OVERLOAD PROTECTION (FIG. V)
This saw has a reset overload relay button (3) that
will restart the motor after it shuts off due to
overloading or low voltage, tf the motor stops during
operation, turn the ON / OFF switch to the OFF
position. Wait for the motor to cool. Push in on the
reset button (3) and turn the switch to the ON position.
To avoid injury, the ON / OFF switch must be in the
OFF position and the plug removed from the power
source while the cool down takes place, to prevent
accidental starting when the reset button is pushed.
Overheating may be caused by misaligned parts or a
dull blade. Inspect your saw for proper setup before
using it again.
USING THE TABLE EXTENSION FENCE (FIG. W)
A. NOTE: Forright ripping a 10"~ 14"wide
workpiece, the right extension fence has to be
installed in the IN-RIPposition (Fig. N). For left
ripping a 11" ~ 16" wide workpiece, the left
extension fence has to also be installed in the IN-
RIP position. Raise the fence to a position that just
clears the table surface and secure in place using
lock handles (1) for IN-RIP position.
B. For right ripping a 14" ~ 24" wide workpiece, the
right extension fence has to be installed in the
OUT-RIP position (Fig. N-1). For left ripping a 16"
~ 24" wide workpiece, the left extension fence has
to be installed in the OUT-RIP position.
1. Adjust the fence to the desired distance from the
blade by reading the rip scale located on the front
tube of the extension fence assembly.
2. Raise the fence so the top is approximately ½"
above the table of the saw and secure in position
by tightening the two lock knobs (1).
NOTE: NEVER USEA RIP FENCE AND THE MITER
GAUGE AT THE SAME TIME. KICKBACK CAN OCCUR.
