Projectiles thrown from the machine
could cause serious eye injury. Wear
safety glasses during assembly and
operation.
Once the assembly is complete, test run the machine to
make sure it runs properly for regular operations.
The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The
motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2) the safety dis
-
abling mechanism on the switch works correctly, and 3) to
check for unusual noises or vibration.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source
of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine
immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page 45.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech
Support at (360) 734-3482 for assistance.

12. Model W1762 only. Verify that the
power is not connected out of phase
by starting/stopping the table saw and
determining if the motor turns in the
correct direction, using the criteria
below:
— If the
blade turns clockwise (as
standing in front of the table saw
),
it is turning in the correct direction.
— If the
blade turns counterclockwise,
toward the back of the saw, it
is
turning in the wrong direction. Stop
the table saw,
shut OFF the power
source, swap any two of the three
power wires that connect to the
saw, and verify that the arbor nut
is secure. The saw is now ready to
operate.
