Manual Reset Button - Craftsman 113.197110 Operator's Manual

MODEL 113.197150 ONLY
Motor
To avoid motor damage this motor should be
blown out or vacuumed frequently to prevent
sawdust buildup which will interfere with nor-
mal motor ventilation.
Your saw is equipped with a manual reset but-
ton designed to open the power line circuit
when the motor temperature exceeds a safe
level, motor is overloaded, or a low voltage
condition exists. (Figure 134)
__ Manual Reset Button
The motor may take as long to cool as R d!d
for the heat to build up. An audibl_rdi_ '
when you push the red button will indicate..
that the protector is dosed (reset) and the
saw is ready for use.
3. As soon as the red button will dick into
running position, the saw may be started and
operated normally.
4. Frequent blowing of fuses or tripping of cir-
cuit breakers may result if:
• Motor is overloaded: Overloading can
occur if you feed too rapidly or if saw is
misaligned so that the blade heels.
• Motor circuit is fused differently from
recommendations: Always follow in-
structions for the proper fuse/breaker.
Do not use a fuse/breaker of greater
capacity without consulting a qualified
electrician.

1. If the protector opens the line and stops
the saw motor, immediately turn the saw
switch off, remove the yellow key, and allow
the motor to cool.
2. After cooling to a safe operating tempera-
ture, the overload protector can be closed
manually by pushing the red button on the
top of the motor. If the red button will not
click into place immediately, the motor is still
too hot and must be allowed to cool for a
while longer.
.Low voltage: Although the motor is
designed for operation on the voltage
and frequency specified on the
nameplate, normal loads will be hand-
led safely on voltages not more than
10% above or below the nameplate
voltage. Heavy loads, however, require
that voltage at motor terminals equal
the voltage specified on nameplate.
• Improper extension cord size.
