Power Connections; Double Insulation - Delta 26-2240 Instruction Manual

k. Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or miter angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence
is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interface with the blade or the guarding system.
Without turning the tool "ON" and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a complete simulated
cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
l. Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or
longer than the table top
piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
m. Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support
for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and
the helper into the spinning blade.
n. The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If
confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged the blade and thrown violently.
o. Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such as rods or tubing. Rods
have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
p. Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece
being thrown
q. If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed,turn the miter saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop
and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the
jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage ti the miter
saw.
r. After finishing the cut, release switch, hold the saw down and wait for the blade to stop before removing
the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
s. Hold the handle, firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw
head is completely in the position. The breaking action of the saw may cause the saw to be suddenly pulled
downward, causing a risk of injury.
t. Saw Head lock pin is for storage and transport only. This saw should never be locked in the down position while
making cuts.
u. Do not operate saw without guards in place.
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire. 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 wmachine. 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 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 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
. Workpieces longer or wider than the miter saw table can if not securely supported. If the cut-off
