MACHINE USE

COMMON SAWING OPERATIONS

Common sawing operations include ripping and crosscutting plus a few other standard operations of a fundamental nature.

As with all power machines, there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the operation and use of the machine. Using

the machine with the respect and caution demanded as far as safety precautions are concerned, will considerably lessen the

possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or completely ignored, personal injury to

the operator can result. The following information describes the safe and proper method for performing the most common

sawing operations.

The use of attachments and accessories not recommended by Delta may result in the risk of injury to

the user or others.

CROSS-CUTTING

Cross-cutting requires the use of the miter gauge to

position and guide the work. Place the work against the

miter gauge and advance both the gauge and work toward

the saw blade, as shown in Fig. 46. The miter gauge may

be used in either table slot. When bevel cutting (blade tilted),

use the table groove that does not cause interference of

your hand or miter gauge with the saw blade guard.

Start the cut slowly and hold the work firmly against the

miter gauge and the table.

One of the rules in running a saw is that

you never hang onto or touch the part of the workpiece

that will be cut off. Hold the supported piece, not the free

piece that is cut off. The feed in cross-cutting continues

until the work is cut in two, and the miter gauge and work

are pulled back to the starting point. Before pulling the

work back, it is good practice to give the work a little

sideways shift to move the work slightly away from the saw

blade. Never

pick up any short length of free work from the

table while the saw is running. While blade is running,

never

touch a cut-off piece unless it is at least a foot long.

For added safety and convenience the miter gauge can be

fitted with an auxiliary wood-facing (C), as shown in

Fig. 47, that should be at least 1 inch higher than the

maximum depth of cut, and should extend out 12 inches or

more to one side or the other depending on which miter

gauge slot is being used. This auxiliary wood-facing (C) can

be fastened

to the front of the miter gauge by using two

wood screws (A) through the holes provided in the miter

gauge body and into the wood-facing.

When using the block (B) Fig. 48, as a cut-

off gauge, it is very important that the rear end of the block

be positioned so the work piece is clear of the block before

it enters the blade.

NEVER USE THE FENCE AS A CUT-OFF

gauge WHEN CROSS-CUTTING.

When cross-cutting a number of pieces to the same length,

a BLOCK OF WOOD (B), can be clamped to the fence and

used as a cut-off gauge as shown in Fig. 48. It is important

that this block of wood always be positioned in front of the

saw blade as shown. Once the cut-off length is determined,

secure the fence and use the miter gauge to feed the work

into the cut. This block of wood allows the cut-off piece to

move freely along the table surface without binding

between the fence and the saw blade, thereby lessening the

possibility of kickback and injury to the operator.
