OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS
STARTING AND
STOPPING SAW
The on/off switch (A) Fig. 24, is located on the front of the
saw cabinet. To turn the saw “ON” move the switch (A)
to the up position. To turn the saw “OFF”, move the
switch (A) to the down position.
LOCKING SWITCH IN
THE “OFF” POSITION
When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked
in the “OFF”. This can be done by grasping the switch
toggle (B) and pulling it out of the switch as shown in Fig.
25. With the switch toggle (B) removed the switch will not
operate. However, should the switch toggle be removed
while the saw is running, it can be turned “OFF,” but can-
not be restarted without inserting the switch toggle (B)
back into the switch.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Your saw is equipped with a reset overload relay button
(C) Fig. 25. 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.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord
which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-pole
receptacle which will accept the tool’s plug. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current of the saw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Fig. 23, shows the correct gage to use de-
pending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heav-
ier the cord.
