OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The magnetic safety switch on this saw is equipped with an overload protection feature. To prevent an electrical
overload from damaging the motor, in the event of a spike in line voltage or amperage draw, the internal overload
protector will automatically be tripped, thereby cutting off power to the motor.
Note: The most common causes of such overloads are:
1. Overworking the motor by attempting to feed thick dense workpiece material too quickly, thereby causing an
increase in power consumption and a spike in amperage draw.
2. An electrical extension cord that is too long or not the correct gauge of wire, which can also cause an increase
in amperage draw.
If
the electrical requirements section at the beginning of this manual.
3. Overworked circuit caused by operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. Make sure the
circuit being used is capable of handling the amperage draw from this machine as well as any other electrical
devices operating on the same circuit.
To reset the overload protection switch after it has been
tripped proceed as
follows:
1. Set the power switch on the saw to the off position
and disconnect the machine from the power source.
Note:
the saw is permanently connected to a circuit
If
(hard-wired), set the wall panel circuit breaker or main
circuit interrupter to the off position.
2. Unscrew the 2 screws and remove the control box
front cover.
3. Reinstall the control box cover.
4. Reconnect the saw to the power source.
5.
You can now resume cutting operations.
To avoid Unexpected or Unintentional start up, make sure the
Power switch on the saw is in the "OFF" position before
