SAFETY RULES 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 considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR COMPOUND MITER SAWS 1. USE ONLY CROSS-CUTTING SAW BLADES. WHEN USING CARBIDE TIPPED BLADES, MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A NEGATIVE HOOK ANGLE. DO NOT USE BLADES WITH DEEP GULLETS AS THEY CAN DEFLECT AND CONTACT GUARD. 18. NEVER reach around saw blade. 19. MAKE SURE blade is not contacting workpiece before switch is turned on. 20. NEVER lock the switch in the “ON” position. 2. DO NOT OPERATE the miter saw until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. 21.
CONNECTING COMPOUND MITER SAW TO POWER SOURCE Your new Compound Miter Saw is DOUBLE INSULATED to give you added safety. As a result, this saw is equipped with a two-prong plug which permits you to use any conventional 120 Volt electrical outlet without concern for maintaining a ground connection. Before connecting the motor to the power source make sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as the motor - 120 Volts. All line connections should make good contact.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOREWORD Delta Model 36-220 is a 10" Compound Miter Saw designed to cut wood. It can crosscut up to 2-3/4" x 5-1/8", miter at 45° both left and right 2-3/4" x 3-1/2", bevel at 45° left 1-3/4" x 5-1/8", and compound 45° x 45°, 1-3/4" x 3-1/2". It has miter stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, and 45° degrees both left and right, and positive bevel stops at 0° and 45° left.
ASSEMBLING LOWER BLADE GUARD LINK WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE SAW WITHOUT THE BLADE GUARD IN PLACE, AS PERSONAL INJURY OR PRODUCT DAMAGE CAN OCCUR. THE BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY SERVES AS A RETENTION MEANS FOR THE SAW ARBOR. ANY PRODUCT ADJUSTMENTS OR SERVICING, NOT COVERED BY THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL, SHOULD BE UNDERTAKEN ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED DELTA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. Fig. 2 1. Push down on the cuttinghead handle slightly and rotate latch (A) Fig. 2, to the other side. 2.
ASSEMBLING STOCK STOP AND TABLE EXTENSIONS A 1. Decide on which side of the saw table you want the stock stop (A) Fig. 5, to be, and assemble stock stop (A) onto table extension (B), as shown. NOTE: The most commonly used position of the stock stop will be on the right hand table extension, as shown. B Fig. 5 2. Insert ends of table extension (B) Fig. 6, into the four holes on end of saw base and into the two holes of lock bracket (C), as shown. Tighten screw (D) to hold table extension in place.
ASSEMBLING ACCESSORY WORK CLAMP TO SAW A 1. The work clamp (A) Fig. 9, can be used on either the right or left side of the saw base. Insert post of work clamp into the hole located on the front of the saw base, as shown. Work clamp 36-221 is available as a accessory. (See ASSESSORIES section) Fig. 9 2. IMPORTANT: The purpose of the work clamp (A) Fig. 10, is to clamp material against the fence.
OPERATING CONTROLS TABLE HAZARD AREA WARNING: THE AREA INSIDE THE TWO RED LINES (A) FIG. BB, ON THE TABLE IS DESIGNATED AS A HAZARD ZONE. NEVER PLACE YOUR HANDS INSIDE THIS AREA WHILE THE TOOL IS BEING OPERATED. A Fig. BB STARTING AND STOPPING SAW To turn the saw “ON” push in on switch lock key (A) Fig. 13, and depress switch trigger (B). To turn the saw “OFF” release switch trigger (B). Your compound miter saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade brake. As soon as the switch trigger (B) Fig.
ROTATING TABLE FOR MITER CUTTING Your compound miter saw will cut any miter angle from a straight 90 degree cut-off to 47 degrees right and left. Simply loosen lock handle (A) Fig. 14, depress index lever (B) and move the control arm to the desired angle. Then tighten lock handle (A). B The 10" Compound Miter Saw is equipped with positive miter stops for the table control arm at the 0, 15, 22-1/2, 30 and 45 degree right and left positions. Simply loosen lock handle (A) Fig.
LOCKING CUTTING ARM IN THE DOWN POSITION When transporting the saw, the cutting arm should always be locked in the down position. This can be accomplished by lowering the cutting arm (A) Fig. 18, and moving the locking lever (B) to the locked position, as shown. IMPORTANT: NEVER CARRY THE COMPOUND MITER SAW BY THE SWITCH HANDLE, CUTTING ARM OR TABLE CONTROL HANDLE. THIS MAY CAUSE MISALIGNMENT. ALWAYS LIFT THE MACHINE BY THE BASE. Fig.
ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTING 90 AND 45 DEGREE BEVEL STOPS 1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 2. Loosen bevel lock handle and tilt the cutting arm all the way to the right and tighten the bevel lock handle. A 3. Using a square (A) Fig. 21, place one end of the square on the table and the other end against the blade. Check to see if the blade is at 90 degrees to the table, as shown in Fig. 21. Fig. 21 4. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen locknut (B) Fig.
ADJUSTING BLADE PARALLEL TO TABLE SLOT 1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 2. NOTE: This adjustment should be checked with the cutting arm moved all the way to the right (blade 90 degrees to the table). A B 3. Lower the cutting arm. The saw blade (A) Fig. 25, should be parallel to the left edge (B) of the table insert opening. Fig. 25 4. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen two screws (C) Fig.
7. Loosen the two fence locking screws, one of which is shown at (A) Fig. 28, and move the fence (B) all the way to the rear position, as shown. Then tighten the two fence locking screws (A). 8. Using a square, place one end of the square against the blade and the other end against the table and check to see if the fence is 90 degrees to the blade. 9. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the two fence locking screws (A) Fig. 28, and turn the two adjusting screws, one of which is shown at (E) Fig.
ADJUSTING DOWNWARD TRAVEL OF SAW BLADE 1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE. A 2. The downward travel of the saw blade can be limited to prevent the saw blade from contacting any metal surfaces of the machine. This adjustment is made by loosening locknut (A) Fig. 31, and turning adjusting screw (B) in or out. B 3. When making this adjustment, make sure the machine is disconnected from the power source and lower the blade as far as possible.
9. Fig. 34, illustrates the work clamp (B) being used to firmly hold the workpiece against the fence. B Fig. 34 10. Fig. 35, illustrates the cuttinghead tilted and the arm in a miter position for a compound miter/bevel cutting operation. Fig. 35 11. Fig. 36, illustrates the fence in the forward position enabling you to cross-cut a standard 4 x 4 in one pass. Fig. 36 CUTTING CROWN MOULDING One of the many features of your saw is the ease of cutting crown moulding.
A D B C Fig. 37 Fig. 38 1. Move the table to the 31-5/8 degree right miter position and lock the table in position. NOTE: A triangle indicator is provided on the miter scale to find this angle quickly. 2. Tilt the saw blade to the 33-7/8 degree left bevel position and tighten bevel lock handle. NOTE: A triangle indicator is provided on the bevel scale to find this angle quickly. 3.
MAINTENANCE CHANGING THE BLADE A WARNING: USE ONLY CROSS-CUTTING SAW BLADES. WHEN USING CARBIDE TIPPED BLADES, MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A NEGATIVE HOOK ANGLE. DO NOT USE BLADES WITH DEEP GULLETS AS THEY CAN DEFLECT AND CONTACT GUARD. 1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE. Fig. 40 2. Rotate lower blade guard (A) Fig. 40, to the top position as shown. 3. Loosen screw (B) Fig. 41, to free plate (C). 4. Rotate plate (C) Fig. 42, to the up position as shown. 5. Remove arbor screw (D) Fig.
BRUSH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT CAUTION: BEFORE INSPECTING BRUSHES, DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. Brush life varies. It depends on the load on the motor. Check the brushes after the first 50 hours of use for a new machine or after a new set of brushes has been installed. Fig. 44 After the first check, examine them after about 10 hours of use until such time that replacement is necessary. The brush holders (A) Fig. 44, are located on the motor housing opposite each other. Fig.
