Proposition 65 Warning; Power Connections - Delta ShopMaster S26-272L Instruction Manual

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITRE SAWS
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 against 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 mitre 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 to the mitre saw.
r) After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head 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 down position. The braking action of the saw
may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
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
a 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 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 an authorized DELTA® agent. For service, we suggest you return the tool to the nearest authorized
DELTA® agent for repair. Always use identical replacement parts when servicing.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
If tool is loaned to someone, also loan them these instructions.
