ALWAYS turn saw o and unplug from power source before making adjustments or performing maintenance.
Specific areas which require regular maintenance include:
RIVING KNIFE CLAMP PLATE: KEEP this area free of dust and debris buildup. Blow out area regularly with compressed air.
NOTE: If the riving knife clamp can’t move freely, have the saw serviced by authorized DELTA
®
service center personnel.
BEVEL GEARS: KEEP the bevel gears free of dust and debris buildup. Blow out area regularly with compressed air. Use a lithium-
based multipurpose grease as needed on these gears.
CLEAN SAWDUST BUILDUP OUT OF CABINET PERIODICALLY: NOTE: Debris can also be removed from the saw from below the
throat plate, inside the dust port.
For best performance use a shop vacuum or blower to KEEP saw blade area, the dust collection system, the guarding system and rails
