Compound Miter Cuts; Large Panel Cuts; Non-Through Cuts; Making A Non-Through Cut - Delta ShopMaster Manual De Instrucciones

COMPOUND MITER CUTS

This is a combination of bevel crosscutting and mitering.
Refer to (Fig. 19) and follow the instructions for both bevel
crosscutting and mitering. Remember to use the right miter
slot on the right side of the blade for all bevel cuts.

LARGE PANEL CUTS

Place workpiece supports at the same height as the saw table
behind saw to support the cut workpiece, and alongside (s) of
saw, as needed. Depending on shape of panel, use rip fence or
miter gauge to control workpiece. If a workpiece is too large to
use either a rip fence or a miter gauge, it is too large for this
saw.

NON-THROUGH CUTS

The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves,
and rabbets. Non-through cuts can be made using a standard
blade having a diameter of 10 inches. Non-through cuts are
the only type of cuts that should be made without the blade
guard assembly installed. Make sure the blade guard assembly
is reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut.
• When making non-through cuts, follow all applicable
warnings and instructions listed below in addition to those
listed above for the relevant through cut.
• When making a non-through cut, blade is covered by
workpiece during most of cut. Be alert to exposed blade at
start and finish of every cut.
• Never feed wood with hands when making any non-
through cuts such as rabbets or grooves. Always use miter
gauge, push blocks or push sticks, and featherboards
where appropriate.
• In addition to this section, read the appropriate section
which describes the type of through or cut. For example,
if your non-through cut is a straight cross cut, read and
understand the section on straight cross cuts before
proceeding.
• Once all non-through cuts are completed, unplug saw and
return riving knife to through cut position. Install anti-
kickback pawls and blade guard.
• Carefully follow the instructions accompanying any
specialized blades for proper installation, set up and
operation.
HEELING (PARALLELING) BLADE
TO MITER GAUGE GROOVE
• Blade (A) must be parallel to miter gauge groove so
that wood does not bind, resulting in kickback. Failure
to do so could result in serious personal injury.
• To reduce risk of injury from kickback, align rip fence
to blade (A) following any blade adjustments.
DO NOT loosen any screws for this adjustment until
alignment has been checked with a square to be sure
adjustments are necessary. Once screws are loosened, items
must be reset.
Note: Unplug saw. Remove blade guard and anti-kickback
pawls. Raise the blade (A) by turning height adjusting wheel.
1.
Mark beside one of blade teeth at front of blade (A).
Place a combination square even with front of saw table
and side of saw blade (A) as shown.
2.
Turn blade (A) so that marked tooth is at back. Move
combination square to the rear and again measure the
distance. If the distances are the same, blade (A) is
square.

MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT

1.
Unplug saw.
2.
Unlock bevel lock.
3.
Adjust bevel angle to 0°.
4.
Lock bevel lock.
5.
Remove blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
6.
Place riving knife in "lowered" position. (See RIVING KNIFE
ADJUSTMENT Section).
7.
Set blade to correct depth for workpiece.
8.
Depending on shape and size of wood, use either rip fence or
miter gauge.
9.
Plug saw into power source and turn saw on.
10.
Let blade build up to full speed before moving workpiece into
blade.
11.
Always use push blocks, push sticks, and/or featherboards
when making non-through cuts to reduce the risk of serious
injury.
12.
When cut is made, turn saw off. Wait for blade to come to a
complete stop before removing workpiece.
13.
When cut is complete, re-adjust riving knife to position as
detail on page 12 and 13.
