Operating Controls
On/Off Switch – The on/off switch is located on the front panel of the saw base (C, Fig. 26). To turn the saw on move the switch to the up position (F, Fig. 27). To turn the switch off move the switch to the down position.
Locking Key – When the saw is not in use, the switch should be locked in the off position. To lock the switch in the off position, pull out the safety key (G, Fig. 27). The saw will not start with the key removed. However, if the key is removed while the switch is in the on position, it can be turned off once. The saw will not restart until the key has been reinserted into the switch.
Overload Protection – This saw is equipped with a resetable overload relay button (D, Fig. 26). If the motor shuts off or fails to start due to overloading or low voltage, turn the switch (C, Fig. 26) to the off position and let the motor cool down for at least five minutes. After the motor has cooled down, push the reset button (D, Fig. 26) to reset the overload device. The saw should now start when the switch is returned to the on position.
Blade Height/Tilt Handwheel – The handwheel located on the front of the saw (A, Fig. 26) sets the blade height and tilt.
