The following information describes the safe and proper method for performing the most common sawing operations. NOTE: THE USE OF ATTACHMENTS AND ACCESSORIES NOT RECOMMENDED BY DELTA MAY RESULT IN THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS.
Fig. 56 Fig. 57 USING THE FENCE AS A CUT-OFF GAGE WARNING: WHEN USING YOUR UNIFENCE AS A CUT-OFF GAGE, MAKE SURE IT IS PROPERLY SET UP AS DESCRIBED HERE. The fence can be used as a cut-off gage when cross cutting a number of pieces to the same length.
When ripping boards longer than three feet, it is recommended that a work support be used at the rear of the saw to keep the workpiece from falling off the saw table. If the ripped work is less than 4 inches wide, a push stick should always be used to complete the feed, as shown in Fig.
Page 21
IMPORTANT: For certain cutting operations such as dadoing and moulding where you are not cutting completely through the workpiece, the blade guard and splitter assembly cannot be used. Loosen screws (G) and (H) Fig. 65. Lift up and swing blade guard and splitter assembly (W) Fig.
USING ACCESSORY DADO HEAD IMPORTANT: THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY CANNOT BE USED WHEN DADOING OR MOULDING AND MUST BE REMOVED OR SWUNG TO THE REAR OF THE SAW. Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the work. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside saws and four or five inside cutters, as shown in Fig.
CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD Fig. 74, illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard. The material which the featherboard is constructed of, should be a straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table and help prevent kickbacks.
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.
Page 25
Splitter and Anti-kickback Fingers Fig. 77, is an accessory that can be used in place of the standard blade guard that is supplied with the Unisaw. The Delta Model 34-976 Uniguard Blade Guard can be mounted to the Unisaw, the Unisaw with a Jet-Lock rip fence, the Unisaw with a 52"...
