The Troubleshooting section covers problems directly related
to the operation and maintenance of the saw. This section does
not provide solutions to problems that originate with other
equipment. Additional troubleshooting help can be found in
manuals supplied with the other equipment.
The main problems you will see with the saw are:
● Saw operation problems, which focus on problems that
are clearly related to the operation of the saw’s electrical
control systems.
● Plastic product quality concerns, which deal with prod-
uct characteristics that may be related to saw operation.
Of course, other sections of the extrusion line also influ-
ence the quality of the extruded product. This section
does not provide solutions to problems originating with
other equipment on the extrusion line.
Additional troubleshooting help can be found in the manufac-
turer’s manuals included with this User Guide.

TROUBLESHOOTING 6-3
DANGER: Sharp blades!
Most injuries caused by saw blades occur when
the saw has been turned off. Handle blades
with care at all times.
● Always wear cut-resistant gloves when the
cutting chamber is open and when handling
blades.
● Always lock out power to the saw before
opening the cutting chamber.
● Always wait until the saw has completely
stopped before opening the cabinet door.
CTS saws are equipped with several safety
devices to ensure safe operation. Never remove
or disable these devices to sustain production.
Operating without these devices can cause
severe injury.
