slow speed.
3) Vibrating workpiece.
1) Use finer tooth blade.
2) Decrease pressure, increase speed
3) Clamp work piece securely
4) Use coarser tooth blade or brush to
remove chips.
Motor running too hot
1) Blade tension too high.
2) Drive belt tension too high.
3) Blade is too coarse for work
4) Blade is too fine for work
5) Gears aligned improperly
6) Gears need lubrication
7) Cut is binding blade
1) Reduce tension on blade.
2) Reduce tension on drive belt.
3) Use finer blade.
4) Use coarse blade.
5) Adjust gears so that worm is in center
of gear.
6) Check oil path.
Decrease reed anti speed
Bad Cuts (Crooked)
