5. Using a combination square (M) Figs. 19 and 20, check the left and right front edge of table board (A) to make certain both sides are the same distance from the edge of each table support (B) Fig. 20. Fig.
Page 13
10. Loosen track arm clamp handle (Y) Fig. 24. NOTE: Track clamp handle (Y) has left handed threads. Press down on indexing release handle (Z) and pivot track arm (X) to the left until motor shaft (B) Fig. 25, is near front left adjustment screw (P) of table board (A) as shown.

REMOVING “HEELING” IN SAW BLADE CUT Even though the cutting-head travel may be perfectly aligned at 90 degrees to the fence, the blade itself may not be 90 degrees or square with the fence, as shown in Fig. 37. This condition is known as “heeling.” To check and adjust, proceed as follows: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
Page 17
5. Place a square (D) Fig. 41, on the table and against the saw blade, as shown, and check to see if the blade is square with the table. NOTE: The square should rest between two teeth of the saw blade. 6.

FASTENING SAW TO THE FLOOR If during operation there is any tendency for the saw to tip over, slide, or walk on the supporting surface, the saw should be secured to the floor surface through holes provided on the bottom of each leg. CUTTING INTO TABLE BOARDS 1.
Fig. 56 Padlock (D) Fig. 57, is available as an accessory. MOTOR Your Delta Radial Arm Saw is equipped with a dual voltage motor capable of 120 volt, single phase operation or 240 volt, single phase operation. The motor on your saw is shipped from the factory wired for 120 volt operation.

POSITIVE STOP YOKE INDEX Yoke index lever (A) Fig. 71, activates a positive stop which positions the cutting-head in the cross-cut or rip position. To rotate the cutting-head, release yoke clamp handle, press up or down on yoke index lever (A), releasing the positive stop, and rotate the cutting-head to the #1 in-rip or #2 out-rip or #3 cross-cut positions as desired.
AUXILIARY TABLE BOARD FACING To prevent repeated cutting into the table surface which will eventually cause the table to sag, an auxiliary table board facing can be cut and fitted to the table. It can be made from 1/4″ plywood or particle board and should be cut to a size that will exactly cover all of the table boards in front of the fence.
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING Compound miter cutting is performed in the same manner as miter cutting except the saw blade is also tilted to cut a bevel. The settings and operation are similar to miter cutting except that the blade is first tilted to the desired angle on the bevel scale before it is clamped in place.
CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK When ripping work less than 4 inches wide, a push stick should be used to complete the feed and could easily be made from scrap material by following the pattern shown in Fig. 79.
