for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
16. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of accessories and
attachments not recommended by Delta may cause hazards or risk of injury
to persons.

power failure, move switch to the "OFF" position.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is
tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or
other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function – check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the
direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF.
Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
22. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE COMMON
SENSE WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL. DO NOT USE TOOL WHILE
TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR
MEDICATION. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
23. MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER SUPPLY
while motor is being mounted, connected or reconnected.
24. THE DUST GENERATED by certain woods and wood products can be
injurious to your health. Always operate machinery in well ventilated areas
and provide for proper dust removal. Use wood dust collection systems
whenever possible.
