OUTLET BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING.
TROUBLE SHOOTING -- GENERAL
TROUBLE PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY
Discard Blade and usea different blade.
See "Adjustments" section "Miter Gauge.'"
Sharpen or replace blade.
Excessive vibration.
Cannot make square
Cut when crosscutting.
Cut binds, burns or
stalls motor when
ripping.
1. Blade out of balance.
1. Miter gauge not adjusted
properly,
1. Dul! blade with improper
tooth set.
2, Blade is Heeling.
3. Warped board,
See "Adjustments" section, "Heeling Adjustment..."
Make sure concave or hollow side isfacing
"down," feed slowly.
See "Assembly" section, "Aligning Rip Fence"
4. Rip fence not parallel
to blade.
5. Spreader out of
alignment
1, Stop collars not properly
adjusted,
1, Sawdust on threads of tilt
screw or elevating screw.
2. Bearing retainers
to tight.

TROUBLE SHOOTING -- MOTOR
NOTE: Motors used on wood-working tools are particularly
susceptible to the accumulation of sawdust and wood chips
and should be blown out or *'vacuumed" frequently to
prevent interference with normal motor ventilation.
NOTE: The starting relay is a GRAVITY SENSITIVE
TYPE. NEVER TURN THE POWER ON WHILE THE SAW
IS UPSIDE DOWN AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE
MOTOR.
TROUBLE PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY
Excessivenoise. 1. Motor. 1. Have motor checked by qualified service
technician, Repair se_ice is available at
your nearest Sears store.
1, Do not use other appliances or motors on
same circuit when using the saw,
Motor fails to develop
full power. (Power
output of motor decreases
rapidly with decreasein
voltage at motor terminals.
For example, a reduction
of 10% in voltage causes
areduction of 19% in
maximum power output
of which the motor is
capable, while a reduction
of 20% in voltage causes
a reduction of 36% in
maximum power output,)
1. Circuit overloaded with
lights, appliances and
other motors.
2. Undersize wires or circuit
too tong.
3, General overloading of
power company
facilities, fin some
sections of the
country, demand for
electrical power may
exceed the capacity
of existing generating
and distribution systems.)
4. Incorrect fuses or circuit
breakers in power line.
2. Increase wire sizes, or reduce length of wiring,
See "Motor Specification and Electrical
Requirements" section
3. Request a voltage check from the power company.
4. Install correct fuses or circuit breakers.
