a. Motor Is Overloaded-Overloading
can occur if you feed too rapidly or
make too many start/stops in a short
time.
b. Line voltages should not be more
than 10% above or below the name-
plate voltage. For heavy loads, how-
ever, the voltage at motor terminals
must equal the voltage specified for
your model.
c. Improper or dull saw blade is used.
5. Most motor troubles may be traced to
loose or incorrect connections, over-
load, low voltage (such as small size
wire in the supply circuit) or to overly
long supply circuit wire. Always check
the connections, the load and the sup-
ply circuit whenever motor doesn't
work well. Check wire sizes and length
with the Wire Size Chart.
Wire Sizes
NOTE: Make sure the proper extension
cord is used and is in good condition.
The use of any extension cord will cause
some loss of power. To keep this to a min-
imum and to prevent overheating and
motor burnout, use the table shown to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
Use only 3-wire extension cords which
have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-
pole receptacles which accept the tools
plug.
