CHANGING THE BLADE

1.Use only 12" diameter blades (with 1" arbor holes) that are rated for 5000 RPM or higher.

2.Use the supplied wrench to loosen screws (A) Fig. 42. NOTE: One screw is located under the arbor cover arm.

3.Rotate the arbor cover (C) Fig. 43, and move the guard (D) Fig. 43 to the rear, exposing the arbor screw (E).

4.Remove the arbor screw (E) Fig. 43, by turning screw clockwise with wrench (supplied), while pressing in on arbor lock (F) Fig. 44. Remove the outside blade flange (G) Fig. 43, and saw blade (H) Fig. 43. Do not remove the inside blade flange.

5.Attach the new saw blade. Ensure that the teeth of saw blade are pointing down at the front, and attach the outside blade flange (G) Fig. 43. Check to see that the flats on the outside blade flange are engaged with the flats on the arbor shaft.

6.Thread the arbor screw (E) Fig. 43, into the saw arbor by turning the screw (E) counterclockwise as far as possible by hand. Tighten the arbor screw (E) Fig. 43 with the supplied wrench (J) Fig. 44 while pressing in on the arbor lock

(F) Fig. 44.

7.Rotate the arbor cover (C) Fig. 43, and move the guard (D) to the front. Tighten the screws (A) that were loosened in STEP 2.

KEEP TOOL CLEAN

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

Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while using compressed air.

FAILURE TO START

Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good contact with the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.

36-312 specifications

The Delta 36-312 is a table saw that has gained a reputation among woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts for its robust performance and high-quality construction. This tool is designed for both professionals and hobbyists looking to achieve precise cuts in various materials, making it a versatile addition to any workshop.

One of the standout features of the Delta 36-312 is its powerful 15-amp motor, which provides ample power for handling a wide range of cutting tasks. This motor allows the saw to maintain consistent speeds even when cutting through denser materials, ensuring smooth, uniform results every time.

The design of the Delta 36-312 includes a massive cast iron table, which offers stability and durability while reducing vibration during operation.
