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 considerably lessen the possi-
bility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal 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 com
-
mon 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 personal safety is your responsibility.

tion, 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 specific 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 children and
visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.
8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF – with padlocks, 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, neck-
ties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in moving
parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
12.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Wear safety glasses.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they
are not safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. These safety glasses must conform to ANSI
Z87.1 requirements. Note: Approved glasses have Z87 printed
or stamped on them.
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 balance 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 accessories.
16. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of acces-
sories 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 accidentally 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 func-
tion – 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 damaged
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 cutter only.
22. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete 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, connected or re-
connected.
25. THE DUST GENERATED by certain woods and wood prod-
ucts 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.

WARNING: SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER
SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING, AND OTHER
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
