OVERLOAD PROTECTION (FIG. W)

This saw has a reset overload relay button (3) that will restart the motor after it shuts off due to overloading or low voltage. If the motor stops during operation, turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. Unplug the saw from its power source. Wait about five minutes for the motor to cool down. Push in on the reset button (3) and turn the switch to the ON position.

To avoid injury, the ON/OFF switch should be in the OFF position and the plug removed from the power source while the motor cool down takes place, to prevent accidental starting when the reset button is pushed. Overheating may be caused by misaligned parts or dull blade. Inspect your saw for proper setup before using it again.
