OPERATIONAL CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The motor recommended for use with your saw is
equipped with a resetable overload relay (A) Fig. 43A. If
the motor shuts off or fails to start due to overloading
(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 (A), which will reset
the overload device.The motor can then be turned on
again in the usual manner.
