Troubleshooting
Blade wanders off the cut line
Check blade tension – it may be too loose. Ensure the blade is correctly aligned with the guide bearings and that the bearings are properly set.
Motor struggles or stops during cut
Ensure the blade is sharp and the correct type for the material. Reduce the feed rate, allowing the motor to maintain speed. Check for any obstructions in the saw's path or around the motor.
Excessive vibration
Verify the saw is on a stable surface. Check that the blade is seated correctly on the pulleys and that there is no damage to the blade or pulleys. Ensure all external components are securely fastened.
Sawdust accumulation hindering visibility
Regularly clear sawdust from the blade path and table using a brush. Consider a dust collection system if available and compatible.
