W1761/W1762 12" Table Saw with Riving Knife
SET UP
Test Run
Once the assembly is complete, test run the machine to make sure it runs properly for regular operations.
The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2) the safety dis- abling mechanism on the switch works correctly, and 3) to check for unusual noises or vibration.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page 45.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech Support at (360)
To test run the machine, do these steps:
1.Read this manual and make sure you read and under- stand the SAFETY SECTION on Page 6.
2.Review electrical requirements on Page 13, and make any necessary changes.
3.Make sure the blade guard and splitter (or riving knife) are installed and correctly adjusted.
4.Remove all tools and foreign objects from the machine.
5.Connect the table saw to the power source.
6.Put on safety glasses and hearing protection, and make sure any bystanders are wearing safety glasses, hearing protection, and are out of the way.
7.Make sure the safety pin is not installed.
8.Keep a finger on the STOP paddle (Figure 32) at all times during the test run.
9. Verify that the machine is operating correctly by pressing the ON button.
—If any problems occur, immediately press the STOP paddle and DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE and refer to Page 45 to trouble- shoot/fix any problems before starting the table saw again.
Projectiles thrown from the machine could cause serious eye injury. Wear safety glasses during assembly and operation.
—If the source of an unusual noise or vibration is not readily apparent, contact our technical support for help.
10.Lift the paddle switch and insert the safety pin through the ON button.
11.Press the ON button.
—If the saw does not start, the safety disabling feature is working cor- rectly.
—If the saw starts, immediately press the OFF button and DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE. The safety disabling feature is not working correctly. Please contact our Technical Support for help.
12.Model W1762 only. Verify that the power is not connected out of phase by starting/stopping the table saw and determining if the motor turns in the correct direction, using the criteria below:
—If the blade turns clockwise (as standing in front of the table saw), it is turning in the correct direction.
—If the blade turns counterclockwise, toward the back of the saw, it is turning in the wrong direction. Stop the table saw, shut OFF the power source, swap any two of the three power wires that connect to the saw, and verify that the arbor nut is secure. The saw is now ready to operate.
