Troubleshooting
Blade seems to be cutting slowly or not cutting at all?
Suggestions:
Make sure the blade is mounted to spin in the proper
direction (align arrow on blade with arrow on face guard).
The material being cut may have “loaded” or “glazed” the diamond.
Use a dressing stone or “green stone” to free the diamond. Alternate
techniques are available on our website.
Blade binds or “freezes.”
Suggestions:
The blade may be cutting at a slight angle. Check
alignment. Make sure that the saw is rolling freely on the rails and the
rails are not damaged or bent. Make sure that the motor is securely
fastened to the mounting plate.
Saw shuts off after a few minutes of use and/or fails to turn
on at all.
Suggestions:
Check circuit breaker. If that is on and it still fails to
start, the motor may have overheated. Allow time to cool, but verify that
the power switch is turned to the off position. Then push in the Heat
Overload button to reset the protection. You will then hear a dry click
sound from the button when pressed and the motor has cooled down
enough to restart.
Height adjusting hand wheel is difficult to turn.
Suggestions:
Loosen the jamb knob on the right side of the height
adjustment post. Spray a PTFE (Teflon®) or graphite-based spray on
slide areas. DO NOT APPLY GREASE as this will reduce the life of the
assembly dramatically.
