MOTOR THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
See Figure 5.
Your table saw comes equipped with a
NOTE: This motor should be blown out or vacuumed fre- quently to prevent sawdust buildup which can interfere with normal motor ventilation.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury from thrown objects or blade contact from unexpected starting, immediately turn off the table saw if the protector stops the table saw motor. Remove the switch key and allow the motor time to cool.
Once the motor is cooled to a safe operating temperature, reset the thermal overload protector by pushing the red button on the front of the junction box. An audible click will indicate the thermal overload protector is reset. Once the button is reset, the table saw may be started and operated as normal.
NOTE: If the red button won't click into place immediately, the motor is still too hot and must be allowed to cool.
Frequent “blowing” of fuses or tripping of circuit breakers may result if:
Motor is overloaded. Overloading can occur if a workpiece is fed too rapidly or if the table saw is misaligned.
Motor circuit is fused differently from recommendations. Always follow instructions for the proper fuse/breaker. Do not use a fuse/breaker of greater capacity without consulting a qualified electrician.
Low voltage. Although the motor is designed for operation on the voltage and frequency specified on the motor, normal loads will be handled safely on voltage no more than ten percent above or below that figure. Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor terminals equal the voltage specified on the motor.
NOTE: Always check the connections, the load and the supply circuit whenever the motor fails to perform satisfactorily.
