GENERAL SAFETY RULES 2
This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand. This information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use the symbols listed below. Please read the manual and pay attention to these sections. Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
16. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of accessories and attachments not recommended by Delta may cause hazards or risk of injury to persons. 17. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in power cord. In the event of a power failure, move switch to the “OFF” position. 18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted. 19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.
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 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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. 3A/B, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT PLUG SAW INTO OUTLET UNTIL THE TOOL IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. Installing Leveling Pads Figure 7 With basic saw unit (A) turned base up, thread the (4) adjustable leveling pads (B) into the bottom of cabinet. Use locking nuts to secure pad position once saw is upright and leveled. Fig. 7 Blade Tilting and Raising Handwheels Figure 8 Place blade tilting handwheel (A) onto shaft (B).
Installing Drive Belt Figure 11 Lift up on motor (A) and assemble drive belt ( B) to the arbor pulley (C) and the motor pulley (D). The weight of the motor will provide the correct tension. Fig. 11 Attaching Extension Wings to Saw Table Figure 12 This view shows the left extension wing (A) attached. The right extension wing mounting screws (3), locking washers (3), and flat washers are aligned with the three threaded mounting holes (B). Fig.
Attaching Fence Rails and Sliding Extension Table Figure 15 Loosely attach square head screws (4), flat washers (4), and hex nuts (4) to the front edge of saw table and extension wings. Square heads are to be to the front. Fig. 15 Figure 16 Slide front rail (A) over square head screws using channel (B) on back side of rail. Extend right side of front rail 17 3/ 4” past edge of right extension wing, then tighten all screws. Fig. 16 Figure 17 Attach rear rail (A) in same manner as front rail.
Figure 19 Mount sliding extension table (A) into front and rear rail channels (B) using adjustment pads (C). Adjust pads for a smooth but snug fit. Fig. 19 Figure 20 Using a straight edge (A), check the level of the sliding table (B) with the right extension wing (C). Once this is completed, tighten all screws.

Figure 23 If alignment is necessary, loosen the two screws (A), align bracket (B) with the arbor flange and tighten screws (A). Loosely assemble large washer and hexhead screw (C) to the inside splitter bracket (B). Fig. 23 Figure 24 Install the blade guard and splitter assembly (A) between the large washer (B) and the splitter bracket. Tighten hex head screw. Fig.
Installing Blade DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. Figure 27 With the blade guard (A) in the raised position, assemble the saw blade (B) on the saw arbor using the two blade wrenches. Fig. 27 Figure 28 This view shows proper mounting of blade with teeth facing front of machine. NOTE: When installing blade, thread arbor nut counterclockwise onto saw arbor. Fig. 28 Aligning Blade with Splitter DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
Installing Switch DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. Figure 35 Mount switch (A) using hex head screws (2) and square nuts (2). Install screws with square nuts facing up (B). Do not tighten screws. Fig. 35 Figure 36 Slide square nuts (B) into bottom channel of front rail. Fig. 36 Figure 37 Move switch (A) along front rail to a convenient position. Tighten the two screws. Run the switch to motor cord (shortest) (B) up over cabinet top. Make connection with motor cord (C). Fig.
Tool Holders and Rail End Caps Figure 39 Install front and rear end caps (A) on both ends of fence rails using self tapping screws (4). Install fence holders (B) using self tapping pan head screws (4). Install wrench hook (C) using self tapping pan head screws (2). Install miter gage holder (D) using self tapping pan head screws (4). Fig. 39 Dust Port DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. Figure 40 Attach dust port (A) to saw cabinet using pan head screws (4) and hex nuts (4). Fig.
Miter Gage DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. Figure 43 The miter gage (A) is equipped with a T-slot bar (B). Engage bar at end of miter slot (C) and slide miter gage onto saw table. Fig. 43 Cross Cut Fence with Depth Stop DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. Figure 44 Install hex socket screws (2) and M5 nuts (2) thru miter gage body (A). Slide cross cut fence (B) over screws and onto miter gage assembly using channel (C) on side of fence. Tighten screws with fence at desired position.
OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS Starting and Stopping the Saw Raising and Lowering Blade Blade Tilting Adjustment Figure 46 To apply power to the saw, depress the upper (green) button on switch (A). Pressing the lower (red) button turns the power OFF. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. Fig. 46 The blade can be raised or lowered by unlocking knob (B) and turning the handwheel (C). To raise the blade, turn handwheel clockwise. To lower the blade, turn handwheel counterclockwise.
Rip Fence Adjustments DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. Figure 49 Slide fence (A) against one edge of the miter gage slot (B). Lock the fence handle (C). The edge of the fence should be parallel with the edge of the miter gage slot. Fig. 49 Figure 50 If an adjustment is necessary loosen the four hex screws (A). Make the necessary correction, then tighten screws (A). Fig. 50 Figure 51 Once the fence is aligned with the miter gage slot, raise the saw blade (A) to its highest position.
Setting Fence Micro-Adjust Figure 53 Release locking handle (A). Push in micro-adjust knob (B) to engage mechanism, then turn handle right or left for precise settings. Release micro-adjust knob (B) and lock handle (A). Fig. 53 Figure 54 The miter gage is equipped with a T-slot bar (A) that allows it to extend past the front of table. The miter gage body (B) can be turned right or left for angle cross-cutting. Loosen lock knob (C), choose angle, and tighten lock knob.
MAINTENANCE Changing the Saw Blade DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. Use only 10” Diameter Blades with 5/8” Arbor Holes, rated at 3450 RPM or Higher Figure 56 Remove table insert (A) and raise saw blade (B) to its maximum height. Fig. 56 Figure 57 Place the open end wrench on the flats of the saw arbor to keep the arbor from turning. Using the box wrench, turn arbor nut toward the front of the saw. Remove arbor nut, blade flange, and saw blade.
