Using

Your Saw

WARNING!

Never

run the saw in Bypass Mode unless necessary to cut conductive materials.

The

brake system will not activate when the saw is in Bypass Mode

and a serious injury could result.

5. Using the Saw in Bypass Mode:

If you need to cut electrically conductive materials such as aluminum with this saw, you must operate the saw

in Bypass Mode to prevent the brake from activating. In order to operate the saw in Bypass Mode, the safety

system requires you to follow the procedure below to ensure that the saw is never placed in Bypass Mode

accidentally.

Note: the safety system will not allow you to start the saw in Bypass Mode unless the brake cartridge

is properly installed and all error codes are cleared. Therefore it is not possible “override” an error

by starting the saw in Bypass Mode.

To Operate the Saw in Bypass Mode

a. Turn the Bypass Key clockwise and hold it for

at least 1 second (see Fig. 29). Note: to prevent

unauthorized use of the saw in Bypass Mode,

remove the Bypass Key from the saw when not

in use.

b. While still holding the Bypass Key turned, pull

the Start/Stop paddle out to the ON position.

The blade will start to spin and the Bypass

Mode status code will flash on the LEDs.

c. Continue to hold the Bypass Key turned for

at least 1 second after the motor starts. If you

release the Bypass key before 1 second has

elapsed, the motor will stop and the “Switch

Start/Stop Paddle to OFF” error code will be

displayed. If this happens, switch the Start/Stop

paddle to OFF and repeat this procedure from

the beginning.

d. When you have completed your cut, push the Start/Stop paddle in to turn off the motor. The safety system

will remain in Bypass mode until the blade comes to a complete stop. Once the blade has stopped, the

safety system returns to normal Standby mode. The next time you start the motor, the safety system will be

active unless you follow the procedure described above to start the motor in Bypass Mode.

Using Your Saw

CAUTION! Always check the saw blade after cutting conductive materials. Sometimes

a shard of aluminum or other conductive material will become embedded on the end of

a saw blade tooth. If that occurs and the saw is started, then the shard could contact the

aluminum brake pawl when the motor starts and cause the brake to activate.
