3. Position proximity sensor with
4. Test all legs for power; replace if at fault.
1. Switch any two of three incoming power supply wires
on plug or hardwire connection.
1. Reduce feed rate (Page 36); increase blade speed
(Page 32).
2. Use correct, sharp blade; reduce feed rate (Page 36);
use applicable coolant/lubricant.
3. Use correct blade for operation (Page 26).
4. Only cut correct material for saw blade/type.
5. Adjust blade tracking (Page 54), tension (Page 30).
6. Tension/replace belt (Page 49); replace pulley/shaft.
7. Replace blade (Page 28). Ensure teeth face cutting
direction.
8. Clean main motor, let cool, reduce workload.
9. Test all legs for power; repair/replace if at fault.
10. Test/repair/replace.
1. Re-tighten component; inspect/replace damaged bolts/
nuts.
2. Replace blade (Page 28).
3. Inspect/tension/replace belt (Page 49).
4. Fix/replace fan cover; replace loose/damaged fan.
5. Re-align/replace shaft, pulley, set screw, and key.
