8.Assemble splitter (H) Fig. 11, to splitter support bracket (B) as shown using 3/4 inch-long hex head screw, external tooth washer, and flat washer (L).

9.Fasten splitter (H) Fig. 12, to splitter support bracket using flat washer, external tooth lockwasher and wing nut (M). NOTE: Before tightening wing nut (M) make cer- tain there is at least a 1/8" gap between the bottom edge of splitter (N) and top surface of table (P) and that pro- trusions (K) Fig. 12, are inside the slot of splitter assem- bly (H).

10.Using a straight edge, check to see if the splitter (H) Fig. 12A, is aligned with the saw blade (R). If an adjust- ment is necessary, the splitter (H) can be moved left or right and rotated.

11.When you are certain the splitter is properly aligned with the saw blade, tighten the two screws (C) Fig. 12B, that fasten the splitter support bracket to the splitter bracket and tighten screw (G) that fastens the splitter bracket to the pivot rod.

MITER GAGE

The miter gage is shipped completely assembled and is supplied with a T-slot miter gage bar (A) Fig. 13, that is inserted into either one of the two T-slotted miter gage grooves located in the table top, as shown. The T-slot miter gage prevents the miter gage from falling when it is extended out beyond the front of the table when cross- cutting extra wide workpieces.

The Delta 36-540 and 36-545 are highly regarded table saws designed for precision, durability, and efficiency. These models are widely used by woodworkers, both hobbyists and professionals, and they offer advanced features that enhance cutting capabilities and overall user experience.

One of the main features of the Delta 36-540 is its powerful 15-amp motor, which delivers ample torque and ensures that even the toughest hardwoods can be cut with ease. The motor is designed for smooth operation and minimal vibration, thereby enhancing accuracy during cutting tasks. The saw has a 10-inch blade that can reach impressive speeds, allowing for quick and clean cuts.

The Delta 36-545 model offers similar performance, but it comes with additional features that cater to more advanced users. Both models include a high-quality cast iron table, which provides a robust and stable surface for cutting. This construction helps reduce vibrations and increases the overall stability of the saw, ensuring precise cuts every time.

Both saws incorporate a patented blade-guard system, promoting safety in the workshop. This feature provides clear visibility of the cutting area while safeguarding the user from accidental blade contact. Additionally, the easy-to-use adjustment mechanisms allow users to modify blade height and angle quickly, simplifying the setup process for different cutting applications.

Another significant aspect of the Delta 36-540 and 36-545 is their fence systems. They come equipped with a reliable and adjustable fence that locks firmly in place, ensuring consistent and straight cuts. The alignment and precision of the fence save time during setup and provide users with confidence in their cuts.
