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 consid-
erably lessen the possiblity of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, person-
al injury to the operator may result. Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, featherboards, gog-
gles, 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 personal
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.

SAFETY RULES

1.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ INSTRUCTION

MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE TOOL.

Learn the

tool's application and limitations as well as the specific haz-
ards peculiar to it.
2.

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE

and in working order.

3.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

4.

GROUND ALL TOOLS

. If tool is equipped with three-

prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical
receptacle. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-
prong receptacle, the adapter lug must be attached to a
known ground. Never remove the third prong.
5.

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.

Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it “on.”
6.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.

Cluttered areas and

benches invite accidents.
7.

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.
8.

KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY.

All children

and visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.
9.

MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF

protective hair covering to contain long hair.
13.

ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES

. Wear safety glass-

es (must comply with ANSI Z87.1). Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glass-
es. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.

tally contacted.

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 damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced.

Feed work into a blade or

cuttter against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.
