The red status light will blink slowly for a moment
while the safety system initializes. When the safety
system is ready, the red status light will turn off and
the green status light (B) will turn on, and display
steadily (
).
When the initialization process is complete, you can
pull the Start/Stop paddle (C) to spin the blade.
Make sure the workpiece is not touching the
blade when starting the motor.
How to Restart after Stalling
Be aware that if the blade stops, for example, as due
to binding or tough material, you will need to cycle the
Start/Stop paddle. Depending on the circumstances, it
may also be necessary to cycle the power switch.
How to Stop the Saw
1. Press the Start/Stop paddle to cut off power to the
motor. Notice also that the paddle is designed to be
easy to see and strike in an emergency situation.
2. Turn off the power switch to fully turn off power to
the saw.
Always remember to unplug the saw also when
performing any maintenance to the saw.
Always unplug the saw when performing
maintenance on the saw.
Bypass Mode
Use Bypass Mode when 1) you’re not sure if a material
is conductive and you need to test for conductivity or
2) you need to cut a conductive material.
Bypass Mode operates as the name suggests: when
on, Bypass Mode prevents the brake cartridge from
activating if the spinning blade contacts a conductive
material.
THERE IS NO PROTECTION IN BYPASS MODE; the
brake will not activate if you touch the spinning
blade. Use Bypass Mode only to test a material
for conductivity and to cut conductive materials.
Use extra caution in Bypass Mode.
Conductive Materials
The following lists some examples of conductive
materials:
•
Green or very wet wood
•
Wet pressure-treated wood
•
Very wet plywood or OSB
•
Aluminum and other metals
•
Carbon-filled materials
•
Foil
•
Mirrors
How to Start in Bypass Mode
You’ll need both hands free to activate Bypass Mode.
1. Turn on the power switch (A).
Wait for the solid green status light (B) to display
alone.
2. Turn the Bypass Mode switch (C) clockwise all the
way to the stop and hold in that position.
The red status light (D) should flash once.
Do not release the switch - continue to hold.
