ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
Always use safety glasses. 1. Everyday eyeglasses are
not safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. All users and bystanders must always
wear certified safety equipment:
• ANSI Z87.1 Eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) Hearing protection
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations. 2.
3. Avoid awkward positions where a sudden slip could
cause a hand to move into a saw blade.
Never reach in back of, or around, the cutting tool 4. with
either hand to hold down the workpiece.
Keep arms, hands and fingers away 5. from the blade to
prevent serious injury.
Use a push stick that is appropriate to the application 6.
to push workpieces through the saw. A push stick is a
wooden or plastic stick, usually homemade, that should
be used whenever the size or shape of the workpiece
would cause you to place your hands within 6" (152 mm)
of the blade.
Use hold-downs, jigs, fixtures or feather boards to 7.
help guide and control the workpiece. Accessories for
use with your tool are available at extra cost from your
local dealer or authorized service center. Instructions for
making a push stick, a narrow rip auxiliary fence, a push
block and feather boards are included in this manual.
Do not perform ripping, crosscutting or any other 8.
operation freehand.
Stability 9. . Make sure the table saw is firmly mounted to a
secure surface before use and does not move.
Never cut metals 10. , cement board or masonry.
Certain man-made materials have special instructions
for cutting on table saws. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations at all times. Damage to the saw and
personal injury may result.
The proper throat plate must be in place at all times 11.
to reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece and possible
injury.
Use the correct saw blade for the intended operation. 12.
The blade must rotate toward the front of the saw. Always
tighten the blade arbor nut securely. Before use, inspect
the blade for cracks or missing teeth. Do not use a
damaged or dull blade.
Never attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first 13.
turning the machine off and disconnecting the saw
from the power source. If a workpiece or cut-off piece
becomes trapped inside the blade guard assembly, turn
saw off and wait for blade to stop before lifting the blade
guard assembly and removing the piece.
Never start the machine 14. with the workpiece against
the blade to reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece
and personal injury.
Never have any part of your body in line with the path 15.
of the saw blade. Personal injury may occur.
Never perform layout, assembly or set-up work 16. on
the table/work area when the machine is running. A
sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the blade.
Severe injury can result.
Clean the table/work area before leaving the machine. 17.
Lock out the switch and disconnect from the power
source to prevent unauthorized use.
Do not leave a long board (or other workpiece) 18.
unsupported so the spring of the board causes
it to shift on the table resulting in loss of control
and possible injury. Provide proper support for the
workpiece, based on its size and the type of operation to
be performed. Hold the work firmly against the fence and
down against the table surface.
If your saw 19. makes an unfamiliar noise or if it vibrates
excessively, cease operating immediately, turn unit off
and disconnect from power source until the problem
has been located and corrected. Contact a DELTA
factory service center, a DELTA authorized service center
or other qualified service personnel if the problem can not
be found.
Use recommended accessories. 20. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of personal injury.
Do not operate this machine 21. until it is completely
assembled and installed according to the instructions.
A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury.
Obtain advice 22. from your supervisor, instructor, or
another qualified person if you are not thoroughly
familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge
is safety.
