STARTING AND STOPPING SAW
1.The on/off switch is located underneath the switch shield (A) Fig. 41. To turn the saw “ON”, move switch trigger (B) to the up position.
2.To turn the saw “OFF”, push down on switch shield (A) Fig. 42.
LOCKING SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION
IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized use, using a padlock (C) Fig. 43 with a 3/16" diameter shackle (D).
IN THE EVENT OF A POWER OUTAGE, ALWAYS LOCK SWITCH IN “OFF” POSITION UNTIL THE MAIN POWER IS RESTORED.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The motor recommended for use with your saw is equipped with a resetable overload relay (A) Fig. 43A. If the motor shuts off or fails to start due to overloading (cutting stock too fast, using a dull blade, using the saw beyond its capacity, etc.), or low voltage, turn the switch to the “OFF” position, let the motor cool three to five minutes and push the reset button (A), which will reset the overload device.The motor can then be turned on again in the usual manner.
