MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
Your saw is equipped with a manual-reset, motor-overload
protector. The overload protector is designed to stop the
current to the saw when the motor current exceeds a safe
level, when the motor is overloaded, or when a low-voltage
condition exists.
WARNING:
If the motor-overload protector stops the saw motor,
immediately turn the saw switch to “OFF” and then allow
the motor to cool. This will reduce the risk of the saw
starting unexpectedly and causing harm or injury.
When the motor-overload protector stops the motor:
1. After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the over-
load protector can be reset by pressing the overload-
protector switch on the side of the motor. (See Fig. 3)
. As soon as the overload-protector switch is reset, the
saw may be started and operated normally.
3. Frequent “tripping” of the overload protector may occur
under the following conditions:
— Motor is overloaded: Overloading can occur if you
feed the material to be cut too rapidly, or if saw blade
is misaligned.
— Low voltage: The saw motor is designed to operate
on the voltage specified on the motor nameplate.
Normal loads will be safely handled on voltages not
more than 10% above or below the nameplate volt-
age. Heavy loads, however, require that the voltage
at the motor terminals equals the voltage specified
on nameplate.
4. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect
connections, overloading, reduced input voltage (such
as small-size wire in the supply circuit), or to an overly
long supply-circuit wire. Always check the connections,
the load, and the supply circuit whenever the motor fails
to perform satisfactorily.

NOTE:
Use proper extension cord. Make sure that the extension
cord is in good condition and is heavy enough to carry the
current your tool will draw. This tool draws 15 amps. Table 1
shows the correct size to use. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and over-
heating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge: the smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
