Controls/Settings - Elektra Beckum PK 300 K Operating Instructions Manual

4.1 Switch/Overload Protection
The switch is equipped with a no-volt release solenoid (magnetic switch), to
prevent start-up after a power failure. If the saw is not connected to the power
mains the switch does not engage. In the event of a power failure the machine
has to be restarted. In case of an overload of the main motor the build-in motor
protection relay trips and cuts the power to the motor. If the motor is shut off
repeatedly by the overload relay, check machine (motor brake action, dull blade,
low voltage etc.). A cooling down period of 30 min. is recommended.
A light humming from the solenoid inside the switch is normal and does not
indicate a fault.
- Block rotary switch knob with a padlock to prevent unauthorized use.
