Overload Protection; Making Cuts - Delta 36-725 T2 Instruction Manual

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

Your saw is supplied with overload protection. If the motor shuts
off or fails to start due o overloading (cutting stock too fast,
using a dull blade, using the saw beyond its capacity, etc.) or low
voltage, let the motor cool three to five minutes. Then depress
the red reset button (B), on the motor under the saw, shown in
Figure 23, and restart the saw.

MAKING CUTS

Failure to comply with the following the
warnings may result in serious personal injury.
• Never touch the free end of the workpiece or a free piece
that is cut off, while the power is on and/or the saw blade is
rotating. Blade contact or binding may occur, resulting in a
thrown workpiece
• When sawing a long workpiece or a panel, use a work
support, such as a sawhorse, rollers or outfeed table at the
same height as the table surface of the saw.
• Never try to pull the workpiece back with the blade turning. If
you need to pull the workpiece back or lift it off the table, turn
the switch off, allow the blade to stop, raise the anti-kickback
teeth on each side of the riving knife if necessary, and slide
the workpiece out.
• Always make sure the blade guard (A) and anti-kickback pawls
(B) are in place and working properly when making these cuts
to avoid possible injury.
• Do not use blades rated less than the speed of this tool.
Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.
• To avoid kickback, make sure one side of the workpiece is
securely against the rip fence during any rip cut, and hold the
workpiece firmly against the miter gauge during any miter cut.

OPERATION
NOTICE: If the motor continually shuts off due to over-
loading, contact a qualified electrician.
• Before connecting the table saw to the power source or
operating the saw, always inspect the blade guard assembly
and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance with saw
blade. Check alignment after each change of beveling angle.
• A rip fence should ALWAYS be used for ripping operations
to prevent loss of control and personal injury. Always lock
the fence to the rail. NEVER perform a ripping operation
freehand.
• When making bevel cuts, place the fence on the right side of
the blade so that the blade is tilted away from the fence and
hands. Keep hands clear of the blade and use a push stick to
feed the workpiece unless the workpiece is large enough to
allow you to hold it more than 6inches (152 mm) from the
blade.
• Before leaving the saw unattended, lock out power switch, or
take other appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized use
of the saw.
• Do not attempt compound miter cuts, with blade beveled and
miter fence angled, until you are thoroughly familiar with the
basic cuts and understand how to avoid kickback.
• Avoid bevel rip cuts with majority of material on left side of
blade.
