TROUBLE SHOOTING
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN: SWITCH "OFF" AND ALWAYS REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING.
TROUBLE SHOOTING -- GENERAL
TROUBLE
Excessive vibration.
Cannot make square
Cut when crosscutting.
Cut binds, burns or
stalls motor when
ripping.
Cut not true at 90 °
or 45 ° positions.
Tilt crank and elevating
crank turn hard.
PROBABLE CAUSE
1. Blade out of balance,
1. Miter gauge not adjusted
properly.
1. Dull blade with improper
tooth set,
2. Blade is Heeling•
3. Warped board.
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.
' REMEDY
1. Discard Blade and usea different blade.
1. See "Adjustments" section "Miter Gauge."
1. Sharpen or replace blade.
2. See "Adjustments" section, "Heeling Adjustment,.."
3. Make sure concave or hollow side isfacing
"down," feed slowly.
4. See "Assembly" section, "Aligning Rip Fence"
5. See "Assembly" section, "Installing
Blade Guard,'"
1, See "Adjustments" section, "Blade Tilt, or
"Squareness of Blade to Table."
1. See "Maintenance and Lubrication" section•
2. See "Maintenance" section
"Tilt and Elevation Mechamsm.
TROUBLE SHOOTING -- MOTOR
TROUBLE
Excessive noise.
Motor fails to develop
full power. (Power
output of motor decreases
rapidly with decrease in
voltage at motor terminals.
For example, a reduction
of 10% in voltage causes
a reduction 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.)
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,
I PROBABLE CAUSE
1. Motor.
1. Circuit overloaded with
lights, appliances and
other motors.
2. Undersize wires or circuit
too long.
3. General overloading of
power company
facilities. (In some
sections of the
country, demand for
electrical power may
exceed the capacity
of existing generating
and distribution systems.)
4. Incorrect fusesor circuit
breakers in power line.
REMEDY
1. Have motor checked by qualified service
technician. Repair serviceis available at
your nearest Searsstore.
1. Do not useother appliances or motors on
same circuit when using the saw.
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.
