Troubleshooting
Problem
The blade slows down during cut, but
does not stop.
The blade hits the brake pawl during
installation.
The gears sound/feel rough when
raising or lowering the blade.
There is play in the tilt control so that
the tilt hand wheel can be turned at
/
least revolution without changing

the tilt angle of the blade.
The saw does not make accurate 45°
or 90° cuts.
Possible Cause(s)
1. One of the belts is not properly
tensioned.
2. The blade is binding on the wood.
3. The voltage supplied to the motor is
incorrect.
1. The brake position is adjusted too
close to the blade.
2. The blade is the wrong size.
1. There is dust or debris on the miter
gears or elevation shaft.
2. The lock nut below the vertical miter
gear is too loose or too tight.
3. The elevation locking knob has not
been released.
1. The worm gear is not engaged fully
on the front trunnion sector gear.
1. The tilt limit stops are not adjusted
properly.
2. The tilt angle indicator is not
adjusted properly.
3. The miter gauge is not adjusted
properly.
4. The miter gauge slots are not
aligned with the blade.
Solution
1. Check the tension of the motor belt
and arbor belt. If the motor belt is
too loose, adjust the position of the
motor to provide the correct tension
on the motor belt. If the arbor belt is
too loose, replace it with a new belt.
2. Ensure the spreader or riving knife
is aligned with the blade. If using the
rip fence, ensure it is aligned parallel
to the blade.
3. Ensure the power to the terminal box
is the correct voltage and phase.
Also ensure the wiring to the saw
is the correct gauge for the peak
current draw specified for the motor.
1. Turn the brake positioning bolt
counter-clockwise until the closest
point between the brake pawl and
/
the blade is about
1
inch.
2. Use only a 10 inch diameter blade
with a standard brake cartridge,
or an 8 inch dado set with a dado
cartridge.
1. Clean components and regrease.
2. Tighten or loosen the lock nut as
necessary.
3. Turn the elevation locking knob
counter-clockwise to release the
elevation hand wheel.
1. Adjust the position of the tilt control
shaft as necessary to ensure the
worm gear engages fully with the
front trunnion sector gear.
1. Adjust the tilt limit stops.
2. Adjust the tilt angle indicator.
3. Adjust the miter gauge.
4. Align the miter gauge slots to the
blade.
