The blade guard assembly provided with

DELTA saws (Fig. 45) must be used for all through-sawing

operations. The splitter prevents the kerf from closing and

binding the blade, causing kickback. The anti-kickback pawls

(A) Fig. 45 prevent the workpiece and the cut-off piece from

being thrown back at the operator. The plastic guard prevents

dust and debris from being thrown at the operator. To use the

guard properly:

1. Make sure that the splitter is aligned with the blade

as described in the section Blade Guard And Splitter

Assembly And Alignment.

2. Replace or sharpen the anti-kickback pawls when they

become dull.

3. Keep the guard clean for visibility and free motion.

4. Do not use solvent or lubricants on the guard. They

may severely damage the plastic.

5. Use caution when feeding workpieces that may catch

on the guard and cause a bind, or force the guard into

the blade (such as when cutting moulding).

MITER GAUGE OPERATION

The miter gauge is equipped with adjustable index stops

at 90°, 75°, 60°, 45° and 30°.

To rotate the miter gauge, loosen handle (G) Fig. 43, push

the thumb lever (H) down and move the body of the miter

gage (I) to the desired angle.

The miter gauge is equipped with a washer on the end of

the bar which fits into the T-Slot groove (J) Fig. 43 in the

table. This allows the miter gauge to be pulled off the front

edge of the table without falling. This allows for a longer

cut-off capacity in front of the blade.

To adjust the stops, loosen screws — two shown at (X)

Fig. 44. Move stop to proper position and re-tighten

screws (X).
