MOTOR
SAFETY
PROTECTION
NOTE:
This motor
should
be blown
out, or "vacuumed",
frequently
to prevent
sawdust
interference
with
normal
motor
ventilation.
Your
saw
motor
is
equipped
with
a
manual-reset,
thermal-overload
protector
designed
to
open
the
power-line
circuit
when
the motor
temperature
exceeds
a
safe
value.
OVERLOAD
PROTECTOR
\\
1. If the protector
opens
the li ne and stops the saw motor,
immediately
press
the
saw
switch
to
the
"'OFF'"
position,
and allow
the motor
to cool.
2. After
cooling
to a safe
operating
temperature,
the
overload
protector
can be closed
manually
by pushing
in the red button
on the top of the motor.
If the red
button
will not snap into place immediately,
the motor
is still too hot and must
be allowed
to cool for a while
longer.
In some
cases
this may take
20-30
minutes.
(An audible
click
will
indicate
protector
is closed.)
3. As
soon
as
the
red
button
will
snap
into
running
position,
the
saw
may
be
started
and
operated
normally,
by pulling
out the saw
switch
to the "'ON"
position.
4. Frequent
opening
of fuses
or circuit
breakers
may
result
if motor
is overloaded,
or if the motor
circuit
is
fused
differently
from
recommendations.
Overloading
can
occur
if you
feed
too
rapidly
or if your
saw
is
misaligned
so that the blade
heels. Do#ot
use a fuse of
greater
capacity
without
consulting
a
qualified
electrician.
5. Although
the motor
is designed
for operation
on the
voltage
and frequency
specified
on motor
nameplate,
normal
loads
will
be handled
safely
on voltages
not
more than
10% above or below
the nameplate
voltage.
Heavy
loads, however,
require
that
voltage
at motor
terminals
equals
the voltage
specified
on nameplate.
6. Most
motor troubles
may be traced
to loose or incorrect
connections,
overloading,
reduced
input
voltage
(such
as
small
size
wires
in
the
supply
circuit)
or to an
overly-long
supply
circuit.
Always
check
the
connections,
the load and the supplycircuit,
whenever
the
motor
fails
to perform
satisfactorily.
Check
wire
sizes and lengths
with
the table
following.
WIRE
SIZES
The
use of any
extension
cord
will
cause
some
loss
of
power.
To
keep
this
to
a
minimum
and
to
prevent
over-heating
and motor
burn-out,
use the table
below
to
determine
the minimum
wire size (A.W.G.)extension
cord.
Use
only
3 wire
extension
cords
which
have
3 prong
grounding
type plugs and 3-pole
receptacles
which
accept
the tools plug.
NOTE:
For circuits
of greater
length,
the wire
size must
be
increased
proportionately
in order
to deliver
ample
voltage
to the saw
motor.
