Delta UniSAW 36-L336 Manual De Instrucciones página 19

THIS SAW IS INTENDED FOR USE ONLY WITH SAW BLADES
10" (254 mm) IN DIAMETER. See Fig. 38.
1. The saw blade furnished with your new saw is a 10"
(254 mm) combination blade, used for cross cutting (across
the grain) and ripping (with the grain) through the material.
The center hole to fit on the arbor is 5/8" (16 mm) diameter.
This blade will produce a good quality cut for most applications.
2. There are many types of blades available to do specific and
special jobs such as cross cut only, rip only, hollow ground, thin
plywood, paneling, etc.
3. Use only saw blades designed for maximum safe operating
speeds of 4,300 RPM or greater.
4. Saw blades should always be kept sharp. It is recommended
that you locate a reputable sharpening service to sharpen your
blades when needed.
5. Never stack blades on top of one another to store. Place
material such as cardboard between them to keep the blades
from coming in contact with one another, or place them in
storage drawer.
Abrasive wheels or blades (including diamond)
should not be used on this saw.
RIVING KNIFE SELECTION
To minimize the risk of kickback and to insure
proper cutting, the riving knife must be the proper thickness
for the blade used.
The riving knife supplied with this table saw is the correct size for
the blade supplied with the saw.
If a different blade is used, check the blade body, or plate,
thickness and the blade kerf, or cutting, width marked on the
blade or on the blade packaging. The riving knife thickness must
be greater than the body thickness and less than the kerf width as
shown in Fig. 39. If it is not, the riving knife MUST be replaced with
one that has the correct thickness.
The riving knife provided with this saw is 2.8mm thick and will be
marked in this way:
