CAUTION: To reduce the risk of motor damage, this motor should be blown out or vacu- umed frequently to prevent saw- dust buildup which will interfere with normal motor ventilation.

1.Frequent “blowing” of fuses or tripping of circuit breakers may result if:

a.Motor is overloaded - Overloading can occur if you feed too rapidly or if saw blade is dull or misaligned.

b.Motor circuit is fused differently from recommendations - Always follow instructions for the proper fuse/ breaker. Do not use a fuse/breaker of greater capacity without consulting a qualified electrician.

c.Low voltage - Although the motor is designed for operation on the voltage

and frequency specified on motor nameplate, normal loads will be han- dled safely on voltage not more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage. Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor termi- nals equals the voltage specified on nameplate.

2.Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect connections, overload- ing, reduced input voltage (such as small size wire in the supply circuit or extension cord) or to overly long supply circuit wire or extension cord. Always check the connections, the load and the supply circuit whenever motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire sizes and length with the Wire Size Chart below.

Thermal Overload Protector

This saw is equipped with a thermal over- load device which will automatically “trip” and cause the saw to shut down if the motor is overheating due to continuous heavy cutting or stalling.

The overload device can only be reset manually by the user after the motor has been allowed to adequately cool. Allow 15-30 minutes.

Should the overload protector “trip”:

1.Turn switch off and remove key.

2.Remove workpiece.

3.Wait 15-30 minutes.

4.Push in on the reset button.

5.If motor has cooled, button will remain in.

Wire Sizes

NOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord is used and is in good condition. The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a min- imum and to prevent overheating and motor burn-out, use the table shown 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-prong receptacles which accept the tool’s plug.
