Through Sawing
Any cutting operation where the blade extends completely through the thickness of the workpiece.
Workpiece
The item which is being cut. The surfaces of a workpiece are commonly referred to as faces, ends, and edges.
No-Hands Zone
The area between the cutting lines on the left and right sides of the mitre table base. This zone is identified by "no-hands"
labels placed inside the cutting lines on the mitre table base. The operator's hands must stay clear of this area during all
sawing operations.
8. MOTOR SAFETY RULES
CAUTION
In order to avoid motor damage, sawdust should be frequently vacuumed out to keep it from blocking normal motor
ventilation.
1. Connect the motor to a suitable power supply.
2. If the motor does not start, release the trigger switch immediately. UNPLUG THE TOOL. Check that nothing is preventing
the saw blade from turning. If the blade is not blocked, try to start the motor again. If the motor still does not start, refer
to section 26 "Motor Trouble-Shooting".
3. If the motor stalls suddenly while you are cutting wood, release the trigger switch, unplug the tool, and move the work-
piece away from the blade.
Then restart the motor and finish the cut.
4. Fuses may "blow" and circuit breakers may trip frequently if:
a. THE MOTOR IS OVERLOADED-Overloading can occur if you feed in the workpiece too rapidly, or if there are too
many saw accelerations / releases in a short period of time.
b. Voltages within ± 10% of the voltage stated on the dataplate can handle normal loads. For heavy loads, however,
the voltage may be insufficient for the motor to operate (because of too small a wire in the supply circuit or an overly
long supply circuit wire). Always check the connections, the load and the supply circuit whenever the motor does not
run properly.
5. Check wire sizes and lengths on the Wire Size Chart below.
Numerous motor problems are caused by loose or incorrect connections, overload, insufficient voltage (due to small size
wire in the supply circuit) or overly long supply circuit cables. Always check the connections, the load and the supply
circuit whenever the motor doesn't run properly. Check wire sizes and lengths on the Wire Size Chart below.
8.1 Wire sizes
The use of extension cables will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor
damage, use the table below to determine the minimum wire size (lead cross-section) of an extension cable. For circuits that
are more than 40 m away from the electrical service box, the thickness of the wire should be increased proportionately in
order to deliver sufficient voltage to the saw motor.
Length of the Conductor
up to 15 m
15 - 40 m
