SAFETY RULES
Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there
are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will con-
siderably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, per-
sonal injury to the operator may result. Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, featherboards,
goggles, dust masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t make
up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise caution in the workshop.
If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it. Figure out an alternative procedure that feels safer. REMEMBER: Your per-
sonal safety is your responsibility.
This machine was designed for certain applications only. Delta Machinery strongly recommends that this machine not
be modified and/or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you have any questions rela-
tive to a particular application, DO NOT use the machine until you have first contacted Delta to determine if it can or
should be performed on the product.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ INSTRUCTION
MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE TOOL. Learn
the tool’s application and limitations as well as the spe-
cific hazards peculiar to it.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it “ON.”
5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
6. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.
Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well-lighted.
7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All chil-
dren and visitors should be kept a safe distance from
work area.
8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF – with pad-
locks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
9. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and
be safer at the rate for which it was designed.
10. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment
to do a job for which it was not designed.
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get
caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recom-
mended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.
12. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Wear safety glass-
es. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lens-
es; they are not safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty.
13. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work
when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees
both hands to operate tool.
14. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times.
15. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing acces-
sories.
16. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when
changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
accessories and attachments not recommended by
Delta may cause hazards or risk of injury to persons.
18. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in “OFF” position
before plugging in power cord.
19. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is acci-
dentally contacted.
20. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of
the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function – check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is dam-
aged should be properly repaired or replaced.
21. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or
cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cut-
ter only.
22.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
POWER OFF
. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a com-
plete stop.
23. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate
tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
24. MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM
POWER SUPPLY
while motor is being mounted, connect-
ed or reconnected.
25. WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT IN USE the switch should
be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized
use.
26. 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.

SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING, AND
OTHER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES contains chem-
icals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
