Compound Mitering - Delta UNISAW 36-L336 Instruction Manual

MITERING
Miter angles greater than 45˚ may force
the blade guard assembly into the saw blade causing
damage to the blade guard assembly and personal
injury. Before starting the motor, test the operation by
feeding the workpiece into the blade guard assembly.
If the blade guard assembly contacts the blade, place
the workpiece under the blade guard assembly, not
touching the blade, before starting the motor.
Certain workpiece shapes, such as
molding may not lift the blade guard assembly properly.
With the power off, feed the workpiece slowly into the
blade guard area and until the workpiece touches the
blade. If the blade guard assembly contacts the blade,
place the workpiece under the blade guard assembly,
not touching the blade, before starting the motor.
This operation is the same as crosscutting except the
miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 0°. Hold the
workpiece FIRMLY against the miter gauge and feed the
workpiece slowly into the blade (to prevent the workpiece
from moving). See Fig. 62.
MITER GAUGE OPERATION
The miter gauge is equipped with adjustable index stops
at 90°, 75°, 60°, 45° and 30°.
To rotate the miter gauge, loosen handle (G) Fig. 63, push
the thumb lever (H) down and move the body of the miter
gage (I) to the desired angle.
The miter gauge is equipped with a washer on the end of
the bar which fits into the T-Slot groove (J) in the table.
This allows the miter gauge to be pulled off the front edge
of the table without falling. This allows for a longer cut-off
capacity in front of the blade.
To adjust the stops, loosen screws — two shown at (X)
Fig. 63. Move stop to proper position and re-tighten
screws (X).

COMPOUND MITERING

This is a combination of bevel crosscutting and mitering.
Follow the instructions for both bevel crosscutting and
mitering.
NOTE: Always use the miter slot (K) Fig. 64 which allows
the blade to tilt away from the miter gauge and hands.
USING AN ACCESSORY DADO HEAD
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off
and disconnect it from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or when
making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Do not attempt to stack dado blades
thicker than 1" (25.4 mm) Do not use dado blades larger
than 8" (200 mm) in diameter.
The riving knife and blade guard
assemblies cannot be used when dadoing or molding.
It must be removed as described in Riving Knife and
Blade Guard Operations section. Use EXTREME care
when using the dado without the blade guard assembly
and riving knife.
