OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS
STARTING AND
STOPPING SAW
1. The on/off switch is located underneath the switch
shield (A) Fig. 41. To turn the saw “ON”, move switch
trigger (B) to the up position.
2. To turn the saw “OFF”, push down on switch shield
(A) Fig. 42.
LOCKING SWITCH IN
THE “OFF” POSITION
IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use, the switch
should be locked in the OFF position using a padlock (C)
Fig. 43, with a 3/16" diameter shackle to prevent
unauthorized use.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Your saw is equipped with a reset overload relay button
(C) Fig. 44. If the motor shuts off or fails to start due to
over loading (cutting stock too fast, using a dull blade,
using the saw beyond its capacity, etc.) or low voltage,
turn the switch to the “OFF” position. Let the motor cool
three to five minutes and push the reset button (C),
which will reset the overload device. The motor can then
be turned on again in the usual manner.
BLADE RAISING AND
LOWERING CONTROL
To raise or lower the saw blade, turn handwheel (A) Fig.
44. Turning the handwheel clockwise lowers the blade
and turning the handwheel counterclockwise raises the
blade. WARNING: THE BLADE TILTING LOCK
HANDLE (B) FIG. 44, MUST BE LOCKED DURING ALL
CUTTING OPERATIONS.
