Accuset makes inaccurate blade drops.
This may be caused by variances in friction
characteristics. Make sure the up/down chain is clean, lubricated and adjusted properly.
Also check if the saw head slide pads are adjusted properly and the mast rails are clean
and lubricated (
See Section 3.4 Accuracy Problems
).

buttons.
Commonly happens when battery power is low, causing Accuset to reset.
Check the battery cable connections. Recharge or replace the battery if necessary. If the
battery is good, check the power cable connections in the Accuset front panel. Make sure
all connections are tight and free of corrosion.
If all the power connections appear to be okay and the Accuset still switches modes with-
out pressing any buttons, replace the Accuset front panel.

Accuset does not switch from Manual Mode to Pattern Mode (Rev A.00 - A.03 only).
When this happens, turn the key switch to the off (#0) position. Turn the key switch to the

reappears, reset the Accuset to Factory Settings (
See Section 3.2.2 Resetting the
). Replace the Accuset front panel if necessary.

Accuset buttons do not work properly.
Before replacing the control panel, turn the key
switch to the off (#0) position. Turn the key switch to the on (#1) or accessory (#3) posi-
tion and check if the buttons work properly. If the problem remains, check for a weak bat-
tery. If the battery is good and the control has been reset by powering off and back on and
the buttons still do not function properly, replace the Accuset front panel.

Accuset display dimensions are not stable when engine is running and the saw-
head does not move up and/or down.
Most commonly happens when the transducer
wire connections are loose. Check the transducer wires. Tighten the connections secur-
ing the transducer cables if necessary. If no problems are found with the wire connec-
tions, call Customer Service for assistance.
