GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

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 flammable 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 plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified 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 RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RED) protected supply. Use of an RCD 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 influence 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 off-position before connecting to power source and/or BATTERY pack picking up, or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger 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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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 off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the BATTERY pack if detachable, from the power tool 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 affect 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 tool 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 different 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.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY RULES

5) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITRE SAWS

a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
c) The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut "freehand" in any way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.
d) Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator.
e) Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
f) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
i) Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
j) Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.
k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system. Without turning the tool "ON" and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
1) Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.
n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
o) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw.
r) After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
s) Hold the handle, firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down position. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of California 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
• 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 specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.

If tool is loaned to someone, also loan them these instructions.

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 15 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have a 3-prong grounding type plugs. 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.

DANGER:

DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

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.

DOUBLE INSULATION

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.

WARNING:

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.

NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed by an authorized DELTA® agent. For service, we suggest you return the tool to the nearest authorized DELTA® agent for repair. Always use identical replacement parts when servicing.

POWER CONNECTIONS

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

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). 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.

POLARIZED PLUGS

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 plug 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.

EXTENSION CORDS

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. When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with a "WA" on the cord's jacket.

Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

⚠ WARNING: 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.

USING THE LASER GUIDE

Refer to Figure 15.

When the laser guide switch is turned on it projects a red line onto the work surface enabling you to see your cut before you make it. To ensure a true and straight cut:

1. Make sure the saw is unplugged.
2. Draw a line on the workpiece where you plan to cut.
3. Flip the laser switch (A) on the "ON" position.
4. The red line (B) indicates the path of the blade.
5. Align the laser line and the mark with the blade at the uppermost position.
6. Once both lines are in alignment, do not move the workpiece.
7. Plug the saw into the power source.
8. Make several practice cuts on different styles and thickness of material.
9. Repeat the steps above is necessary.

TO REMOVE YOUR MARK:

Position the laser line near the left edge of your mark on the work surface in order to cut the mark.

TO CUT ON YOUR MARK:

Position the laser line near or over your mark on the work surface in order to cut the mark.

TO CUT WITHOUT REMOVING YOUR MARK:

Position the laser line near the right edge of your mark on the work surface in order to leave the mark,

After you have become familiar with using the laser guide, you will be able to remove, cut, or leave your mark on the work surface. Practice will teach you the correct position for aligning the laser line with your mark.

OPERATION

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient enough to inflict serious personal injury.

• Always wear eye protection with side shields and marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious personal injury.
• Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.
• Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt the compound mitre saw to a workbench. Never operate the mitre saw on the floor or in a crouched position. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
• To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the mitre lock handle and bevel lock knob securely before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement of the control arm or mitre table while making a cut.
• To avoid serious personal injury, keep hands outside the no hands zone, at least 3 in. from blade. Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.
• When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure the workpiece, clamp workpiece on one side of the blade only. The workpiece must remain free on one side of the blade to prevent the blade from binding in workpiece. The workpiece binding the blade will cause motor stalling and kickback. This situation could cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury.
• NEVER move the workpiece or make adjustment to any cutting angle while the saw is running and the blade is rotating. Any slip can result in contact with the blade causing serious personal injury.
• When cutting, do not force the blade against the workpiece. Forcing the blade will cause a drop in motor RPM and increase the risk of overheating the saw blade tips.

You may use this tool for the following purposes:

• Bevel cutting and compound cutting for crown moldings, etc.
  • Cross cutting wood
  • Cross cutting for moldings, door casings, picture frames, etc.

NOTE: This saw is for cutting wood. The blade provided is acceptable for wood cutting only.

POWER SWITCH LOCK-OUT

To prevent any unauthorized person from operating this saw, a padlock (not included) should be installed into the Lock Hole located on the power switch, as shown in Figure 16. Be sure padlock is fully closed and locked before leaving this saw unattended.

WARNING:

Always disconnect the power supply before installing or removing a lock onto the power switch. Failure to do so could cause the power switch to engage by accident, resulting in serious injury.

POWER SAFETY TOGGLE

In order to turn the saw motor on, you must first engage the power safety toggle located on the power switch handle as shown in figure 17.

eptable for wood cutting only.

FIGURE 16

FIGURE 17

OPERATION

TO SLIDE CUT

WARNING:

Never make a cut by pulling the saw toward you. The blade can "climb" on

top of the workpiece and come toward you at an accelerated speed. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

See Figure 18.

With the saw off, pull the saw arm forward. Turn the saw on (wait for blade to reach full speed). push the blade down cutting into the workpiece, then back toward the rear of the saw to make a cut. Cuts must be made by pushing the saw blade away from you and toward the back of the saw stopping at the maximum rear position after each cut. While the saw is running, NEVER pull the saw blade toward you or toward the front of the saw. See warning above.

• Raise arm to its full height.
• Place the workpiece flat on the mitre table with one edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge of a board is placed against the fence, the board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade.

- When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support the opposite end of the stock with a stand or with a work table level with the saw table.

- Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the blade or laser line.

- Loosen the slide lock knob.

- Hold the stock firmly with one hand, against the fence. Use the work clamp to secure the workpiece whenever possible.

- With the saw off, perform a dry run of the cut to make sure that no problems will occur when the actual cut is made.

- With the saw off, grasp the saw handle firmly then pull the saw forward until the center of the saw blade is over the front edge of the workpiece or until the saw is fully extended.

- Only use the saw handle (A) to place your hands. DO NOT place your hands on the motor housing.

- Squeeze the switch trigger. Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.

- Slowly lower the blade through the front edge of the workpiece.

- While holding the workpiece push the saw handle away from you and toward the back of the saw.

- Release the switch and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece. After blade stops, remove the workpiece from mitre table.

NOTE: A cross cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece. A straight cross cut is made with the mitre

FIGURE 18

table set at the 0^ position. Mitre cross cuts are made with the mitre table set at some angle other than 0^

BEVEL CUTS

A bevel cut is made across the grain with the blade angled to the workpiece. A straight bevel means the mitre scale indicator is set at 0^ and the bevel scale indicator is set at an angle other than 0^ .

COMPOUND MITRE CUTS

A compound mitre cut is made using a mitre angle and a bevel angle at the same time. Adjustments of mitre and bevel settings are interdependent. Each time you adjust the mitre setting change the effect of the bevel setting. Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting you change the effect of the mitre setting.

OPERATION

TIPS FOR CUTTING AND SUPPORTING WORKPIECES

TIPS FOR CUTTING CROWN MOLDING

• The two edges of the molding that contact the ceiling and the wall are at angles that, when added together, equal exactly 90°. Most crown molding has a top rear angle (the section that fits flat against the ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear angle (the section that fits flat against the wall) of 38°.
• To accurately cut crown molding for a 90° inside or outside corner, lay the molding with its broad back surface flat on the mitre table and against the fence.
• The angles for crown moldings must be very precise. The bevel and mitre angles are interdependent; changing one angle changes the other angle as well.
• Since it is very easy for the work piece to shift, all settings should first be tested on scrap molding. Also most walls do not have angles of exactly 90°; therefore, you will need to fine-tune your settings.
• When cutting crown molding the bevel angle should be set at 33.85^ .
• The mitre angle should be set at 31.62° either right or left, depending on the desired cut for the application. See the chart below for correct angle settings and correct positioning of crown molding on the work table.

Bevel Angle Setting Type of Cut Steps
33.85° Left side, inside corner	1. Top edge of molding against fence2. Mitre table set right 31.62°3. Save left end of cut
33.85°	Right side, inside corner	1. Bottom edge of molding against fence2. Mitre table set left 31.62°3. Save left end of cut
33.85°	Left side, outside corner	1. Bottom edge of molding against fence2. Mitre table set left 31.62°3. Save right end of cut
33.85°	Right side, outside corner	1. Top edge of molding against fence2. Mitre table set right 31.62°3. Save right end of cut

OPERATION

CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL

When attempting to cut warped material, the CONVEX face should be against the fence as shown in Figure 19. Never position a piece of warped material with the CONCAVE face or edge against the fence, as shown in Figure 20. It will pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.

⚠ WARNING: To avoid a kickback and to avoid serious personal injury, never position the concave edge of bowed or warped material against the fence.

OPERATION

SUPPORTING LONG WORKPIECES

In most cases the included table extensions (workpiece supports) will be sufficient to support longer workpieces. If these are not long enough, the workpiece should be supported further out from the saw. Additional support (A) may be used to make the workpiece lay flat on the saw table. Use the included work clamp or a C-clamp (B) to secure the workpiece to the mitre saw table. See Figure 22.

WARNING:

Keep clamps away from the path of the blade and blade guard assembly.
