GENERAL SAFETY RULES

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 PROTECTION. ALWAYS USE SAFETY

GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting

operation is dusty. 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, and dust mask protection should

comply with MSHA/NIOSH certified respirator

standards. Splinters, air-borne debris, and dust can

cause irritation, injury, and/or illness.

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 prevent 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. 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.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
