SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The information it contains relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols below are used to help you recognize this information. Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 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.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR THE LASER LASER LIGHT - DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM, APERTURE, or into a reflection from a mirror-like surface. DO NOT USE OPTICAL TOOLS SUCH AS A TELESCOPE OR TRANSIT TO VIEW THE LASER BEAM. Serious eye injury could result. DO NOT OPERATE THE LASER AROUND CHILDREN or allow children to operate the laser. Serious eye injury may result. STORE IDLE LASER OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND OTHER UNTRAINED PERSONS. Lasers are dangerous in the hands ofuntrained users.
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 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION FOREWORD Delta Model 36-422L is a high capacity 12" dual bevel compound miter saw equipped with a laser guide and designed to cut wood and non-ferrous metals. This machine is supplied with design features that increase the cutting capacity. Also, this model includes built in stops for cutting crown molding.
ATTACHING THE DUST BAG 1. 2. Attach the dust spout (A) Fig. 3 to the dust port (B). Depress the spring clips (C) Fig. 3 of dust bag (D) and clip the dust bag (D) over the rib of the dust spout (A). MOVING THE CUTTINGHEAD TO THE UP POSITION Push down on the handle (B) Fig. 4. Pull out the cutting-head lockpin and move the cuttinghead (B) to the up position. C A B B A D Fig. 3 Fig.
FENCE OPERATION DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. The saw is equipped with two fence sections. Both fence sections, one is shown at (A) Fig. 7, are adjustable and should be placed as close to the blade as possible for all bevel or straight cuts to provide adequate support and for an accurate cut. B To adjust, place fence piece (A) into guide groove (B) and move it to the desired location. Insert knob (C) to lock in place. A NOTE: The guide groove of the fence can become clogged with sawdust.
ROTATING THE TABLE FOR MITER CUTTING DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE C B E D Fig. 11 A 1. 2. 3. 4. Fig. 12 L The compound miter saw will cut any angle from a straight 0° cut to 48° right and left. To adjust, place locking knob (A) in the unlocked position as shown in Fig. 11. Then push down on lock lever (B) while turning the table to the desired position. After moving the saw, place knob (A) in the locked position by twisting it clockwise until it stops.
TABLE HAZARD ZONE A A THE AREA INSIDE THE TWO RED LINES (A) FIG. 17 ON THE TABLE IS DESIGNATED AS A HAZARD ZONE. NEVER PLACE YOUR HAND(S) INSIDE THE "TABLE HAZARD ZONE" (WITHIN THE RED LINES) WHILE THE TOOL IS BEING OPERATED. CLAMP ALL WORKPIECES WHICH WOULD CAUSE YOUR HAND(S) TO BE WITHIN SIX INCHES OF THE SAW BLADE. Fig. 17 TILTING THE CUTTINGHEAD FOR BEVEL CUTTING DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. D A C A B Fig. 18 Fig.
ADJUSTING 0°, 33.9°, AND 45° BEVEL POSITIVE STOPS The bevel adjustment utilizes a sliding plate (A) Fig. 20, pin (B), and bushing (C) design feature that can be adjusted to fineadjust the bevel angle. The position of the pin within the bushing is adjustable and, when set, determines the bevel angle. To adjust, loosen the pin locking screws, move to desired location, and tighten securely. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. 2. 3. 4. Position the bevel detent plate so that the desired angle (A) Fig.
PHILLIPS SCREW LASER USE AND ADJUSTMENTS The TwinLaser™ laser units are mounted in a housing that is fitted into the upper blade guard of the miter saw (Fig. A). The lasers project a beam of light downward, along both sides and parallel to the saw blade. This beam of light produces a lineof-cut indicator (a red outline of where the saw blade will cut) on the workpiece. LASER UNIT UPPER BLADE GUARD Fig.
CHECK FOR VERTICAL ALIGNMENT 1. The vertical alignment is set correctly when the lines do not move horizontally (sideways) as the saw head is raised and lowered. If vertical alignment is correct jump to “TO SET LEFT AND RIGHT KERF ADJUSTMENT”. 2. If the vertical alignment needs to be adjusted, begin by backing the left and right kerf adjustment screws one half turn clockwise. Remove the laser unit cover by removing the phillips screw on either side of the cover. (Fig. A). 3.
ADJUSTING SLIDING FIT BETWEEN CUTTINGHEAD ARM AND TRUNNION DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. After a period of time, an adjustment of the sliding fit between the cuttinghead arm (B) Fig. 27, and the trunnion (C) may be necessary. To adjust, tighten or loosen the nut (D). Correct adjustment provides a snug sliding fit between these two parts. This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the sliding movement of the cuttinghead arm (B) or so loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw cut.
MACHINE USE GENERAL CUTTING OPERATIONS Your machine has the following capacities: Baseboards Vertical at 6” (152 mm), Flat at 91/4” (235 mm) Crown Vertical and Flat at 73/4” (197 mm) 45° Bevel Up to 2”x10” (51 mm x 254 mm) lumber 90° Crosscut Max. height is 4”x6” (102 mm x 52 mm) , Max. width is 2”X10” (51 mm x 254 mm) 45° Miter Max. height is 4”x4” (102 mm x 102 mm), Max.
CUTTING LARGE MATERIAL Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit beneath the blade guard. If this occurs, simply place your right thumb on the upper side of the guard and roll the guard up just enough to clear the workpiece. Avoid doing this as much as possible, but if need be, the saw will operate properly and make the bigger cut. NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.
CUTTING CROWN MOULDING VERTICALLY (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.

The following is an example of cutting both inside and outside corners on 52°/38° wall angle crown moulding. 1. Move the table to the 31.62° right miter position and lock the table in position. NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle quickly. 2. Tilt the saw blade to the 33.

MAINTENANCE CHANGING THE BLADE A DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. NEVER DEPRESS THE SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON WHILE THE BLADE IS UNDER POWER OR COASTING. DO NOT CUT FERROUS METAL (CONTAINING IRON OR STEEL) OR MASONRY OR FIBER CEMENT PRODUCT WITH THIS MITER SAW. C To remove the blade: 1. Unplug the saw. 2. Raise the arm to the upper position and raise the lower guard (A) Fig. 36 as far as possible. 3.
KEEP MACHINE CLEAN LUBRICATION Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table and extension table or other work surface weekly. Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while using compressed air.
