OVERLOAD PROTECTION, OVERHEAT PROTECTION
Overload & Load Warning Lamp
When full load is reached, the load warning lamp will flash red. If full load
is exceeded and sustained for too long, the motor will shut down and the
load warning lamp will glow solid red. In this case, the motor must be first
shut off and then restarted.
Overheat Thermal Protection
If the temperature of the motor gets too high, the thermal protection
will shut the motor down. The switch must be first shut off and then restarted. When this happens, do not
immediately start cutting after restarting the motor. Always run the machine at no load for a few minutes to
return to a normal operating temperature before continuing.
CAUTION: The motor will be damaged if it is repeatedly overloaded or overheated. Always cool the
motor by running at no load for a few minutes whenever it stops from either overheat or overload.
OPERATION
How to hold the machine
•
Always hold the machine with both hands, with the right hand on the main handle and with the left
hand on the side handle. (This applies even if the
operator is left-handed)
•
Do not stand directly in line with the blade.
Rather, stand in such a way that, if it kicks back,
you will not be in the path of the blade.
•
Never lean over the blade path. That would put
your body in line with the blade if it kicks back.
•
Do not cut above shoulder height.
•
Never cut while standing on a ladder or other unstable platform.
Before cutting
•
Check the area where the cut is to be made to ensure that it is clear of objects which could cause the
operator to stumble.
•
Before cutting, it is sometimes useful to mark the line of cut with chalk or the like. For straight cutting, a
wood plank is also useful in guiding the machine to make a straight cut.
•
Ensure that all bystanders are at a safe distance.
•
Ensure that all safety equipment is in place.
