Problem Possible Cause(s) Solution
The blade slows down during cut, but
does not stop.
1. One of the belts is not properly
tensioned.
1. Check the tension of the motor belt
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.
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 voltage supplied to the motor is
incorrect.
3. Ensure the power to the terminal box
is the correct voltage and phase.
Also ensure the wiring to the saw
is the correct gauge for the peak
current draw specified for the motor.
The blade hits the brake pawl during
installation.
1. The brake position is adjusted too
close to the blade.
1. Turn the brake positioning bolt
counter-clockwise until the closest
point between the brake pawl and
the blade is about 1/16” to 1/8”.
2. The blade is the wrong size. 2. Use only a 10” diameter blade with
a standard brake cartridge, or an 8”
dado set with a dado cartridge.
The gears sound/feel rough when
raising or lowering the blade.
1. There is dust or debris on the miter
gears or elevation shaft.
1. Clean components and regrease.
2. The lock nut below the vertical miter
gear is too loose or too tight.
2. Tighten or loosen the lock nut as
necessary.
3. The elevation locking knob has not
been released.
3. Turn the elevation locking knob
counter-clockwise to release the
elevation hand wheel.
There is play in the tilt control so that
the tilt hand wheel can be turned at
least 1/8 revolution without changing
the tilt angle of the blade.
1. The worm gear is not engaged fully
on the front trunnion sector gear.
1. Adjust the position of the tilt control
shaft as necessary to ensure the
worm gear engages fully with the
front trunnion sector gear.
The saw does not make accurate 45°
or 90° cuts.
1. The tilt limit stops are not adjusted
properly.
1. Adjust the tilt limit stops.
2. The tilt angle indicator is not
adjusted properly.
2. Adjust the tilt angle indicator.
3. The miter gauge is not adjusted
properly.
3. Adjust the miter gauge.
4. The miter gauge slots are not
aligned with the blade.
4. Align the miter gauge slots to the
blade.
The material binds when making a rip
cut.
1. The rip fence is not aligned with the
blade.
1. Align the fence to the blade.
2. The material is warped. 2. Select another piece of material.
3. The feed rate is too high. 3. Try again at a lower feed rate.
4. The spreader or riving knife is not
aligned with the blade.
4. Align the spreader or riving knife.
