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.
OPERATIONAL CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS
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.
