OPERATIONS
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.
THE USE OF ATTACHMENTS AND ACCESSORIES NOT RECOMMENDED BY DELTA MAY RESULT
IN THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS.
When using the block (B) Fig. 16, as a 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.
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. 16. 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

The distance the fence is positioned away from the
blade is indicated by the pointer (C) Fig. 13A. If it is
necessary to adjust the pointer (C), make a test cut with
the fence locked in position. Measure the width of the
finished cut and adjust the pointer (C) by loosening the
two screws (E) and moving the pointer (C) to the same
marking on the scale as the finished cut. Then tighten
the two screws (E).
ADJUSTING SCALE POINTER
ADJUSTING CLAMPING ACTION
OF FENCE LOCKING HANDLE
When the fence locking handle (A) is pushed to the
down position, as shown in Fig. 13, the fence assembly
(B) should be securely clamped to the guide tube (C). If
the fence assembly (B) is not securely clamped to the
guide tube (C) when the handle (A) is pushed down, as
shown in Fig. 13, lift up handle (A) and remove fence
assembly (B). Slightly tighten the two adjusting screws
(D) and (E) Fig. 12, using a 3mm hex wrench not
supplied. Adjusting screws (D) and (E) Fig. 12. should be
tightened an equal amount. Place fence on the guide
tube and recheck to see if the fence assembly (B) Fig.
13, is securely tightened. Adjust further if necessary.
IMPORTANT: AFTER ADJUSTING THE CLAMPING
ACTION OF THE FENCE LOCKING HANDLE, CHECK
TO SEE IF THE FENCE IS PARALLEL TO THE MITER
GAGE SLOT AND ADJUST IF NECESSARY.

CUT-OFF
to feed the work into the cut.
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.
