Motor Specifications and Electrical Requirements (continued)
CAUTION: To avoid motor damage, this motor
should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to
prevent sawdust buildup which will interfere with
normal motor ventilation.
1 Frequent "blow ing" of fuses or tripping of circuit break­
ers m ay result if;
a M otor is overloaded - O verloading can occur if you
feed too rapidly or if saw is m isaligned
b. M otor circuit is fused differently from recom m enda­
tions - Alw ays follow instructions for the proper fuse/
breaker Do not use a fuse/breaker of greater
capacity w ithout consulting a qualified eiectrician
c Low voltage - Although the m otor is designed for
operation on the voltage and frequency specified on
m otor nam eplate, norm al loads will be handled
safely on voltage not m ore than 10% above or below
the nam eplate voltage- Heavy loads, how ever,
require that voltage at m otor term inals equals the
voltage specified on nam eplate.
2 M ost m otor troubles m ay be traced to loose or incor­
rect connections, overloading, reduced input voltage
(such as sm all size w ire in the supply circuit) or to
overly long supply circuit w ire. A lw ays check the con­
nections, the load and the supply circuit w henever
m otor fails to perform satisfactorily. C heck w ire sizes

NOTE;
M ake sure the proper extension cord is used and
is in good condition
The use of any extension cord will cause som e loss o1
pow er. To keep thfs to a m inim um and to prevent over­
heating and m otor burn-out, use the table show n to

U se only 3-w ire extension cords which have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-prong receptacles w hich
