Power Connections; Double Insulation; Save These Instructions - Delta HOMECRAFT H26-260L Instruction Manual

ADJUSTMENTS ARE LOCKED IN POSITION
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SAW. Lock the miter
table by securely tightening the miter lock levers.
Lock the saw arm by securely tightening the bevel
lock knob.
8. NEVER USE A LENGTH STOP ON THE FREE
SCRAP END OF A CLAMPED WORKPIECE.
NEVER hold onto or bind the free scrap end of
the workpiece in any operation. If a work clamp
and length stop are used together, they must both
be installed on the same side of the saw table to
prevent the saw blade from contacting the cut off
piece.
9. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREEHAND.
Always place the workpiece to be cut on the miter
table and position it firmly against the fence as a
backstop. Always use the fence.
10. NEVER reach behind, under, or within three inches
of the moving blade and its cutting path with hands
and fingers for any reason.
11. NEVER reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of
scrap, or anything else that is in or near the cutting
path of the blade.
12. NEVER move the workpiece or make adjustment
to any cutting angle while the saw is running or the
blade is rotating. Any slip can result in contact with
the blade causing serious personal injury.
13. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and
should be protected with a 15 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which
have 3-prong grounding type plugs. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in
the "OFF" position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine.
All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP OR
WET LOCATIONS.
Your machine is wired for 120 volts, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source,
make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position.

DOUBLE INSULATION

This machine is double insulated. Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates
the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal
motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded
The double insulated system is designed to protect the user from shock resulting from a break
in the tool's internal insulation. However, it is important to observe normal safety precautions
to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should
be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to the nearest
authorized service center for repair. Always use identical replacement parts when servicing.
MITER SAW SAFETY RULES

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.

POWER CONNECTIONS

POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your
hand to move into the blade. ALWAYS make sure
you have good balance. NEVER operate the miter
saw on the floor or in a crouched position.
14. ALWAYS release the power switch and allow the
saw blade to stop rotating before raising it out of
the workpiece or changing settings.
15. IF ANY PART OF THIS MITER SAW IS MISSING or
should break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any
electrical component fail to perform properly, shut
off the power switch, remove the miter saw plug
from the power source and have damaged, missing,
or failed parts replaced before resuming operation.
16. ALWAYS STAY ALERT! Do not allow familiarity
(gained from frequent use of the saw) to cause
a careless mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that a
careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
severe injury.
17. IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, it
m u t s b e e r p a l c e d b
electrician.
18. NEVER leave the saw unattended while connected
to a power source.
19. ALWAYS carry the tool only by the base.
20. AVOID direct eye exposure when using the laser
guide.
