Maintenance; Keep Machine Clean; Lubrication And Rust Protection; Maintenance Reminders - Delta 36-5100 T2 Instruction Manual

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before cleaning or servicing, before installing and
removing accessories, before adjusting and when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

KEEP MACHINE CLEAN

Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All
plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER
use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or
otherwise damage the material.

LUBRICATION AND RUST PROTECTION

Apply hardwood flooring paste wax to the machine table occasionally
or use a commercially available protective product designed for this
purpose. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and safety.

MAINTENANCE REMINDERS

Wear certified safety equipment for eye, hearing and respiratory
protection while using compressed air.
Specific areas which require regular maintenance include:
RIVING KNIFE CLAMP PLATE: Keep this area free of dust and
debris buildup. Blow out area regularly with compressed air.
NOTE: If the riving knife clamp can't move freely, have the saw
serviced by authorized Delta Power Equipment Corporation service
center personnel.

1.
Lower the blade height to its lowest position.
2.
Loosen the torx screw
housing. This should be loosened enough to feel the motor
weight providing tension to the belt.
3.
