Using Your Saw
WARNING! Never run the saw in Bypass Mode unless necessary to cut conductive materials. The
brake system will not activate when the saw is in Bypass Mode and a serious injury could result.
5. Using the Saw in Bypass Mode:
If you need to cut electrically conductive materials such as aluminum with this saw, you must operate the saw
in Bypass Mode to prevent the brake from activating. In order to operate the saw in Bypass Mode, the safety
system requires you to follow the procedure below to ensure that the saw is never placed in Bypass Mode
accidentally.
Note: the safety system will not start in Bypass Mode unless the brake cartridge is properly installed
and all error codes are cleared. Therefore it is not possible “override” an error by starting the saw
in Bypass Mode.
To Operate the Saw in Bypass Mode
a. Turn the Bypass Key clockwise and hold it for
at least 1 second (see Fig. 28). Note: to prevent
unauthorized use of the saw in Bypass Mode,
remove the Bypass Key from the saw when not
in use.
b. While still holding the Bypass Key turned, pull
the Start/Stop paddle out to the ON position.
The blade will start to spin and the Bypass
Mode status code will ash on the LEDs.
c. Continue to hold the Bypass Key turned for
at least 1 second after the motor starts. If you
release the Bypass key before 1 second has
elapsed, the motor will stop and the “Switch
Start/Stop Paddle to OFF” error code will be
displayed. If this happens, switch the Start/Stop
paddle to OFF and repeat this procedure from
the beginning.
Using Your Saw
CAUTION! Always check the saw blade after cutting conductive materials. Sometimes
a shard of aluminum or other conductive material will become embedded on the end of
a saw blade tooth. If that occurs and the saw is started, then the shard could contact the
aluminum brake pawl when the motor starts and cause the brake to activate.
