Turn the power switch "OFF" and unplug the power
cord from its power source prior to doing or performing
any maintenance.

before pushing the thermal-overload reset button.
The motor supplied with your table saw has a (resettable)
thermal-overload relay located on the side of the switch.
If the motor shuts off during an operation (cutting a
workpiece too fast or using a dull blade, using the saw
beyond its capacity, or low voltage) press the "OFF"
button and let the motor cool three to five minutes.
