BASIC SAW OPERATIONS
RAISING THE BLADE (FIG. V)
To raise or lower the blade, turn the blade elevation
handwheel (1) to the desired blade height, and then
tighten lock handle (2) to maintain the desired blade
angle.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION (FIG. W)
This saw has a reset overload relay button (3) that will
restart the motor after it shuts off due to overloading or
low voltage. If the motor stops during operation, turn the
ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. Unplug the saw from
its power source. Wait about five minutes for the motor to
cool down. Push in on the reset button (3) and turn the
switch to the ON position.
To avoid injury, the ON/OFF switch should be in the OFF
position and the plug removed from the power source while
the motor cool down takes place, to prevent accidental
starting when the reset button is pushed. Overheating may
be caused by misaligned parts or dull blade. Inspect your saw
for proper setup before using it again.
