MITER GAGE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

The miter gage is equipped with adjustable index stops at 90, 75, 60,45 and 30 degrees.

To rotate the miter gage, loosen lock knob (A) Fig. 40, push the thumb lever (B) down and move the body of the miter gage (C) to the desired angle.

The miter gage is equipped with a plate (D) Fig.41 which fits into the T-Slot groove (E) in the table. This allows the miter gage to be pulled off the front edge of the table without falling. This allows for a longer cut-off capacity in front of the blade.

COMMON SAWING OPERATIONS

Common sawing operations include ripping and crosscutting plus a few other standard operations of a fundamental nature. As with all power machines, there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the operation and use of the machine. Using the machine with the respect and caution demanded as far as safety precautions are concerned, will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or completely ignored, personal injury to the operator can result. The following information describes the safe and proper method for performing the most common sawing operations.

THE USE OF ATTACHMENTS AND ACCESSORIES NOT RECOMMENDED BY DELTA MAY RESULT IN THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE USER OR OTHERS.
