GENERAL SAFETY RULES  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.  
1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ THE INSTRUCTION  
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.  
MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE.  
Learning the machine’s application, limitations, and  
specific hazards will greatly minimize the possibility  
of accidents and injury.  
2. WEAR EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION.  
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday  
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED  
SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Eye protection equipment  
should comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards. Hearing  
equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19  
standards.  
3. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose  
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other  
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.  
Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective  
hair covering to contain long hair.  
4. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE IN A DANGEROUS  
ENVIRONMENT. The use of power tools in damp or  
wet locations or in rain can cause shock or  
electrocution. Keep your work area well-lit to  
prevent tripping or placing arms, hands, and fingers  
in danger.  
5. MAINTAIN ALL TOOLS AND MACHINES IN PEAK  
CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and  
safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and  
changing accessories. Poorly maintained tools and  
machines can further damage the tool or machine and/or  
cause injury.  
6. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using the  
machine, check for any damaged parts. Check for  
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,  
breakage of parts, and any other conditions that  
may affect its operation. A guard or any other part  
that is damaged should be properly repaired or  
replaced. 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, and other debris can be thrown at high  
speed, causing 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.  
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  
MEDICATION. A moment of inattention while  
operating power tools may result in injury.  
24.  
USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE  
AND 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.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.  
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.  
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.  
11. HOLD THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the miter  
gauge or fence.  
3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended  
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.  
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.  
13. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND  
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause a hand  
to move into the blade.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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  
G. never sawing a large workpiece that cannot be  
controlled.  
on the table/work area when the machine is running.  
H. never using the fence as  
crosscutting.  
I. never sawing a workpiece with loose knots or other  
flaws.  
a
guide when  
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.  
6. ALWAYS USE GUARDS, SPLITTER, AND ANTI-  
KICKBACK FINGERS whenever possible.  
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.  
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.  
22. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe  
and proper operation of power tools (i.e. a safety  
video) is available from the Power Tool Institute,

POWER CONNECTIONS  
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should  
be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-  
prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the  
machine to the power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the  
same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low  
voltage will damage the machine.  
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.  
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS  
The 36-729 Unisaw has a 240 volt single phase motor rated for three horsepower and 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.  
1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:  
machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the  
plug illustrated in Fig. A. Make sure the machine is  
connected to an outlet having the same configuration as  
the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with  
this machine. If the machine must be re-connected for  
use on a different type of electric circuit, the re-  
connection should be made by qualified service  
personnel; and after re-connection, the machine should  
comply with all local codes and ordinances.  
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.  
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is  
not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.  
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.  
IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE  
RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS  
PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE  
A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

BLADE RAISING HANDWHEEL  
The saw blade is raised and lowered with the front  
handwheel (A) Fig. 30. With the exception of hollow  
ground blades, the blade should be raised 1/8" to 1/4"  
above the top surface of the material being cut. With  
hollow ground blades, the blade should be raised the  
maximum to provide greater clearance. To raise the saw  
blade, loosen lock knob (B) Fig. 30, and turn the  
handwheel (A), clockwise. To lower the saw blade, turn  
handwheel (A) counterclockwise.  
Fig. 29  
B
The saw blade is locked at any height by turning the lock  
knob (B) Fig. 30, clockwise. Due to the wedge action of  
this locking device, only a small amount of force is  
E
required to lock the blade raising mechanism securely.  
Any added force merely puts unnecessary strain on the  
locking device. Limit stops for raising or lowering are

MACHINE USE  
COMMON SAWING OPERATIONS  
Common sawing operations include ripping and crosscutting plus a few other standard operations of a fundamental nature.  
As with all power machines, there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the operation and use of the machine. Using  
the machine with the respect and caution demanded as far as safety precautions are concerned, will considerably lessen the  
possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or completely ignored, personal injury to  
the operator can result. The following information describes the safe and proper method for performing the most common  
sawing operations.  
THE USE OF ATTACHMENTS AND ACCESSORIES NOT RECOMMENDED BY DELTA MAY RESULT IN  
THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE USER OR OTHERS.  
CROSS-CUTTING  
Cross-cutting requires the use of the miter gage to position  
and guide the work. Place the work against the miter gage  
and advance both the gage and work toward the saw  
blade, as shown in Fig. 50. The miter gage may be used in  
either table slot. When bevel cutting (blade tilted), use the  
table groove that does not cause interference of your hand  
or miter gage with the saw blade guard.  
Start the cut slowly and hold the work firmly against the  
miter gage and the table.  
ONE OF THE RULES IN RUNNING A SAW  
IS THAT YOU NEVER HANG ONTO OR  
TOUCH THE PART OF THE WORKPIECE THAT WILL BE  
CUT OFF. Hold the supported piece, not the free piece that  
Fig. 50  
is cut off. The feed in cross-cutting continues until the work  
is cut in two, and the miter gage and work are pulled back  
to the starting point. Before pulling the work back, it is  
good practice to give the work a little sideways shift to  
move the work slightly away from the saw blade. Never  
pick up any short length of free work from the table while  
the saw is running. While blade is running, never touch a  
cut-off piece unless it is at least a foot long.  
For added safety and convenience the miter gage can be  
A
fitted with an auxiliary wood-facing (C), as shown in  
Fig. 51, that should be at least 1 inch higher than the  
maximum depth of cut, and should extend out 12 inches or  
more to one side or the other depending on which miter  
gage slot is being used. This auxiliary wood-facing (C) can  
be fastened to the front of the miter gage by using two  
wood screws (A) through the holes provided in the miter

When using the block (B) Fig. 52, as a cut-  
B
off gage, it is very important that the rear end of the block  
be positioned so the work piece is clear of the block before  
it enters the blade.  
NEVER USE THE FENCE AS A CUT-OFF  
GAGE WHEN CROSS-CUTTING.  
When cross-cutting a number of pieces to the same length,  
a BLOCK OF WOOD (B), can be clamped to the fence and  
used as a cut-off gage as shown in Fig. 52. It is important  
that this block of wood always be positioned in front of the  
saw blade as shown. Once the cut-off length is determined,  
secure the fence and use the miter gage to feed the work  
into the cut. This block of wood allows the cut-off piece to  
move freely along the table surface without binding  
between the fence and the saw blade, thereby lessening the  
possibility of kickback and injury to the operator.  
Fig. 52

RIPPING  
Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a board, (Fig. 53).  
NOTE: Be sure the material to be cut is seasoned, dry and  
flat. 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.  
A
THE SAW BLADE GUARD MUST BE  
USED. ON DELTA SAWS, THE GUARD HAS ANTI-  
KICKBACK FINGERS TO PREVENT KICKBACK AND A  
SPLITTER TO PREVENT THE WOOD KERF FROM  
CLOSING AND BINDING THE BLADE. BE SURE TO  
REPLACE OR SHARPEN THE ANTI-KICKBACK  
DEVICES WHEN THE POINTS BECOME DULL.  
Fig. 53  
A RIP FENCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE  
USED FOR RIPPING OPERATIONS. NEVER PERFORM  
A RIPPING OPERATION FREE-HAND.  
1. 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. When the rip width is 6 inches or  
wider, hold the work with both hands and push it along  
the fence and into the saw blade (Fig. 53). The work  
should then be fed through the saw blade with the right  
hand. Only use the left hand to guide the workpiece.  
Do not feed the workpiece with the left hand. After the  
work is beyond the saw blade and anti-kickback  
fingers, remove hands from the work.  
2. When this is done the work will either stay on the table,  
tilt up slightly and be caught by the end of the rear  
guard, or slide off the table to the floor. Alternately, the  
feed can continue to the end of the table, after which  
the work is lifted and brought along the outside edge of  
the fence. The cut-off stock remains on the table and is  
not touched until the saw blade has stopped, unless it  
is a large piece 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.  
Fig. 54  
3. If the ripped work is less than 6 inches wide, a push  
stick should always be used to complete the feed, as  
shown in Fig. 54. The push stick can easily be made  
from scrap material as explained in the section  
“CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK.”  
4. Ripping narrow pieces can be dangerous if not done  
carefully.  
WHEN THE PIECE IS TOO NARROW FOR  
A PUSH STICK TO BE EFFECTIVE - AND IF THE  
Fig. 55  
WORKPIECE IS SHORT ENOUGH  
-
USE  
A
PUSHBOARD. WHEN RIPPING MATERIAL UNDER 2  
INCHES IN WIDTH, ORDINARY PUSH STICKS MAY  
INTERFERE WITH THE BLADE GUARD.  
When using a pushboard, the width of the pushboard must  
be added to the width of the rip fence position setting.  
A flat pushboard can be constructed as shown in Fig.  
55 and should be used as shown in Fig. 56. NOTE:  
GUARD REMOVED FOR CLARITY. ALWAYS USE  
THE GUARD.  
NOTE: Some special operations (when using the moulding  
cutterhead) require the addition of an auxiliary wood  
facing to the fence, as explained in the section “USING  
AUXILIARY WOOD FACING” and use of a push stick.

USING MOULDING CUTTERHEAD  
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 the operator to  
produce almost any kind of mouldings, such as various  
styles of 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. 61).  
Each of the three knives in a set is fitted into a groove in  
the cutterhead and securely clamped with a screw. The  
knife grooves should be kept free of sawdust which  
would prevent the cutter from seating properly.

1. Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the  
work. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside  
saws and four or five inside cutters, (Fig. 66). Various  
combinations of saws and cutters are used to cut  
grooves from 1/8to 13/16for use in shelving, making  
joints, tenoning, grooving, etc. The cutters are heavily  
swaged and must be arranged so that this heavy portion  
falls in the gullets of the outside saws, as shown in Fig.  
67. The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig. 68, (A)  
being the outside saw, (B) an inside cutter, and (C) a  
paper washer or washers, used as needed to control the  
exact width of groove. A 1/4groove is cut by using the  
two outside saws. The teeth of the saws should be  
positioned so that the raker on one saw is beside the  
cutting teeth on the other saw.

USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON RIP FENCE  
When performing special cutting operations – and that  
operation may cause the cutting implement to contact  
the fence – it is necessary to add a wood facing (A) Fig.  
71, to one side of the rip fence as shown. The wood  
facing is attached to the fence with wood screws  
A
through holes drilled in the fence. 3/4-inch stock is  
suitable for most work, although an occasional job may  
require one-inch facing.  
Fig. 71

For assistance with your machine, visit our website at www.deltamachinery.com for a list of service centers or call  
the DELTA Machinery help line at 1-800-223-7278 (In Canada call 1-800-463-3582).  
CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD  
Fig. 73, illustrates dimensions for making a typical  
featherboard. The material which the featherboard is  
constructed of, should be a straight piece of wood that  
is free of knots and cracks. Featherboards are used to  
keep the work in contact with the fence and table and  
help prevent kickbacks. Clamp the featherboards to the  
fence and table so that the leading edge of the  
featherboards will support the workpiece until the cut is  
completed.  
Use featherboards for all non “thru-  
sawing” operations where the guard and spreader  
assembly must be removed (see Fig. 72). Always replace  
the guard and spreader assembly when the non thru-  
sawing operation is completed.

MAINTENANCE  
LUBRICATION  
KEEP MACHINE CLEAN  
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.  
Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table and  
extension table or other work surface weekly.  
PROTECTING CAST IRON FROM RUST  
To clean and protect cast iron tables from rust, you will  
need the following materials: 1 pushblock from a jointer,  
1 sheet of medium Scotch-Brite™ Blending Hand Pad, 1  
can of WD-40®, 1 can of degreaser, 1 can of TopCote®  
Aerosol. Apply the WD-40 and polish the table surface  
with the Scotch-Brite pad using the pushblock as a  
holddown. Degrease the table, then apply the TopCote®  
accordingly.  
Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while  
using compressed air.  
FAILURE TO START  
Should your machine fail to start, check to make sure the  
prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the  
outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers  
in the line.
