ADJUSTING
SLIDING
FIT BETWEEN
CUTTINGHEAD
ARM
AND
TRUNNION
DISCONNECT
MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE,
After a period of time, an adjustment of the sliding fit between
the cuttinghead
arm (B) Fig. 27, and the trunnion (C) may be
necessary. To adjust, tighten or loosen the nut (D). Correct
adjustment
provides
a snug sliding fit between
these two
parts. This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the
sliding movement of the cuttinghead
arm (B) or so loose that it
affects the accuracy of the saw cut.
_
Overtightening
can result in preventing
the cutting
head from returning to its
maximum raised position, leaving the blade exposed and
possibly resulting in personal injury.
ADJUSTING
THE
LOWER
BLADE
GUARD
_
DISCONNECT
THE MACHINE FROM
THE POWER SOURCE.
This machine incorporates
a blade guard (A) Fig. 28 to cover
the rear section of the blade. After an extended period of use,
the movable
lower blade guard may not operate smoothly
when the cuttinghead
is lowered. This can be corrected
by
adjusting nut (B) until the lower blade guard moves freely.
Overtightening
the
nut
could
impair
guard movement.
NOTE: This unit has been designed with an
articulating
rear guard. Before contacting
the workpiece,
the rear guard will rotate
upward to expose more of the blade as the
cuttinghead
is lowered.
Do not remove any of the blade guards.
Make sure that all guards are in
place and functioning
properly before
operating the saw.
Make sure that the fences are clear of
the
guard
and
blade
before
operating
the saw.
AUTOMATIC
ELECTRIC BRAKE
Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade brake which stops the saw blade within 5 seconds of trigger
release. This is not adjustable. On occasion, there may be a delay after trigger release to brake engagement. On rare
occasions, the brake may not engage at all and the blade will coast to a stop. If a delay or "skipping"
occurs, turn the
saw on and off 4 or 5 times. If the condition persists, have the tool serviced by an authorized Delta Machinery service
center. Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from the kerr. The brake is not a substitute for guards
or for ensuring your own safety by giving the saw your complete attention.
