OPERATION

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

READ ENTIRE MANUAL. In addition to reading these operating instructions, it is important to read and understand

the entire manual before operating this saw. Follow all applicable instructions regarding assembly, preparation, and

adjustment prior to making any cuts and comply with all safety rules and warnings in this section and elsewhere

throughout this manual.
1. Each time you use the saw, run through the

following checklist:

• Are the power source and power connections

adequate for the saw?

• Are the saw and work area free of clutter and

by-standers?

•  Is the blade tight and properly aligned?
•  Does the riving knife thickness match the blade?
•  Are the blade and riving knife properly aligned?
•  Is the operator qualified to make the cut and familiar

with all of the relevant safety rules, warnings and

instructions included in this manual?

• Is the operator and everyone in proximity to the saw

wearing appropriate eye, hearing and respiratory

equipment?

• Are the bevel angle and height adjustment knobs

locked in the proper position?

• Is the blade set at the proper height?
• If ripping, is the rip fence parallel to the blade and

securely locked in position?

• If crosscutting, is the miter gauge knob tight?
• If making through cuts with a standard blade, are

the blade guard riving knife and anti-kickback pawls

properly attached and properly functioning with both

guards contacting the table surface?

• Is there proper clearance and support for the

workpiece as it leaves the blade?

• 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 by DELTA® Power Equipment

Corporation may result in injury.

3. Replace or sharpen the anti-kickback fingers

when the points become dull.

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. To properly secure the

saw, see instructions in section entitled Securing

Saw to the Floor on page 15 of this manual.

5. Never use the fence and miter gauge together

without using a cutoff block as previously

described.

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.

8. Never perform freehand cutting, plunge cutting,

re-sawing or cove cutting.

AVOID KICKBACK

A kickback can occur when the workpiece pinches

the blade, or binds between the saw blade and the

rip fence or other fixed object. This can cause the

workpiece to rise from the table and/or be thrown back

toward the operator. See instructions for reducing the

risk of kickback on page 7 of this manual.
IF KICKBACK OCCURS, turn the saw "OFF" and verify

proper alignment of the blade, riving knife and miter

gauge or rip fence, and the proper functioning of the

riving knife, anti-kickback assembly and blade guard

assembly before resuming work.
