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

possi¬

bility

of

personal

injury.

However,

if

normal

safety

precautions

are

overlooked

or

ignored,

personal

injury

to

the

operator

may

result.

Safety

equipment

such

as

guards,

push

sticks,

hold-downs,

featherboards,

goggles,

dust

masks

and

hearing

protection

can

reduce

your

potential

for

injury.

But

even

the

best

guard

won’t

make

up

for

poor

judgment,

carelessness

or

inattention.

Always

use

common

sense

and

exercise

caution

in

the

workshop.

If

a

procedure

feels

dangerous,

don’t

try

it.

Figure

out

an

alternative

procedure

that

feels

safer.

REMEMBER:

Your

personal

safety

is

your

responsibility.

This

machine

was

designed

for

certain

applications

only.

Delta

Machinery

strongly

recommends

that

this

machine

not

be

modified

and/or

used

for

any

application

other

than

that

for

which

it

was

designed.

If

you

have

any

questions

relative

to

a

particular

applica¬

tion,

DO

NOT

use

the

machine

until

you

have

first

contacted

Delta

to

determine

if

it

can

or

should

be

performed

on

the

product.

out

of

the

way

when

cross¬

cutting.

7.

NEVER

perform

A.

Keeping

blade

work

that

is

twisted

or

warped

or

does

not

have

a

straight

edge

to

guide

along

the

fence.

10.

AVOID

awkward

operations

slip

could

cause

your

hand

move

into

the

cutting

tool.

11.

ALWAYS

keep

hands

and

fingers

away

from

the

blade.

12.

ALWAYS

STOP

the

saw

before

removing

scrap

pieces

from

the

layout,

assembly

or

set-up

work

on

the

table

while

the

NEVER

run

the

stock

be¬

tween

the

fence

and

the

should

be

used

to

clean

plastic

parts.

24.

SHOULD

any

part

of

your

circular

saw

be

missing,

damaged,

or

fail

in

any

way,

or

any

electrical

components

fail

to

perform

properly,

shut

off

switch

and

remove

plug

from

power

supply

outlet.

Replace

missing,

damaged

or
