FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

FOREWORD

Delta Model 36-422L is a high capacity 12" dual bevel compound miter saw equipped with a laser guide and designed 
to cut wood and non-ferrous metals. This machine is supplied with design features that increase the cutting capacity. 
Also, this model includes built in stops for cutting crown molding. This machine can cut 6" baseboard moulding mounted 
vertically, crosscut 2" x 10" dimensional lumber at 90 degrees, miter 2" x 6" dimensional lumber at 45° both left and right, 
and bevel 2" x 10" dimensional lumber left and right at 45°. It has positive miter stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.62, and 45° 
both left and right, and bevel stops at 0°, 33.9°, and 45° left. 

Carefully unpack the machine and all loose items from the shipping container(s). Remove the protective coating from  all 
unpainted surfaces. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline 
or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the unpainted surfaces with a good quality household floor paste 
wax.  Place the machine on a firm, level surface with proper support of the workpiece. To release the head and move 
it to the operating position, see

 “MOVING CUTTINGHEAD TO THE UP POSITION”

 and

 “MOVING TABLE TO THE 0° 

CUT-OFF POSITION”
