ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.

1.DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury.

2.OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.

3.FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommend- ed electrical connections to prevent shock or electrocution.

4.KEEP KNIVES SHARP and free from rust and pitch. Dull or rusted knives work harder and can cause kickback.

5.NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON” before clearing the table of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.). Flying debris can cause serious injury.

6. NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON” with the work- piece contacting the cutterhead. Kickback can occur.

7.SECURE THE MACHINE TO A SUPPORTING SUR- FACE to prevent the machine from sliding, walking or tipping over.

8.PROPERLY SECURE THE KNIVES IN THE CUTTER- HEAD before turning the power “ON”. Loose blades may be thrown out at high speeds causing serious injury.

9.LOCK THE SPEED SETTING SECURELY before feeding the workpiece through the machine. Changing speeds while planing can cause kick- back.

10.AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSI- TIONS. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the knives.

11.KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the cutterhead, the chip exhaust opening, and the feed rollers to prevent severe cuts.

12.NEVER REACH INTO THE CUTTERHEAD AREA while the machine is running. Your hands can be drawn into the knives.

13.DO NOT STAND IN LINE OF THE WORKPIECE. Kickback can cause injury.

14.ALLOW THE CUTTERHEAD TO REACH FULL SPEED before feeding a workpiece. Changing speeds while planing can cause kickback.

15.WHEN PLANING BOWED STOCK, place the concave (cup down) side of the stock on the table and cut with the grain to prevent kickback.

16.DO NOT FEED A WORKPIECE that is warped, contains knots, or is embedded with foreign objects (nails, staples, etc.). Kickback can occur.

17.DO NOT FEED A SHORT, THIN, OR NARROW WORKPIECE INTO THE MACHINE. Your hands can be drawn into the knives and/or the workpiece can be thrown at high speeds. See the “OPERATION” section of this instruction manual for details.

18.DO NOT FEED A WORKPIECE into the outfeed end of the machine. The workpiece will be thrown out of the opposite side at high speeds.

19.REMOVE SHAVINGS ONLY with the power “OFF” to prevent serious injury.

20.PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORK- PIECES. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause serious injury.

21.NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY or set-up work on the table/work area when the machine is running. Serious injury will result.

22.TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, DISCONNECT IT FROM THE POWER SOURCE, and clean the table/work area before leaving the machine. LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION to prevent un- authorized use. Someone else might accidentally start the machine and cause injury to themselves or others.

23.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of power tools (i.e. a safety video) is available from the Power Tool Institute, 1300 Sumner Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44115-2851 (www.powertoolinstitute.com). Information is also available from the National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201. Please refer to the American National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety Requirements for Woodworking Machines and the U.S. Department of Labor Regulations.

22-451, 22-450 specifications

Delta 22-450 and Delta 22-451 are notable models within Delta's commitment to high-performance, precision woodworking tools. Designed for both amateur and professional woodworkers, these tools embody an ideal blend of innovation, usability, and durability.

One of the primary features of the Delta 22-450 is its powerful motor, which delivers reliable performance even under heavy workloads. This model is equipped with a 1.5 HP motor that ensures consistent power, allowing users to tackle various materials with ease. The motor is designed to operate quietly while minimizing vibrations, which enhances user comfort and precision during operation.

In contrast, the Delta 22-451 takes this a step further, boasting a slightly more robust 1.75 HP motor. This feature allows for increased cutting capacity and the ability to work with thicker and denser materials without bogging down. Both models come with a high-quality build, featuring cast-iron bases that provide stability and reduce vibration, further contributing to accuracy in cuts.

Another standout characteristic of the Delta 22-450 and 22-451 is their innovative fence system. Both models utilize a patented fence design that is easy to adjust and lock securely in place, providing users with confidence in their cutting precision. This technology makes repetitive cuts simple and accurate, which is invaluable when working on larger projects.

Additionally, safety is a key focus in the design of these tools. Delta has incorporated various safety features, such as blade guards and anti-kickback mechanisms, to protect users during operation. This attention to safety is crucial, especially for those who may be newer to woodworking or those operating in busy environments.

Furthermore, these models also feature a dust collection system that maintains a clean workspace. The integrated ports allow for connection to dust extraction systems, ensuring that the work environment remains clear of debris, which not only keeps the workspace safer but also improves visibility for more accurate work.

In summary, the Delta 22-450 and 22-451 are exceptional tools designed for both professional woodworkers and dedicated hobbyists. With powerful motors, advanced fence systems, robust safety features, and effective dust collection, these models are engineered to enhance the woodworking experience and deliver superior results. Their blend of reliability and innovative technology makes them worthwhile investments for anyone serious about woodworking.
