and debris buildup. Blow out area regularly with compressed air. NOTE: If the riving knife clamp can’t move freely, have the saw serviced by authorized DELTA

service center personnel. BEVEL GEARS: KEEP the bevel gears free of dust and debris buildup. Blow out area regularly with compressed air. Use a lithium- based multipurpose grease as needed on these gears. CLEAN SAWDUST BUILDUP OUT OF CABINET PERIODICALLY: NOTE: Debris can also be removed from the saw from below the throat plate, inside the dust port. For best performance use a shop vacuum or blower to KEEP saw blade area, the dust collection system, the guarding system and rails free of saw dust and other debris. 37ACCESSORIES TROUBLESHOOTING For assistance with your machine, visit our website at www.DeltaMachinery.com for a list of service centers or call DELTA
