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.
2. WEAR EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. 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.
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.
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.
5. MAINTAIN ALL TOOLS AND MACHINES IN PEAK
CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Poorly maintained tools and
machines can further damage the tool or machine
and/or cause injury.
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.
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.
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.
10. USE THE GUARDS. Check to see that all guards are in
place, secured, and working correctly to reduce the risk
of injury.
11. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES
BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE. Tools, scrap
pieces, and other debris can be thrown at high speed,
causing injury.
12. USE THE RIGHT MACHINE. Don’t force a machine or
an attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed. Damage to the machine and/or injury may
result.
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.
15. SECURE THE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to
hold the workpiece when practical. Loss of control of a
workpiece can cause injury.
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.
17. DON’T FORCE THE WORKPIECE ON THE
MACHINE. Damage to the machine and/or injury may
result.
18. DON’T OVERREACH. Loss of balance can make you
fall into a working machine, causing injury.
19. NEVER STAND ON THE MACHINE. Injury could occur
if the 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.
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.
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.
24. TAKE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST DUST
INHALATION. 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. Also, use
face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Dust
mask protection should comply with MSHA/NIOSH
certified respirator standards. Splinters, air-borne
debris, and dust can cause irritation, injury, and/or
illness.
