I don't know if the manual will help you put your saw back together, but here it is in pdf :

Good luck and Regards

Does wiggling the cord cause the problem?

You might want to have a look at some of the manuals available online at this site. Perhaps there is something there of the same general vintage that will help you to answer your questions. I think there is some kind of stamped plate on the back of the saw, either on the column or the table base itself. I don't really remember, and mine is buried into a cutoff table and inaccessible. Otherwise, you could try looking up the motor model number at the sears online site at www.managemylife.com. Good luck.

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.

Hello. this may be of interest to you http://www.owwm.com/mfgindex/pubdetail.aspx?id=2146

Possibly the problem is the wood itself. If it is burning both sides of the kerf then it is probably that your kiln dried wood is picking up moisture on the outside from the environment which causes it to bow inwards as it passes the saw. I have even had this problem with plywood. Just keeping timber in an unheated workshop for a while can cause the problem but after a few months it should equalize and the problem disappear at about 15% moisture content. (kiln dried timber should be nearer 10%)
Cut part way along a plank and then mesure the kerf at the end of the plank and at the front of the cut. if it is significantly narrower at the plank end then that is your problem.
These hard woods you mention are always a problem to cut on domestic saws at usually a maximum of 2000 watts . I use a 4500 watt motor in my saw and it will still complain at dry oak, ash and maple etc. especially if they are moving a bit as I cut them. Before I retired I had a panel saw half as powerful again as that and still those hard woods could cause trouble.

You have a 5/8" diameter arbor. You can use any dado blade that will fit. That said here's a few things to bear in mind.

8" diameter dado stacks are pretty standard for 10" contractor table saws. A dado stack is typically about 13/16" wide at most. It makes sense that the wider your blade is, the more power it takes to cut through the wood.

If you were to use the full width capacity of your Dado stack (13/16") a 10" diameter stack would bog down. A 8" stack has a faster rotation at the cutting edge because of its smaller radius. So, you don't bog down when you're making a wider cut if you use a smaller diameter.

If your machine was really underpowered, you could go down to a 6" stack which would cut your power requirements even more, but limits the depth of cut.

You can get the manual on link below. Please allow it to load for about 5 Min's. It is a large file.

The Blade Arbor is held to the bottom of the table with mounting screws and stop/adjusting screws. Loosen the mounting screw and adjust the stop screws to make Blade true with miter slot.

Yea- its really simple with the Maximus Formula's (well.. I have a Maximus II Formula....)

Under the BIOS, you should have a tab called "extreme tweaker" or something similar. Go under that and there should be a nice CPU level up option. For example, mine has 3 options: (i have an E8400)
1.) Auto
2.) E8500
3.) Crazy


Another solution is to get the ASUS utility called CPU Level Up. It installs under windows, and lets you switch your CPU settings easily. Although this may be a Republic of Gamers specific utility.. not sure.
