Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause(s) Solution
The motor will not start and both
LEDs on the switch box are off.
1. There is no power to the saw. 1. Ensure that the electrical supply to the
saw is on and that the correct voltage
is being supplied.
2. There is no brake cartridge installed
in the saw.
2. Install the brake cartridge.
3. The brake cartridge is defective. 3. Replace the brake cartridge with a new
cartridge.
The motor will not start and at least
one LED on the switch box is on.
1. The safety system has detected a
system error and is displaying an
error code on the LEDs.
1. Consult the list of System Status
Codes to determine the cause of the
error and the corrective action.
2. The cartridge is defective. 2. Try a different brake cartridge.
3. The thermal overload switch cut
power to the motor to prevent
overheating.
3. Press the thermal overload reset
button on the contactor box behind the
left side of the switch box.
The motor starts slowly and/or fails
to reach nominal speed.
1. The electrical supply voltage is too
low.
1. Ensure that the correct voltage is being
supplied to the saw.
2. The belts are worn or slipping. 2. Adjust the tension in the belts or
replace if worn.
The motor stopped unexpectedly
during use but the brake did not
activate.
1. The Start/Stop paddle was bumped. 1. Ensure the Start/Stop paddle is in the
OFF position and restart the saw.
2. The material being cut is
overloading the safety detection
system (e.g., green or wet wood).

and arbor belt. If the motor belt is too
loose, adjust the position of the motor
to provide the correct tension on the
motor belt. If the arbor belt is too loose,
replace it with a new belt. Replace any
worn or damaged belts.
2. The blade is binding on the wood. 2. Ensure the spreader or riving knife is
aligned with the blade. If using the rip
fence, ensure it is aligned parallel to
the blade
3. The blade is installed backwards. 3. Remove the blade and reinstall in the
correct orientation.
4. The voltage supplied to the motor is
incorrect.
4. Ensure the motor is wired to match
the power that is being supplied. If
using an extension cord, ensure the
extension cord is the correct gauge.
