Operating Controls

Start/Stop

Power Indicator Light – The start switch has a power indicator lamp which is on whenever there is power connected to the saw, not just when the saw is running. Do not assume that no light means there is no power to the machine. If the bulb is bad, there will no indication. Always check before use.

Do not rely that no light means

 

no power to the machine. Always check for

 

power first. Failure to comply may cause

 

serious injury!

 

Referring to Figure 22:

 

Start – Press the green start switch.

 

When power is connected to the machine, the

 

green light is always on regardless of whether the

 

saw is running or not.

 

Stop – Press the red switch to stop.

Figure 22

Reset – In the event that the saw stops without

 

pressing the stop button, as the result of a tripped

 

fuse or circuit breaker, etc.:

 

1. Press red button to reset

 

2. Press the green button to restart the machine.

 

Safety Key

The start/stop switch on the Model 2000 comes equipped with a magnetic safety key. When in place on the switch as shown in Figure 22, the magnetic safety key trips a relay which will allow the machine to start and stop when the respective switches are pressed. Being magnetic, the lock can be removed to make the machine inoperable and can be hidden for safe storage by attaching it underneath the rail or an other magnetic surface.

When using the saw, place the key on the switch cover lining up the arrow on the key with the REMOVE arrow on the cover. Then rotate the key so the arrow lines up with the LOCK arrow. This will prevent the safety key from coming loose from vibration when the machine is in use.
