GENERAL SAFETY RULES

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury or property damage.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result. Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, featherboards, goggles, dust masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it. Figure out an alternative procedure that feels safer. REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility. For additional information please visit our website www.deltamachinery.com.

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. At 40 inches in length, the table provides ample workspace for larger projects and facilitates easier handling of sizable sheets of plywood or lumber.

This fence can be locked securely in place, ensuring that it will not shift during use, which is crucial for maintaining cutting accuracy.

The saw also integrates a riving knife technology that enhances safety by reducing the risk of kickback. This feature allows for smoother operation and is an essential aspect of modern table saw design. In addition, the saw includes a dust collection system that helps maintain a cleaner workspace by minimizing sawdust during operation.

For ease of transport and maneuverability, the Delta 36-312 is equipped with sturdy wheels, allowing it to be easily moved around the workshop or stored away when not in use. The assembly process is relatively straightforward, with most components easily fitting together without the need for specialized tools.

Overall, the Delta 36-312 represents a blend of power, precision, and safety features that cater to a wide range of woodworking needs.
