STORING TH E MITER GAGE, RIP FENCE, AND A R B O R W R E N C H E S 1 . When not in use, the miter gage (A) Fig. 90, can be stored through the hole located at the front side of the s tand as shown.
4 . To move the fence along the guide rail, simply lift u p clamp lever (A), as shown in Fig. 94, slide fence to desired position on the rail, and push down on clamp lever (A) to lock fence in place. Fig.
ADJUSTING FENCE 90 DEGREES TO TA B L E The fence must be adjusted so that the face of fence (A) Fig. 98, is 90 degrees to the ta b l e . To check if the fence is 90 degrees to the table, place a square (B) on the table with one end of the square against the fence, as shown.
O P E R ATIONS Common sawing operations include ripping and cross-cutting plus a few other standard operations of a fundamenta l n a t u r e . As with all power tools, there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the operation and use of the tool. Using the tool with the respect and caution demanded as far as safety precautions are concerned, will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury.
. The saw blade guard must be used. On Delta saws, the guard has anti-kickback fingers to prevent kickback and a split- ter to prevent the saw kerf from closing and binding the blade.
Fig. 108 Fig. 109 If the ripped work is less than 4 inches wide, a push stick should always be used to complete the feed, as shown i n F i g . 1 0 8 . The push stick can easily be made from scrap material as explained in the section C O N- STRUCTING PUSH STICK.
USING A C C E S S O RY MOULDING CUTTERHEAD Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the work. Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead in the circular saw is a fast, safe and clean operation.The many different knife shapes available make it possible for the operator to produce almost any kind of mouldings, such as various styles of corner moulds, picture frames,...
It is necessary when using the moulding cutterhead to add wood-facing (C) to the face of the rip fence, as shown in Fig. 11 7 . The wood-facing is attached to the fence with wood screws through holes which must be drilled in the fence.
The dado head set (D) Fig. 121, is assembled to the saw arbor as shown. IMPORTA N T:The blade guard and splitter assembly cannot be used when dadoing and must be removed or swung to the rear of the saw as explained previously in this manual.
CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK When ripping work less than 4 inches wide, a push stick should be used to complete the feed and could easily be made from scrap material by following the pattern shown in Fig. 124.
