Electric brake
Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric
brake which is designed to stop the blade from
spinning in about four (4) seconds after you turn
the saw off. It is useful when making certain
cuts in wood where a coasting blade would
result in a wide, imprecise cut.
WARNING
electrical power is lost due to blown fuse or
other causes, the motor will gradually slow
down and the braking action is initiated
ONLY by the release of the trigger switch.
The electric blade brake of your table saw
has been designed for highest degree of
reliability, but unexpected circumstances
such as contamination on the commutator
and brushes, failure of motor's components
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
When the FLEX power
adapter is used, if the
or overheating can cause the brake not to
activate. If this condition occurs, turn the
saw ON and OFF four to five times without
contacting the workpiece. If the tool operates
but the brake does not consistently stop the
blade in about five seconds, DO NOT use
saw and have it serviced immediately.
WARNING
safety feature.
Remember to let the saw blade come
to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece or cut-off pieces. As always,
the guard system is your best protection
against unintentional contact with a
spinning saw blade. NEVER wedge open
or defeat the closing action of the guard.
