2112.0 Troubleshooting JMS-10X,12X Miter SawsSymptom Possible Cause Correction *Motor will not start No incoming power. Check plug connection to receptacle. Ifsatisfactory, check electrical panel forblown fuse or tripped breaker – replacefuse or reset breaker.Low voltage. Correct the low voltage conditions.Faulty power cord or plug. Have cord and plug inspected by a qualifiedservice center.Open circuit in motor or looseconnection.Have motor inspected by a qualified servicecenter.Motor will not start:fuse blows or circuitbreaker trips.Short circuit in line cord or plug. Inspect cord or plug for damaged insulationand shorted wires.Open circuit in motor or looseconnection.Have motor inspected by a qualified servicecenter.Incorrect fuses or circuit breakers inpower line.Install correct fuses or circuit breakers.Motor overheats. Motor overloaded. Reduce pressure on workpiece. Allow sawto cool down before restarting.Extension cord too long or not propergauge.Use shorter extension cord, or largergauge.Air circulation through motor isrestricted.Blow out motor vents with compressed airto restore normal air circulation.Motor stalls, or fails toreach full speed.Motor overloaded. Reduce pressure on workpiece.Improper extension cord. Use proper extension cord.Low voltage. Correct the low voltage conditions.Air circulation through motor isrestricted.Blow out motor vents with compressed airto restore normal air circulation.Motor failure. Have motor inspected by a qualified servicecenter.Incorrect fuses or circuit breakers inpower line.Install correct fuses or circuit breakers.Machine slows whenoperating.Applying too much pressure toworkpiece.Feed workpiece more slowly.Cuts not square. Fence not parallel to blade Align fence square to blade.90-degree stop is misaligned. Adjust 90-degree stop.Poor cuttingperformance.Blade is dull. Sharpen or replace blade.Workpiece is creeping during cut. Adjust hold-down for better clamping.Blade not appropriate for materialbeing cut.Use proper blade for selected material.Blade coasts aftertrigger is released.Electrical blade brake malfunction. Have saw inspected by a qualified servicecenter.Table 6*Warning: Some corrections may require a qualified electrician.
