Overload Cutout

The overload cutout interrupts the power
suppy to the saw in the case of
mechanical overload due to, e.g.
excessive infeed force
–
"lugging down" the motor
–
pinching the saw chain in the cut
–
If the overload cutout has cut off the
power supply:
Pull the guide bar out of the cut.
N
If necessary, disengage the chain
N
brake – see "Chain Brake".
Wait for the overload cutout to cool
N
down.

Press the pushbutton (1) – if the
N
motor does not run when you switch
on, the overload cutout has not yet
cooled down sufficiently – wait a
while and then press in the
pushbutton again as far as stop.
When the motor restarts:
Run the motor off-load for about 15
N
seconds. This cools the motor and
helps prevent the overload cutout
tripping again.
