GENERAL SAFETY RULES  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.  
1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ THE INSTRUCTION  
an attachment to do a job for which it was not  
designed. Damage to the machine and/or injury may  
result.  
MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE.  
Learning the machine’s application, limitations, and  
specific hazards will greatly minimize the possibility of  
accidents and injury.  
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.  
2. WEAR EYE PROTECTION. ALWAYS USE SAFETY  
GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting  
operation is dusty. 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, and dust mask protection  
should comply with MSHA/NIOSH certified respirator  
standards. Splinters, air-borne debris, and dust can  
cause irritation, injury, and/or illness.  
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.  
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.  
15. SECURE THE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold  
the workpiece when practical. Loss of control of a  
workpiece can cause injury.  
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.  
16. FEED THE WORKPIECE AGAINST THE DIRECTION OF  
THE ROTATION OF THE BLADE, CUTTER, OR ABRASIVE  
SURFACE. Feeding it from the other direction will cause  
the workpiece to be thrown out at high speed.  
17. DON’T FORCE THE WORKPIECE ON THE MACHINE.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
7. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and  
benches invite accidents.  
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.  
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.  
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 MEDICA-  
TION. A moment of inattention while operating power  
tools may result in injury.  
10. USE THE GUARDS. Check to see that all guards are in  
place, secured, and working correctly to prevent injury.  
24. TAKE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST DUST INHALATION.  
The dust generated by certain woods and wood  
products can be injurious to your health. Always  
operate machinery in well-ventilated areas, and provide  
for proper dust removal. Use wood dust collection  
systems whenever possible.  
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

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR  
TABLE SAWS  
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,  
1300 Sumner Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44115-2851  
available from the National Safety Council, 1121 Spring  
Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201. Please refer to the  
American National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1  
Safety Requirements for Woodworking Machines and  
the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213  
Regulations.

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  
Your machine is wired for 120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source,  
make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM  
ELECTRIC SHOCK.  
1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:  
2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use  
on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150  
volts:  
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.  
If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an  
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the  
machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug  
illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like  
the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to connect  
this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown  
in Fig. B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The  
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly  
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.  
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending  
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent  
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever  
the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal  
screw.  
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet,  
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.  
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding  
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The  
conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is  
green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-  
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the  
electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the  
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.  
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not  
permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.  
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if  
the grounding instructions are not completely  
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is  
properly grounded.  
3. 240 VOLT SINGLE PHASE OPERATION:  
The motor supplied with your saw is a dual voltage,  
120/240 volt motor. If it is desired to operate your saw at  
240 volts, single phase, it is necessary to reconnect the  
motor leads in the motor junction box by following the in-  
structions given on the motor nameplate.  
MAKE SURE MOTOR IS DISCONNECTED  
FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE RECONNECTING  
MOTOR LEADS.  
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong  
grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor  
receptacles that accept the machine’s plug, as shown in  
Fig. A.  
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

It is also necessary to replace the 120 volt plug, supplied  
with the motor, with a UL/CSA Listed plug suitable for  
240 volts and the rated current of the saw as illustrated  
in Fig. C. Contact your local Authorized Delta Service  
Center or qualified electrician for proper procedures to  
install the plug. The saw must comply with all local and  
national electrical codes after the 240 volt plug is  
installed.  
CURRENT  
CARRYING  
PRONGS  
The saw with a 240 volt plug should only be connected  
to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug  
illustrated in Fig. C. No adapter is available or should be  
used with the 240 Volt plug.  
GROUNDING BLADE  
IS LONGEST OF THE 3 BLADES  
IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN  
THE  
RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY  
GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A  
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.  
Fig. C  
EXTENSION CORDS  
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire  
extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s  
plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An  
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D-1 or D-2, shows  
the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge  
number, the heavier the cord.

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. 49. 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.  
A
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 a free piece of  
work. Hold the supported piece, not the free piece that  
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. Never touch a  
cut-off piece unless it is at least a foot long.  
Fig. 49  
For added safety and convenience the miter gage can  
be fitted with an auxiliary wood-facing. This auxiliary  
wood-facing can be fastened to the front of the miter  
gage by using two wood screws through the slots (A)  
Fig. 49, provided in the miter gage body and into the  
wood-facing.  
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) Fig. 49A can be clamped to the fence  
and used as a cut-off gage. 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.  
B
WHEN USING THE BLOCK (B) FIG. 49A,  
AS A CUT-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 CONTACTS THE BLADE.  
Fig. 49A

RIPPING  
A
Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a board. The rip  
fence (A) Fig. 50 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. 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.  
B
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. Hold the work with both hands and  
push it along the fence and into the saw blade (Fig. 50).  
The work can then be fed through the saw blade with  
one or two hands. After the work is beyond the saw  
blade and anti-kickback fingers, the hand is removed  
from the work. 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, it is  
recommended that outfeed support (B) Fig. 50, should  
be extended as far out as possible to keep workpiece  
from falling off the saw table.  
Fig. 50  
Fig. 51  
2. If the ripped work is less than 4 inches wide, a push  
stick should always be used to complete the feed, as  
shown in Fig. 51. The push stick can easily be made from  
scrap material as explained in the section  
“CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK.”  
3. Ripping narrow pieces can be dangerous if not done  
carefully. Narrow pieces usually cannot be cut with the  
guard in position. If the workpiece is short enough, use a  
pushboard. When ripping material under 2 inches in  
width, a flat pushboard is a valuable accessory since  
ordinary type 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. 53 and should be used as shown in Fig. 52  
Fig. 52  
NOTE: Some special operations require the addition of  
an auxiliary wood facing to the fence, as explained in the  
section “USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON THE  
RIP FENCE” and use of a push stick.

USING AUXILIARY WOODFACING ON  
RIP FENCE  
A
Wood facings (A) Fig. 53A are necessary on some special  
operations to one or both sides of the rip fence. The wood  
facing is attached to the fence with screws through the  
holes in the fence. Most work will require a 3/4 " stock,  
although an occasional job may require 1" facing.

B
Before dadoing, loosen wing nut (A) Fig. 54 and take  
off the blade guard and splitter assembly (B). Keep  
assembly handy to replace it after dadoing.  
A
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. 54A). 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.  
55. The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig. 56, (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.

CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD  
Fig. 59, 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. 60). Always replace  
the guard and spreader assembly when the non thru-sawing operation is completed.  
Kerf should be  
about 1/4" apart.

made from scrap material by following the pattern shown in Fig. 61.
