safety key removed, the switch will not operate.
NOTE: If the safety key is removed while the saw is running, the saw can be turned OFF, but cannot
be restarted without inserting the safety key.
Overload Reset Switch (Figure 19)
To prevent accidental startup if the overload reset switch is pushed, the ON/OFF switch should be in
the OFF position, and the plug should be removed from the power source while cool down takes place.
Overheating may be caused by misaligned parts or a dull blade. Inspect your saw for proper setup
before using it again.
This saw has an overload reset switch (Figure 19) that will allow the motor to be restarted after it shuts
off due to overloading or low voltage. If the motor stops during operation, perform the following:
1. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
2. Wait about five minutes for the motor to cool.
3. Push in the overload reset switch.
4. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
Crosscutting (Figure 20)
Crosscutting is known as cutting wood across the grain, at 90°, or square with both the edge and the
flat side of the wood. This is done with the miter gauge set at 90° (Figure 20).
The graduations on the miter gauge provide accuracy for average
woodworking. In some cases where extreme ac curacy is
required, when making angle cuts, for example, make a trial cut
and then recheck it with an accurate square or protractor.
If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled slightly to
compensate for any inaccuracy.
NOTE: The space between the miter gauge bar and the groove in
the table is held to a minimum during manufacturing.
For maximum accuracy when using the miter gauge, always “favor” one side of the groove in the table.
In other words, don’t move the miter gauge from side to side while cutting but keep one side of the bar
riding against one side of the groove.
The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the table. Make sure miter gauge bar is
engaged under table retainer tabs. Make sure lock handle is tightened securely to maintain angle.
When using the miter gauge in the LEFT hand groove, hold the workpiece firmly against gauge head
with your left hand, and grip the lock handle with your right hand.
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece with your right hand and the lock handle
with your left hand.
When cutting long workpieces, make sure the end is supported from the floor.
