1.Sharpen or replace blade.
Cannot make square
cut when crosscutting.
Cut binds, burns or
stalls motor when
ripping.
•Cut not true at 90°
or 45 ° positions.
"Tilt crank and
elevating hand
wheel turn hard.
1. Blade out of balance.
2. Failure to tighten
Tilt Lock Knob.
1. Miter gauge not adjusted

technician. Repair service is available at
your nearest Sears store.
1. 1. Do not use other appliances or motors on
same circuit when using the saw.
Motor fails to develop
full power. (Power
output of motor decreases
rapidly with decrease in
voltage at motor terminals.
For example, a reduction
of 10% in voltage causes
a reduction of 19% in
maximum power output
of which the motor is
capable, while areduction
of 20% in voltage causes
areduction of 36% in
maximum power output.)
Circuit overloaded with
lights, appliances and
other motors.
Undersize wires or circuit
too lon_
2.
3. General overloading of
power company
facilities. (In some
sections of the
country, demand for
electrical power may
exceed the capacity
of existing generating
and distribution systems.)
4. Incorrect fusesor circuit
breakers in power line.
2. Increasewire sizes,or reduce length of wiring.
See "Motor Specification and Electrical
