If the blade is free, try to start the saw again.
If the motor still does not start, refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING
GUIDE.
3. If the tool suddenly stalls while cutting,
release the trigger switch and unplug the
tool. Free the blade from the workpiece.
Restart the machine and complete the cut.
4. FUSES may "blow" or circuit breakers
may trip if:
a. MOTOR is overloaded - overloading can
occur if you feed too rapidly or make too
many start / stops in a short time.
b. LINE VOLTAGE is more than 10% above
or below the nameplate voltage rating.
For heavy loads, the voltage at the motor
terminals must equal the voltage specified on
the nameplate.
c. IMPROPER or dull saw blades are used.
5. Most motor troubles can be traced to
loose or incorrect connections, overload, low
voltage or inadequate power supply wiring.
Always check the connections, the load and
the supply circuit if the motor does not run
welt. Check minimum gauge for the length of
cord you are using on the chart below.
GUIDELINES
FOR EXTENSION
CORDS
Use a proper extension cord.
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one that is heavy enough
to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord wilt cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in loss of power
and overheating.
The table below shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating.
If in doubt use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly
wired and in good condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired
by a qualified person before using it. Protect
your extension cord from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for
your tools. Plug the saw into a120V, 15A
electrical outlet.
NOTE: When using an extension cord on a
circuit with a # 18 wire, the extension cord must
not exceed 25 feet in length. Before connecting
the tool to the power line, make sure the switch
is in the OFF position and the electric current is
rated the same as the current stamped on the
motor nameplate, as running at a lower voltage
will damage the motor.
