If you want to delete photos off just that device, that device cannot have iCloud photos enabled on that device, If it is enabled the photos will be deleted off iCloud, and any other devices synced with iCloud if you delete a photo.


So in this case, your only option would be to turn off iCloud Photos on this device.
