Troubleshooting
Saw does not start
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the safety lock-off switch is engaged. Verify that the overload protection has not tripped.
Rip fence is not parallel to the blade
Loosen the rip fence lock, adjust the fence until it is parallel to the blade using a straight edge or ruler, and then re-tighten securely.
Poor cut quality (burning, rough edges)
Ensure the blade is sharp and appropriate for the material being cut. Verify the blade is installed correctly and running at the correct speed. Check for excessive dust buildup around the blade and in the throat plate.
Dust extraction is ineffective
Confirm that a dust extractor is connected and operational. Check for blockages in the dust ports, hoses, or the vacuum cleaner itself. Ensure the seal between the saw and the dust hose is secure.
Blade brake is not functioning
Cease operation immediately and consult the user manual. This may indicate an electrical or mechanical fault requiring professional inspection.
