BLADE RAISINGMECHANISMThe saw blade is raised and lowered with the fronthandwheel (A) Fig. 41. With the exception of hollowground blades, the blade should be raised 1/8" to 1/4"above the top surface of the material being cut. Withhollow ground blades, the blade should be raised themaximum to provide greater clearance. To raise the sawblade, loosen lock knob (B) Fig. 41, and turn thehandwheel (A), clockwise. To lower the saw blade, turnhandwheel (A) counterclockwise.

The saw blade is locked at any height by turning the lockknob (B) Fig. 41, clockwise. Due to the wedge action ofthis locking device, only a small amount of force isrequired to lock the blade raising mechanism securely.Any added force merely puts unnecessary strain on thelocking device. Limit stops for raising or lowering arepermanently built into the mechanism and need nofurther adjustment.

Fig. 41

BLADE TILTING MECHANISMThe blade tilting mechanism allows the blade to be tiltedup to 45 degrees to the right.

To tilt the saw blade to the desired angle, loosen lockknob (D) Fig. 41, and turn handwheel (C). A pointerindicates the angle of tilt on scale (E), which is marked inone-degree increments. To lock the saw blade in thedesired angle of tilt, tighten lock knob (D).

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS LOCK THE BLADE INPOSITION BEFORE STARTING THE SAW.

OVERLOAD PROTECTIONYour saw is supplied with overload protection. If themotor shuts off or fails to start due to overloading(cutting stock too fast, using a dull blade, using the sawbeyond its capacity, etc.) or low voltage, let the motorcool three to five minutes. The overload willautomatically reset itself and the machine can then bestarted again by pressing the “ON” button. IMPORTANT: If the motor continually shuts off due tooverloading, the cause of overloading must becorrected. If this happens, it is recommended that youcontact a qualified electrician.

ADJUSTING TABLEThe saw table has been aligned at the factory so the mitergage slots are parallel to the saw blade; however, it isrecommended to check the alignment before initialoperation as follows:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

2. Place a combination square (A) Fig. 44, on the tablewith one edge of the square in the miter gage slot, asshown, and adjust the square so the rule just touches oneof the teeth on the saw blade at the forward position, asshown in Fig. 44. Lock the square in this position.

3. Rotate the saw blade so that the same tooth youused in STEP 2 is in the rear position, as shown in Fig. 45,and check this distance. Both the front and rear measure-ments should be identical.

4. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the four screwsthat hold the table to the saw cabinet.

5. Shift the table until a position is found which bringsthe saw blade in the center of the table insert slot, andparallel to the miter gage slot.

6. Tighten the four screws that were loosened in STEP 4.

7. Tilt the blade to 45 degrees, and turn the saw blade byhand, and insure it does not contact the table insert.

MITER GAGE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTInsert the miter gage bar into the miter gage slot andassemble the washer and lock handle (A) Fig. 47, to themiter gage bar as shown.

The miter gage is equipped with adjustable index stops at90 degrees and 45 degrees right and left. Adjustment tothe index stops can be made by tightening or looseningthe three adjusting screws (B) Fig. 48, with allen wrenchsupplied.

To rotate the miter gage, loosen lock knob (A) Fig. 48, andmove the body of the miter gage (C), to the desired angle.

The miter gage body will stop at 90 degrees and 45degrees both right and left. To rotate the miter gage bodypast these points, the stop link (D) Fig. 48, must bemoved up and out of the way.

The head of the miter gage pivots on a special taperedscrew (G) that fastens the head to the miter gage bar. Ifthe miter gage head does not pivot freely, or pivots toofreely, it can be adjusted by loosening set screw (H) Fig.49, and turning the screw (G) in or out. Be certain totighten screw (H) after adjustment is made. Your mitergage is equipped with a plate (E) Fig. 49, which fits intothe T-Slot groove in the table. This allows the miter gageto be pulled off the front edge of the table without falling.This allows for a longer cut off capacity in front of theblade.

PROTECTING CAST IRON TABLE FROM RUSTTo clean and protect cast iron tables from rust, you will need the following materials: 1 pushblock from a jointer, 1 sheetof medium Scotch-Brite™ Blending Hand Pad, 1 can of WD-40®, 1 can of degreaser, 1 can of TopCote® Aerosol. Applythe WD-40 and polish the table surface with the Scotch-Brite pad using the pushblock as a holddown. Degrease thetable, then apply the TopCote® accordingly.

OPERATIONSCommon sawing operations include ripping and crosscutting plus a few other standard operations of a fundamentalnature. As with all power tools, 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 considerablylessen 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 performingthe most common sawing operations.

NOTE: THE USE OF ATTACHMENTS AND ACCESSORIES NOT RECOMMENDED BY DELTA MAY RESULT IN THERISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS.

CROSS-CUTTINGCross-cutting requires the use of the miter gage to positionand guide the work. Place the work against the miter gageand advance both the gage and work toward the saw blade,as shown in Fig. 53. The miter gage may be used in eithertable slot. When bevel cutting (blade tilted), use the left mitergage slot so that the blade tilts away from the miter gageand your hands.Start the cut slowly and hold the work firmly against themiter gage and the table. One of the rules in running a sawis that you never hang onto or touch a free piece of work.Hold the supported piece, not the free piece that is cut off.The feed in cross-cutting continues until the work is cut intwo, and the miter gage and work are pulled back to thestarting point. Before pulling the work back, it is goodpractice to give the work a little sideways shift to move thework slightly away from the saw blade. Never pick up anyshort length of free work from the table while the saw isrunning. A smart operator never touches a cutoff pieceunless it is at least a foot long.For added safety and convenience the miter gage can befitted with an auxiliary wood-facing (C), as shown in Fig. 54,that should be at least 1 inch higher than the maximumdepth of cut, and should extend out 12 inches or more toone side or the other depending on which miter gage slot isbeing used. This auxiliary wood-facing (C) can be fastenedto the front of the miter gage by using two wood screws (A)through the holes provided in the miter gage body and intothe wood-facing.IMPORTANT: When using the block (B) Fig. 55, as a cut-offgage, it is very important that the rear end of the block bepositioned so the work piece is clear of the block before itenters the blade.

WARNING: NEVER USE THE FENCE AS A CUT-OFFGAGE 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 usedas a cut-off gage as shown in Fig. 55. It is important that thisblock of wood always be positioned in front of the saw bladeas shown. Once the cut-off length is determined, secure thefence and use the miter gage to feed the work into the cut.This block of wood allows the cut-off piece to move freelyalong the table surface without binding between the fenceand the saw blade, thereby lessening the possibility ofkickback and injury to the operator.

USING THE FENCE AS ACUT-OFF GAGE

WARNING: WHEN USING YOUR UNIFENCE AS ACUT-OFF GAGE, MAKE SURE IT IS PROPERLY SETUP AS DESCRIBED HERE.

The fence can be used as a cut-off gage when crosscutting a number of pieces to the same length.IMPORTANT: When using the fence as a cut-off gage, itis very important that the rear end of the fence bepositioned so the work piece is clear of the fence beforeit enters the blade. When using the fence as a cut-offgage, position the fence (A) to the front as shown in Fig.56, or purchase a 12" long fence (B), as shown in Fig. 57.A typical operation using the 12" long fence (B) as a cut-off gage is shown in Fig. 58.

RIPPINGRipping is the operation of making a lengthwise cutthrough a board, as shown in Fig. 59, and the rip fence (A)is used to position and guide the work. One edge of thework rides against the rip fence while the flat side of theboard rests on the table. Since the work is pushed alongthe fence, it must have a straight edge and make solidcontact with the table. The saw guard must be used. Theguard has anti-kickback fingers to prevent woodkickback, and a splitter to prevent the wood kerf fromclosing and binding the blade.

Start the motor and advance the work holding it downand against the fence. Never stand in the line of the sawcut when ripping. Hold the work with both hands andpush it along the fence and into the saw blade as shownin Fig. 59. The work can then be fed through the sawblade with one or two hands. After the work is beyond thesaw blade and anti-kickback fingers, the hand is removedfrom the work. When this is done the work will either stayon the table, tilt up slightly and be caught by the rear endof the guard or slide off the table to the floor. Alternately,the feed can continue to the end of the table, after whichthe work is lifted and brought back along the outsideedge of the fence. The cut-off stock remains on the tableand is not touched with the hands until the saw blade isstopped, unless it is a large piece allowing safe removal.

Fig. 61USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON BIESEMEYERRIP FENCEIt is necessary when performing special operations suchas moulding to add wood facing (A) Fig. 62, to one orboth sides of the rip fence, as shown. The wood facing isattached to the fence with two clamps (B). 3/4 inch stockis suitable for most work although an occasional job mayrequire 1 inch facing.

A wood facing should be used when ripping thin materialsuch as paneling to prevent the material from catchingbetween the bottom of the rip fence and the saw tablesurface.

USING ACCESSORYMOULDING CUTTERHEADMoulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of thework. Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead inthe circular saw is a fast, safe and clean operation. Themany different knife shapes available make it possible forthe operator to produce almost any kind of mouldings,such as various styles of corner moulds, picture frames,table edges, etc.

The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which canbe mounted various shapes of steel knives, as shown inFig. 64. Each of the three knives in a set is fitted into agroove in the cutterhead and securely clamped with ascrew. The knife grooves should be kept free of sawdust,which would prevent the cutter from seating properly.

USING AUXILIARY WOODFACING ON THE UNIFENCE

Fig. 63

It is necessary when performing special operations suchas when using the moulding cutterhead to add woodfacing (A) Fig. 63, to one side of the rip fence as shown.The wood facing is attached to the fence with woodscrews through holes you drill in the fence. A suitablestock size for most work is 3/4", although an occasionaljob may require one inch facing.

When ripping boards longer than three feet, it isrecommended that a work support be used at the rear ofthe saw to keep the workpiece from falling off the sawtable.

If the ripped work is less than 4 inches wide, a push stickshould always be used to complete the feed, as shown inFig. 60. The push stick can easily be made from scrapmaterial as explained in the section “CONSTRUCTING APUSH STICK.” When ripping material under 2 inches inwidth, a flat pushboard is a valuable accessory sinceordinary type sticks may interfere with the blade guard.That flat pushboard can be made as shown in Fig. 61.

IMPORTANT: For certain cutting operations such asdadoing and moulding where you are not cuttingcompletely through the workpiece, the blade guard andsplitter assembly cannot be used. Loosen screws (G) and(H) Fig. 65. Lift up and swing blade guard and splitterassembly (W) Fig. 66, to the rear of the saw, and thentighten screws (G) and (H). CAUTION: Always return andfasten the blade guard and splitter assembly to its properoperating position for normal thru-sawing operations.

The moulding cutterhead (A) Fig. 67, is assembled to thesaw arbor as shown. NOTE: THE OUTSIDE ARBORFLANGE CAN NOT BE USED WITH THE MOULDINGCUTTERHEAD, TIGHTEN THE ARBOR NUT AGAINSTTHE CUTTERHEAD BODY. DO NOT LOOSE THEOUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGE, FOR IT WILL BE NEEDEDWHEN REATTACHING A BLADE TO THE UNISAWARBOR. ALSO, THE ACCESSORY MOULDINGCUTTERHEAD TABLE INSERT (B), MUST BE USED INPLACE OF THE STANDARD TABLE INSERT.

It is necessary when using the moulding cutterhead toadd wood-facing (C) to the face of the rip fence, asshown in Fig. 68. The wood-facing is attached to thebiesemeyer fence with two clamps, as shown (refer to theUnifence section of this manual for attaching wood facingto a Unifence). 3/4 inch stock is suitable for most workalthough an occasional job may require 1 inch facing.

Position the wood-facing over the cutterhead with thecutterhead below the surface of the table. Turn the sawon and raise the cutterhead. The cutterhead will cut itsown groove in the wood-facing. Fig. 68, shows a typicalmoulding operation. NEVER USE MOULDING CUTTER-HEAD IN A BEVEL POSITION.

IMPORTANT: NEVER RUN THE STOCK BETWEEN THEFENCE AND THE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD AS IRRE-GULAR SHAPED WOOD WILL CAUSE KICKBACK.

When moulding end grain, the miter gage is used. Thefeed should be slowed up at the end of the cut to preventsplintering.

In all cuts, attention should be given the grain, making thecut in the same direction as the grain whenever possible.

USING ACCESSORY DADO HEADIMPORTANT: THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTERASSEMBLY CANNOT BE USED WHEN DADOING ORMOULDING AND MUST BE REMOVED OR SWUNGTO THE REAR OF THE SAW.Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the work.Most dado head sets are made up of two outside sawsand four or five inside cutters, as shown in Fig. 69.Various combinations of saws and cutters are used to cutgrooves from 1/8" to 13/16" for use in shelving, makingjoints, tenoning, grooving, etc. The cutters are heavilyswaged and must be arranged so that this heavy portionfalls in the gullets of the outside saws, as shown in Fig.70. The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig. 71, (A)being the outside saw, (B) an inside cutter, and (C) apaper washer or washers which can be used as neededto control the exact width of groove. A 1/4" groove is cutby using the two outside saws. The teeth of the sawsshould be positioned so that the raker on one saw isbeside the cutting teeth on the other saw.

The dado head set (D) Fig. 72, is assembled to the sawarbor as shown. NOTE: THE OUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGECAN NOT BE USED WITH THE DADO HEAD SET,TIGHTEN THE ARBOR NUT AGAINST THE DADOHEAD SET BODY. DO NOT LOOSE THE OUTSIDEARBOR FLANGE, FOR IT WILL BE NEEDED WHENREATTACHING A BLADE TO THE UNISAW ARBOR.ALSO, THE ACCESSORY DADO HEAD SET TABLEINSERT (E) FIG. 72, MUST BE USED IN PLACE OF THESTANDARD TABLE INSERT.

IMPORTANT: THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTERASSEMBLY CANNOT BE USED WHEN DADOING ANDMUST BE REMOVED OR SWUNG TO THE REAR OFTHE SAW AS EXPLAINED PREVIOUSLY IN THISMANUAL. AUXILIARY JIGS, FIXTURES, PUSH STICKSAND FEATHER BOARDS SHOULD ALSO BE USED.

Fig. 73, shows a typical dado operation using the mitergage as a guide.

WARNING: NEVER USE THE DADO HEAD IN ABEVEL POSITION.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS INSTALL BLADE GUARDAFTER OPERATION IS COMPLETED.

CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARDFig. 74, illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard. The material which the featherboard is constructedof, should be a straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Featherboards are used to keep the work incontact with the fence and table and help prevent kickbacks. Clamp the featherboards to the fence and table so thatthe leading edge of the featherboards will support the workpiece until the cut is completed. Use featherboards for allnon “thru-sawing” operations where the guard and spreader assembly must be removed (see Fig. 75). Always replacethe guard and spreader assembly when the non thru-sawing operation is completed.
