GENERAL SAFETY RULES
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS EQUIPMENT. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,
fire, and/or serious personal injury or property damage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ THE INSTRUCTION
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.
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.
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.
15. SECURE THE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold
the workpiece when practical. Loss of control of a
workpiece can cause injury.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 MEDICAT-
ION. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in injury.
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.
24. TAKE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST DUST INHALATION.
The dust generated by certain woods and wood
products can be injurious to your health. Always

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TABLE SAWS
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL 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 is ripping. Cutting
across the grain 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
on the table/work area when the machine is running.
G. never sawing a large workpiece that cannot be
controlled.
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.
H. never using the fence as
crosscutting.
a
guide when
I. never sawing a workpiece with loose knots or other
flaws.
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.
6. ALWAYS USE GUARDS, SPLITTER, AND ANTI-
KICKBACK FINGERS whenever possible.
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 (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.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your machine is wired for 120/240 volts, 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.
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.

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.
Fig. C
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.
IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN
THE
RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
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.

MACHINE USE
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.
THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL DOES NOT PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING THE
INSTALLATION OF A FENCE SYSTEM. PLEASE REFER TO THE FENCE INSTRUCTION MANUAL REGARDING
THE PROPER INSTALLATION, ALIGNMENT AND OPERATION OF THE FENCE SYSTEM. SEE THE SECTION
“ACCESSORIES” FOR AVAILABLE FENCE SYSTEMS.
THE USE OF ATTACHMENTS AND ACCESSORIES NOT RECOMMENDED BY DELTA MAY RESULT
IN THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS.
CROSS-CUTTING
Cross-cutting requires the use of the miter gage to posi-
tion 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. 54. The miter gage may be
used in either table slot. When bevel cutting (blade tilted),
use the right miter gage slot so that the blade tilts away
from the miter gage and your hands.
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
Fig. 54
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 cutoff piece
unless it is at least a foot long.
For added safety and convenience the miter gage can be
fitted with an auxiliary wood-facing (C), as shown in Fig.
54A, 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
A
miter gage slot is being used. This auxiliary wood-facing
C
(C) can be fastened to the front of the miter gage by using
two wood screws (A) through the holes provided in the
miter gage body and into the wood-facing.
Fig. 54A
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. 54B. 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.
B
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.
When using the block (B) Fig. 54B, as a
Fig. 54B
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 enters the blade.

RIPPING
Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a board, (Fig. 55).
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. 55
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. 55). 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. 55A
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. 55A. The push stick can easily be
made from scrap material as explained in the section
“CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK.”
Fig. 56
4. 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.
56 and should be used as shown in Fig. 57.
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.

ACCESSORY MOULDING CUTTERHEAD
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. 58).
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.

3/4″ inch thick is suitable for most work, although an
occasional job may require 1 inch facing.

3. Position the wood-facing over the cutterhead with the
cutterhead below the surface of the table. Turn the saw
on and raise the cutterhead. The cutterhead will cut its
own groove in the wood-facing. Fig. 61 shows a typical
moulding operation.

NEVER USE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD
IN A BEVEL POSITION.
NEVER RUN THE STOCK BETWEEN THE
FENCE AND THE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD.
IRREGULAR SHAPED WOOD WILL CAUSE
KICKBACK.

USING ACCESSORY DADO HEAD
THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER
ASSEMBLY CANNOT BE USED WHEN DADOING OR
MOULDING. IT MUST BE REMOVED OR SWUNG TO
THE REAR OF THE SAW AS DESCRIBED IN “USING
ACCESSORY MOULDING CUTTERHEAD” SECTION.
AUXILIARY JIGS, FIXTURES, PUSH
STICKS AND FEATHER BOARDS SHOULD BE USED.
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. 61). Various
combinations of saws and cutters are used to cut
grooves from 1/8″ to 13/16″ for 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.
62. The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig. 63 (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 1/4″ groove 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.

2. Attach the dado head set (D) Fig. 64, to the saw arbor.
NOTE: THE OUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGE CAN NOT BE

ARBOR NUT AGAINST THE DADO HEAD SET BODY.
DO NOT LOSE THE OUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGE. IT
WILL BE NEEDED WHEN REATTACHING A BLADE TO
THE ARBOR.

USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING
ON RIP FENCE
It is necessary when performing special operations such
as when using the moulding cutterhead to add wood
facing (A) Fig. 66, to one or both sides of the rip fence.
Depending on the fence, the wood facing is attached to
the fence either with wood screws through holes drilled
in the fence (as shown in Fig. 66) or with two clamps. For
most work, 3/4" stock is suitable, although an
occasional job may require one-inch facing.
A
Fig. 66
CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD
Fig. 67, 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, as shown in Fig. 68, 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. An 8" high
flat board can be clamped to the rip fence and the featherboard can be clamped to the 8" high board.
Use featherboards for all non “thru-sawing” operations where the guard and splitter assembly cannot be
used. Always replace the guard and splitter assembly when the non thru-sawing operation is completed.
Fig. 67

of table saws is available in the Delta “Getting the

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.
