Operation - Delta 36-6022 Guide D'utilisation

Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
READ ENTIRE MANUAL. In addition to reading these operating instructions, it is important to read and understand
the entire manual before operating this saw. Follow all applicable instructions regarding assembly, preparation, and
adjustment prior to making any cuts and comply with all safety rules and warnings in this section and elsewhere
throughout this manual.
1. Each time you use the saw, run through the
following checklist:
• Are the power source and power connections
adequate for the saw?
• Are the saw and work area free of clutter and
by-standers?
• Is the blade tight and properly aligned?
• Does the riving knife thickness match the blade?
• Are the blade and riving knife properly aligned?
• Is the operator qualified to make the cut and familiar
with all of the relevant safety rules, warnings and
instructions included in this manual?
• Is the operator and everyone in proximity to the saw
wearing appropriate eye, hearing and respiratory
equipment?
• Are the bevel angle and height adjustment knobs
locked in the proper position?
• Is the blade set at the proper height?
• If ripping, is the rip fence parallel to the blade and
securely locked in place?
• If crosscutting, is the miter gauge knob too tight?
• If making through cuts with a standard blade, are
the blade guard riving knife and anti-kickback pawls
properly attached and properly functioning with both
guards contacting the table surface?
• Is there proper clearance and support for the
workpiece as it leaves the blade?
• Are any cutting aids needed? If so, are they in place,
or within reach for proper use?

OPERATION

recommended by DELTA® Power Equipment
Corporation may result in injury.
3. Replace or sharpen the anti-kickback fingers
when the points become dull.
4. Make sure saw is stable and cutting can be
accomplished without tipping the saw.
5. Never use the fence and miter gauge together
without using a cutoff block as previously
described.
6. The proper throat plate must be in place at all
times.
7. If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if it
vibrates excessively, cease operating immediately
until the source has been located and the
problem corrected.
8. Never perform freehand cutting, plunge cutting,
re-sawing or cove-cutting.
AVOID KICKBACK
A kickback can occur when the workpiece pinches the
blade, or binds between the saw blade and the rip fence
or other fixed object. This can cause the workpiece
to rise from the table and/or be thrown back toward
the operator. See instructions for reducing the risk of
kickback in page 7 of this manual.
IF KICKBACK OCCURS, turn the saw "OFF" and verify
proper alignment of the blade, riving knife and miter
gauge or rip fence, and the proper functioning of the
riving knife, anti-kickback assembly and blade guard
before resuming work.
