The table mount is designed for use on saws equipped with the BIESEMEYER® T-SQUARE® Saw Fence system. The 78-955 and 78-960 are designed for use ONLY on Delta 10” Unisaws, 10” Tilting Arbor Saws and 10” Contractors Saws equipped with the BIESEMEYER® 30” or 50” capacity T-SQUARE® fence system respectively. OSHA regulations and ANSI standards require that a splitter and anti-kickback device be utilized for through cutting operations. The 78-955 and 78-960 comply with these regulations. SAFETY RULES 1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE BLADE GUARD SYSTEM. Learn its application and limitations as well as the specific hazards peculiar to it. 2. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. 3. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES that comply with ANSI 287.1. Everyday glasses only have impact resistant lense; they are not safety glasses. Also use face sheild or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. 4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents 5. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area. 6. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of accessories and attachments not recommended by Delta may cause hazards or risks of injury to person. 7. TO PREVENT injury from kickback or blade contact, use blade guard and splitter whenever the cutting operation permits. 8. ALWAYS use a push stick when cutting narrow stock. 9. ALWAYS stay alert and keep hands out of path of saw blade. 10. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. DO NOT operate blade guard while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication. 11. WARNING: The dust generated by certain woods and wood products can be injurious to your health. ALWAYS operate machinery in a well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use wood dust collection systems whenever possible. 12. ALWAYS use blade guard, splitter and anti-kickback fingers for every operation for which it can be used, including all thru-sawing. Thru-sawing operations are those when the blade cuts completely through the workpiece as in ripping or cross-cutting. 13. AVOID awkward operations and hand postions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the cutting tool. 14. AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back towards you) by: A. Keeping blade sharp B. Keeping rip fence parallel to saw blade C. Keeping splitter and anti-kickback fingers and guard in place and operating. D. Not releasing the work before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade. E. Not ripping work that is twisted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence. 15. PROVIDE adequete support to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces. 16. NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the saw “OFF.” 17. ALWAYS STOP the saw blade before removing scrap pieces. 18. NEVER perform layout, assembly or set-up work on the table while the saw is running. 19. DISCONNECT saw from power source before changing blades or servicing. 20. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Only a soft damp cloth should be used to clean plastic parts. 21. SHOULD any part of your blade guard be missing, damaged, or fail in any way, replace missing, damaged or failed parts before resuming operation. 22. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
