OVERLOAD PROTECTION (FIG. U)

This saw has an overload relay button (3) that resets 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. Wait about five minutes for the motor to cool. Push in the reset button (3) and turn the switch to the ON position.

I_, WARNING]

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