Adjusting The 90° And 45° Positive Bevel Stops; Securing Saw To Floor; Preparing To Cut - Delta 36-725 T2 Instruction Manual

ADJUSTING 90° AND 45° POSITIVE BEVEL STOPS
There are positive stops at each end of the bevel range. To ensure
accurate cuts, the positive stops must be positioned at exactly at
90° and 45°. The bevel stops are properly adjusted as shipped.
However, for maximum accuracy, you should check the position
of the stops upon assembly and from time to time to assure that
the settings remain satisfactory. To check the position of the stops
and adjust if necessary, refer to Figure 14 and do the following.
1.
Release the blade tilt lock knob located on the right side of
the saw by rotating counter clockwise.
2.
Rotate the blade tilt handwheel counter clockwise and tilt
the blade to the 0° position until the stop is reached.
3.
Using a carpenter's square, check the angle of the blade
face to the table, as shown in Figure 20b, page 18. If the
blade is at 90° to the table, proceed to Step 6.
4.
If the blade is not perpendicular to the table, turn
handwheel to slightly tilt the blade away from the stop
position then adjust the 90° stop by rotating the socket
set screw located in the table top immediately in front of
the left side of throat plate (A). Re-check angle using the
carpenter's square and continue to adjust until the blade is
at 90 degrees when returned to the stop position.

SECURING SAW TO FLOOR

This saw is designed for portability. Do not
attempt to use the saw to cut a large or
cumbersome workpiece without first taking appropriate steps to
protect against tipping the saw. Examples of appropriate steps
include the use of support tables and/or securing the saw legs
to the floor by replacing the saw feet with connecting bolts or by
attaching the legs to a floor mounted bracket with u-straps.
Failure to comply with the following
warnings may result in serious personal
injury.
• ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact
with the blade before operating the switch to start the saw.
Blade contact could result in kickback or thrown workpiece.
• To reduce the risk of accidental starting, ALWAYS make
sure the switch is in the off position before plugging saw
into power source.

PREPARING TO CUT

• DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this
tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
• Turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before
installing and removing accessories, before adjusting and
when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause
injury.
• Prior to operating the saw, make sure you are familiar
with its features and controls, and have made all
necessary adjustments as described below.
15
Rotate the blade tilt wheel counterclockwise until it rests on
the 45° stop. Then repeat Steps 4 and 5, adjusting the 45°
stop by rotating the socket set screw located in front of the
right side of the throat plate. (B)
