Assembling Blade And Blade Guard - Delta RS830 Instruction Manual

ASSEMBLING BLADE AND
BLADE GUARD
NOTE: USE ONLY 10" BLADES WITH 5/8" ARBOR
HOLES AND RATED FOR 5000 RPM OR HIGHER.
1. Assemble the inside (thick) arbor flange (A) Fig. 44,
onto the arbor shaft with the recessed side of flange (A)
facing out.
2. With the blade guard (B) Fig. 45, in the left hand,
insert saw blade (C) into the blade guard (B) and onto
the arbor shaft.
3. Assemble the outside (thin) blade flange (D) Fig. 45,
with the recessed side of flange (D) facing in and arbor
nut (E) onto the arbor shaft. NOTE: ARBOR NUT (E)
FIG. 45, HAS A LEFT HAND THREAD.
4. Lift cam (F) Fig. 46, and assemble blade guard (B)
onto cutting-head assembly. NOTE: MAKE CERTAIN
TONGUE ON GUARD SEATS INTO GROOVE OF
CUTTING-HEAD.
5. Pull back on blade guard (B)Fig. 47, so that it
rotates to the rear, and tighten arbor nut (E) using two
wrenches (G) supplied. Place the 7/8" box wrench
around the arbor nut (E), and place the 7/8" open end
wrench on the flat on the arbor, to hold the arbor while
removing the arbor nut.
6. Rotate blade guard (B)Fig. 46, to the horizontal
position and tighten clamp knob (H). IMPORTANT:
CLAMP KNOB (H) FIG. 46, MUST BE TIGHT AND
BLADE GUARD SECURE DURING OPERATION.
The lower retractable blade guard provides
operator protection in an axial direction to the saw
blade. Help eliminate potential hazards of the lower
blade guard by using the following rules.
A) KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THE
GUARD. As the blade cuts, the guard will lift
and leave part of the blade exposed.
B)
SHUT OFF POWER BEFORE FREEING A
JAMMED LOWER GUARD. The guard can get
jammed in previous kerfs in table or fence.
Always anticipate the path of the guard.
C) USE CAUTION when making bevel cuts to be
sure the lower guard is never pinched towards
the blade.
D)
THE LOWER GUARD CAN JAM AGAINST
THE FENCE DURING NARROW IN-RIPS.
Should the guard jam against the fence, dis-
connect the saw from power, wait for the blade
to stop, then lift the blade guard and rest it on
top of the fence.
