o

 or 90

o

 angles.

The blade cannot be
properly positioned on

PROBABLE CAUSE

1. No power supply.

    blade tension handwheel has
    not been tightened.
2. The blade has come off one of
    the wheels.
3. The saw blade has broken.
4. The drive belt has snapped.

1. Fence for cutting not used.

    cutting hard material or long
    use.

2. The blade was mounted in the
    wrong direction.

1. This is normal

1.  Excessive dust build-up on

the machine exterior
components.

1. The table is not at right
    angles to the blade.
2. The blade is dull or too much
    pressure was put on the
    workpiece.

1. The wheels are not in
    alignment. Defective bearing.

REMEDY

Check the cable for breakage.
Contact your local dealer for repair.

Switch off the motor, tighten the quick release
lever or blade tension handwheel.

Open the hinged door and check.

Replace the blade.
Replace the belt.

Use a fence.
Put light pressure on the workpiece & make
sure the blade does not bend.
Use a new blade.

Adjust the blade guides.

Replace the blade, use a 6 T.P.I. blade for
wood and soft materials. Use a 14 T.P.I. blade
for harder materials. A 14 T.P.I. blade always
cuts slower due to the finer teeth and the
slower cutting performance.
Install the blade correctly.

Clean the machine regularly. Open the hinged
door and remove the sawdust with a vacuum
cleaner. Attach a dust collection system.

Clean the ventilating slots of the motor with a
vacuum cleaner. From time to time remove
the sawdust to prevent it from being sucked
into the housing.

Adjust the table.

Replace the blade or put less pressure on the
workpiece.
