will greatly minimize the possibility of accidents and

injury.

2. Wear eye and hearing protection and always use

safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are not safety

glasses.Usecertiedsafetyequipment.Eyeprotection

3. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing,

gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry

which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip

protective 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 ngers in danger.

5. Do not operate electric tools near flammable

liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres.

Motors and switches in these tools may spark and

ignite fumes.

6. 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.

7. 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 with DELTA®

or factory authorized replacement parts. Damaged

parts can cause further damage to the machine and/or

injury.

8. Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas and

benches invite accidents.

9. Keep children and visitors away. Yourshopisa

potentially dangerous environment. Children and

visitors can be injured.

10. 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. Do not touch the plug’s metal prongs

when unplugging or plugging in the cord.

11. Use the guards. Check to see that all safety devices

are in place, secured, and working correctly to prevent

injury.

12. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before

starting the machine. Tools, scrap pieces, and other

debris can be thrown at high speed, causing injury.

13. 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.

14. Use recommended accessories. The use of

accessories and attachments not recommended by

DELTA® may cause damage to the machine or injury

to the user.

15. 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.

16. Secure the workpiece. Useclampsoravisetohold

the workpiece when practical. Loss of control of a

workpiece can cause injury.

1 7.  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.

18. Don’t force the workpiece on the machine. Damage

to the machine and/or injury may result.

19. Don’t overreach. Loss of balance can make you fall

into a working machine, causing injury.

20. Never stand on the machine. Injury could occur if the

tool tips, or if you accidentally contact the cutting tool.

the power off. Don’t leave the machine until it comes to

a complete stop. A child or visitor could be injured.

22. Turn the machine “OFF”, and disconnect the

machine from the power source before installing or

removing accessories, changing cutters, adjusting

or changing set-ups. When making repairs, be

sure to lock the start switch in the “OFF” position. An

accidentalstart-upcancauseinjury.

23. 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.

24. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use

common sense. Do not use the machine when you

aretiredor under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or

medication. A moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in injury.

disperse dust or other airborne particles, including

wood dust, crystalline silica dust and asbestos

dust. Direct particles away from face and body.

Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide

for properdust removal.  Use dust collection system

whereverpossible. Exposuretothedust may cause

serious and permanent respiratory or other injury,

includingsilicosis(aseriouslungdisease),cancer,and

death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged

contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth
