Compound Miter Cuts; Large Panel Cuts; Non-Through Cuts; Making A Non-Through Cut - Delta 36-6022 Instruction Manual

COMPOUND MITER CUTS

This is a combination of bevel crosscutting and mitering.
Refer to Figure 40 and follow the instructions for both
bevel crosscutting and mitering. Remember to use the
right miter slot on the right side of the blade 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.
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.

MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT

1. Unplug saw.
2. Unlock bevel lock.
3. Adjust bevel angle to 0°.
4. Lock bevel lock.
5. Remove blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
6. Place riving knife in "lowered" position. See RIVING
KNIFE POSITION AND ALIGNMENT Section on page
32.
7. Set blade to correct depth for workpiece.
8. Depending on shape and size of wood, use either rip

• Never feed wood with hands when making any non-
through cuts such as rabbets or grooves. Always
use miter gauge, push blocks or push sticks, and
featherboards where appropriate.
• In addition to this section, read the appropriate
section which describes the type of through or cut.
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 return riving knife to through cut position.
Install anti-kickback pawls and blade guard.
• Carefully follow the instructions accompanying any
specialized blades for proper installation, set up and
operation.
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.
