Compound Miter Cuts; Large Panel Cuts; Non-Through Cuts - Delta 36-725 T2 Instruction Manual

COMPOUND MITER CUTS

This is a combination of bevel crosscutting and mitering. Refer to
Figure 28 and follow the instructions for both bevel crosscutting
and mitering. Remember to use the right miter slot for all bevel
cuts.

LARGE PANEL CUTS

Place workpiece supports at the same height as the saw table
behind saw to support the cut workpiece, and alongside (s) of
saw, as needed. Depending on shape of panel, use rip fence or
miter gauge to control workpiece. If a workpiece is too large to
use either a rip fence or a miter gauge, it is too large for this saw.

NON-THROUGH CUTS

The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves
and rabbets. Non-through cuts can be made using a standard
blade having a diameter of 10 inches or less. Non-through cuts
are the only type of cuts that should be made without the blade
guard assembly installed. Make sure the blade guard assembly is
reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut.
• When making non-through cuts, follow all applicable warnings
and instructions listed below in addition to those listed above
for the relevant through cut.
• When making a non-through cut, blade is covered by
workpiece during most of cut. Be alert to exposed blade at
start and finish of every cut.
• Never feed wood with hands when making any non-through
cuts such as rabbets. Always use miter gauge, push blocks or
push sticks, and featherboards where appropriate.
MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT
• Once all non-through cuts are completed, unplug saw and
reinstall riving knife in raised position. Install anti-kickback
pawls and blade guard.
1.
Unplug saw.
2.
Unlock release lever.
3.
Adjust bevel angle to 0°.
4.
Lock release lever.
5.
Remove blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
6.
Place riving knife in "lowered" position. See RIVING KNIFE
POSITION Section on page 18
7.
Set blade to correct depth for workpiece. See instructions
below for use of other specialized blades.
OPERATION

• Read the appropriate section which describes the type of cut
in addition to this section on non-through. For example, if your
non-through cut is a straight cross cut, read and understand
the section on straight cross cuts before proceeding.
• Once all non-through cuts are completed, unplug saw and
reinstall riving knife or return it to raised position. Install anti-
kickback pawls and blade guard.
• Carefully follow the instructions accompanying any specialized
blades such as molding cutters for proper installation, set up
and operation.
8.
Depending on shape and size of wood, use either rip fence
or miter gauge.
9.
Plug saw into power source and turn saw on.
10.
Let blade build up to full speed before moving workpiece
into blade.
11.
Always use push blocks, push sticks, and/or featherboards
when making non-through cuts to reduce the risk of
serious injury.
12.
When cut is made, turn saw off. Wait for blade to come to
a complete stop before removing workpiece.
13.
When cut is complete re-adjust riving knife to position as
detailed on page 18.
