Motor - Craftsman 113.198111 Operator's Manual

Motor
To axoid motor damage this motor should be
blown out or vacuumed frequently to prevent
sawdust buildup which will interfere with
normal motor ventilation.
Frequently blowing of fuses or tripping of
circuit breakers may result if:
• Motor is overloaded: Overloading can oc-
cur if you feed too rapidly or if saw is mis-
aligned so that the blade heels.
If the motor fails to start, turn the power
switch to the "OFF" position immediately.
Remove the yellow key. UNPLUG THE
TOOL. Check the saw blade to insure that it
turns freely and that its teeth are not wedged
into the table top. After the blade has been
freed, try to start the motor again. If, at this
point, the motor still fails to start, refer to the
"Motor Trouble-Shooting Chart."
• Motor circuit is fused differently from rec-
ommendations: Always follow instructions
for the proper fuse/breaker. Do not use a
fuse/breaker of greater capacity without
consulting a qualified electrician.
Low voltage: Although the motor is de-
signed for operation on the voltage and fre-
quency specified on the nameplate, normal
loads will be handled safely on voltages not
more than 10% above or below the name-
plate voltage. Heavy loads, however, re-
quire that voltage at motor terminals equal
the voltage specified on nameplate.
• Improper extension cord size.
If the motor should suddenly stall while cut-
ting wood, the power switch should be turned
off, remove the yellow key and unplug the
power cord. Free the blade from the wood.
The motor may now be restarted and the cut
finished.
