GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery,
there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution
will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored, personal injury to the operator may result. Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs,
featherboards, goggles, dust masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best
guard won’t make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise
caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it. Figure out an alternative procedure that feels
safer. REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.
This machine was designed for certain applications only. Delta Machinery strongly recommends that this machine
not be modified and/or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you have any ques-
tions relative to a particular application, DO NOT use the machine until you have first contacted Delta to deter-
mine if it can or should be performed on the product.
