Unplug the saw. Draw a line on the workpiece. When the
laser guide switch is turned on it will generate a red line on
the work surface. This line will let you see your mark and the
laser guide line at the same time, and will assist you in lining
up the mark for more accurate cutting of the workpiece. has tha saw been droped?
problem in the motor
smoking from the motor indicates burnt wires
make sure that you have the correct teeth pitch for the material being cut
is the voltage for the moor the same as the mains voltage supplied
Owner's manual trouble shooting?
Something is "caught" or being blocked in the return mechanism. Try to find the blockage. Cleaning and wd-40 may help.
There's a normal adjustment process of squaring the blade to the table, page 19 of your manual. If the blade is not square to the table then it will bind. Here's the link for the manual, see page 19.
Sounds as it is overheating. When have you last changed your blade. Also cut slower may help if your blades are dull or if the thickness of what you are cutting is too thick. Don't use an extension cord neither. Hope this helps.
mmarote, this is what I did to solve that problem....remove carb...take a hacksaw or dremel tool and cut or grind slots straight across the centers of both screws deep enough to get a thin bladed screwdriver in the slots....turn to adjust....et voila....
Ive seen this before. The sawblade that comes with the unit isnt very good. Upgrade to a good carbide blade from craftsman or even a dewalt/vermont american. Also slow your cut down an let the saw do the cutting. Hope this helps
Don't ever assume that the markings on the angle setting are correct and accurate. Always check squareness with a square before you use a miter saw. With almost all brands of power tools being built overseas nowadays there is unfortunately a question of accuracy on most brands. Always check.
