Delta 36-978 instruction manual Using Accessory Dado Head

NOTE: THE OUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGE CAN NOT BE USED WITH THE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD. TIGHTEN THE ARBOR NUT AGAINST THE CUTTERHEAD BODY. DO NOT LOSE THE OUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGE. IT WILL BE NEEDED WHEN REATTACHING A BLADE TO THE ARBOR.

ALWAYS RETURN AND FASTEN

THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY TO ITS PROPER OPERATING POSITION FOR NORMAL THRU-SAWING OPERATIONS AS SHOWN IN FIG. 39.

1.A moulding cutterhead (A) Fig. S15 can be easily assembled to the saw arbor. Also, the accessory moulding cutterhead table insert (B) must be used in place of the standard table insert.

2.When using the moulding cutterhead, add wood- facing (C) to the face of the rip fence (Fig. S16). The wood-facing is attached to the fence with wood

screws through holes which must be drilled in the fence. Stock that is 3/4″ inch thick is suitable for most work, although an occasional job may require 1 inch facing.

3.Position the wood-facing over the cutterhead with the cutterhead below the surface of the table. Turn the saw on and raise the cutterhead. The cutterhead will cut its own groove in the wood-facing. Fig. S16 shows a typical moulding operation.

NEVER USE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD

IN A BEVEL POSITION.

NEVER RUN THE STOCK BETWEEN THE FENCE AND THE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD. IRREGULAR SHAPED WOOD WILL

CAUSE KICKBACK.

SPECIAL ATTENTION SHOULD BE

GIVEN THE GRAIN DIRECTION. MAKE ALL CUTS IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE GRAIN WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

ALWAYS INSTALL BLADE GUARD

AFTER OPERATION IS COMPLETE.
