Possible Cause(s)
Overloaded power line
Feeding rate too fast
Improper motor cooling
Saw blade has heel
What to Do
Reduce line load by removing
other lights, appliances
Slow rate of feed
Vacuum sawdust from motor to
allow normal air circulation
Check alignment
While motor is running, fuses
blow
Need 15 amp circuit
Need 15 amp slow-blow fuse
Low voltage
Call your electrician

Check voltage. Normal loads can
be safely handled at 10% above
or below nameplate voltage;
heavy loads need same voltage at
motor terminal as on nameplate
Molor starts slowly or fails to
come to full power
Incorrect gauge extension cord
Overloaded power line
Undersize wires or circuit too
long
Refer to table in Electrical Con-
nections
Reduce line load by removing
