The blade guard assembly provided with
dELTA saws (Fig. 45) must be used for all through-sawing
operations. The splitter prevents the kerf from closing and
binding the blade, causing kickback. The anti-kickback pawls
(A) Fig. 45 prevent the workpiece and the cut-off piece from
being thrown back at the operator. The plastic guard prevents
dust and debris from being thrown at the operator. To use the
guard properly:
1. Make sure that the splitter is aligned with the blade
as described in the section
Blade guard And Splitter
Assembly And Alignment.
2. Replace or sharpen the anti-kickback pawls when they
become dull.
3. Keep the guard clean for visibility and free motion.
4. Do not use solvent or lubricants on the guard. They
may severely damage the plastic.
5. Use caution when feeding workpieces that may catch
on the guard and cause a bind, or force the guard into
the blade (such as when cutting moulding).

MITER gAUgE OPERATION
The miter gauge is equipped with adjustable index stops
at 90°, 75°, 60°, 45° and 30°.
To rotate the miter gauge, loosen handle (G) Fig. 43, push
the thumb lever (H) down and move the body of the miter
gage (I) to the desired angle.
The miter gauge is equipped with a washer on the end of
the bar which fits into the T-Slot groove (J) Fig. 43 in the
table. This allows the miter gauge to be pulled off the front
edge of the table without falling. This allows for a longer
cut-off capacity in front of the blade.
To adjust the stops, loosen screws — two shown at (X)
Fig. 44. Move stop to proper position and re-tighten
screws (X).
