Line 87:
Line 87: − # Suppose the motor overheats. − ## The motor is designed to run very hot, but should it overheat it has an internal terminal overload protector that will shut it down until the motor has cooled down and then it will reset automatically. If the motor overheats, wait until it has cooled down and restart. If the motor shuts down constantly, check for the reason. Typical reasons are dull blade, overfeeding the wood, motor cooling fan clogged or faulty, motor cooling fins clogged and excessive ambient temperature. − # Suppose there's a squeaking noise. − ## Check that the motor cooling fan is not contacting the fan cover. − ## Check the drive belt. − ## Check that the guides are adjusted correctly. − # Suppose the upper guide shaft is tight or loose. − # Suppose the blade slows down during a cut. − ## Loose drive belt. Re-tension the belt. − ## Dull blade. Replace the blade or have it re-sharpened.
