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. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards, hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR MITER SAWS FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.
POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug.
EXTENSION CORDS MINIMUM GAUGE EXTENSION CORD RECOMMENDED SIZES FOR USE WITH STATIONARY ELECTRIC MACHINES Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE UNTIL YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. 1. Carefully remove the machine from the carton. Retain all packing materials until you have inspected and satisfactorily operated the machine. 2. Place the machine on a firm, level surface with proper support of the workpiece. 3. The 36-412 is shipped with the cuttinghead beveled right to 45° and locked in the down position, and the table rotated 45° left.
A B C E E D Fig. 5 Fig.6 MOVING TABLE TO THE 0° CUT-OFF POSITION 1. Rotate the locking knob (A) Fig. 5 counter-clockwise as far as it will go. Depress the lever (B) and rotate the table (C) to the 0° straight cut-off position, release the lever (B), and tighten the locking knob (A). NOTE: This saw incorporates a new slotted plate design feature (D) Fig. 6 with location adjustment screws (E) for fine-adjusting the cutting angle.
FASTENING MACHINE TO SUPPORTING SURFACE A A Before operating your compound miter saw, firmly mount it to a workbench or other supporting surface. Four holes (A) Fig. 9 are provided for fastening the saw to a supporting surface. When frequently moving the saw from place to place, mount the saw to a 3/4” piece of plywood. The saw can then be easily moved from place to place and the plywood can be clamped to the supporting surface using “C” clamps. Fig.
ROTATING TABLE FOR MITER CUTTING A C D E B B F F G Fig. 14 Fig. 13 1. 2. 3. 4. The compound miter saw will cut any angle from a straight 0° cut to 48° right and left. Turn the locking knob (A) Fig. 13 counterclockwise, depress the lock lever (B), and rotate the table to the desired position. This machine is equipped with positive stops at the 0° cut-off position and at the 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45° left and right positions. The center line (C) Fig.
4. 5. Adjust the miter curser (F) Fig. 17 so that the pointer is aligned with the 0° mark on the scale by loosening the screw (G), adjusting the cursor (F), and tightening the screw (G). Place one end of a framing square (A) Fig. 18 against the front of the right fence base (B) and the other end against the left fence base (C). Using the supplied wrench (D) Fig. 18, loosen the left fence base mounting screws and adjust the left fence base parallel to the right fence base. A D F B G C Fig. 17 Fig.
SELECTING 0°, 33.9°AND 45° BEVEL POSITIVE STOPS C The bevel setting feature utilizes a sliding plate (A) Fig. 24, pin (B), and bushing (C) design that is used to select the bevel angle. The position of the pin (B) and the sliding plate (A) determine the bevel angle. B DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. A 1. Position the bevel detent plate so that the desired angle (A) Fig. 23 is exposed immediately to the left or right of the housing (H) Fig. 23. 2. Lift the front handle (A) Fig.
C D D B C A A Fig. 30 Fig. 29 NOTE: Shown from the rear, Fig. 30 illustrates the sliding plate position and bushing (C) adjustment for 45° left and Fig. 31 illustrates the sliding plate position and bushing (C) adjustment for 45° right. C MAKE SURE THAT THE FENCES ARE CLEAR OF THE GUARD AND BLADE BEFORE OPERATING THE SAW. Fig. 31 ADJUSTING THE BEVEL LOCK The bevel-locking force has been set at the factory. After a period of time, you may need to adjust the locking mechanism.
C B C A D B D Fig. 36 Fig. 35 ADJUSTING LOWER BLADE GUARD The 36-412 incorporates an moveable lower blade guard (C) Fig. 36, and it also has a secondary blade guard (B) to cover the rear section of the blade. After an extended period of use, the moveable lower blade guard (C) Fig. 36 may not operate smoothly when the cuttinghead is lowered. This can be corrected by adjusting nut (D) until the lower blade guard (C) moves freely. OVERTIGHTENING THE NUT COULD IMPAIR GUARD MOVEMENT.
AUXILIARY FENCE SPACER This machine is supplied with new design features that increase cutting capacity. The unit can (1) crosscut 4" x 6" dimensional lumber at 0° miter and 0° bevel, (2) miter left and right 45° 4" x 4" dimensional lumber, and (3) bevel right 45° 2" x 8" dimensional lumber with a user provided spacer (A) Fig. 38. NOTE: The spacer can be made from a 2" x 4" or any other 2" material as shown in Fig. 38. INCORRECT CORRECT FENCE FENCE BLADE BLADE Fig. 40 Fig.
CUTTING CROWN MOULDING (USING BUILT-IN STOPS) Crown moulding stops have been built in to the base to aid in holding the workpiece in position while cutting. This new design feature allows cutting crown moulding in either the flat or nested position and utilizes a stop and screw feature that can be quickly adjusted to accommodate several widths of crown moulding. The position of the stops can be adjusted by two methods. To adjust, turn knob (A) Fig.
A NEW FEATURE FOR THIS TOOL IS CROWN MOULDING STOPS BUILT INTO THE BASE. DELTA DOES NOT CONSIDER THE CROWN MOULDING STOPS TO BE WORK CLAMPS AND THEY ARE NOT TO BE USED IN THIS MANNER. MAKE SURE THAT THE FENCES ARE CLEAR OF THE GUARD AND BLADE BEFORE OPERATING THE SAW. WHEN CUTTING CROWN MOULDING USING THE CROWN MOULDING STOPS, DO NOT BEVEL THE CUT. THE CROWN MOULDING STOP FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO MAKE THE CUT WITH THE CUTTINGHEAD AT 90° AND WITH THE TABLE ROTATED 45°. B D A C Fig. 46A Fig.
5. Place the crown moulding on the table with the WALL EDGE of the crown moulding against the fence and make the cut. Again, the piece of crown moulding used for the outside corner will always be on the right side of the blade, as shown at (C) Fig. 48. The piece of crown moulding used for the inside corner will always be on the left side of the blade, as shown at (D) Fig. 48. 6. Fig. 49 illustrates the two outside corner pieces; (1) being the piece cut at (A) Fig. 47 and (2) being the piece cut at (C) Fig.
CHANGING THE BLADE The 36-412 incorporates a moveable lower blade guard, and it also has a secondary blade guard to cover the rear section of the blade. Make sure there is minimal gap between the two guards when the cuttinghead is in its uppermost position. MAKE SURE THAT THE FENCES ARE CLEAR OF THE GUARD AND BLADE BEFORE USING SAW. OVER-TIGHTENING THE NUT COULD IMPAIR GUARD MOVEMENT. DO NOT REMOVE ANY OF THE BLADE GUARDS.
BRUSH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT BEFORE INSPECTING BRUSHES, DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. Brush life varies, depending on the load on the motor. Check the brushes after the first 50 hours, or after a new set of brushes has been installed. After the first check, examine them about every 10 hours. The brush holders (A) Fig. 54 are located on the motor housing opposite each other. Remove the brush holder cap (A) Fig. 55, and remove the brushes for inspection.
WARRANTY Two Year Limited New Product Warranty Delta will repair or replace, at its expense and at its option, any new Delta machine, machine part, or machine accessory which in normal use has proven to be defective in workmanship or material, provided that the customer returns the product prepaid to a Delta factory service center or authorized service station with proof of purchase of the product within two years and provides Delta with reasonable opportunity to verify the alleged defect by inspection.
