TROUBLE PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY
H,
Excessive noise° ! Motor, 1 Have motor checked by qualified service
technician, Repair service is available at
your nearest Sears store.
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 a reduction
of 20% in voltage causes
a reduction of 36% in
maximum power output.)
1o Circuit overloaded with
lights, appliances and
other motors
2. Undersize wires or circuit
too long.
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 fuses or circuit
breakers in power line.
2 Increase wire sizes, or reduce length of wiring,
See "Motor Specification and Electrical
Requirements" section
3. Request a voltage check from the power company
4 Install correct fuses or circuit breakers.
