Why is my Arbortech ALL.FG.175240.00/40 motor overheating?
- JjordanwarrenAug 18, 2025
Several factors can cause the Arbortech Saw motor to overheat. Make sure that the cooling vents are not blocked by debris or your hand. Also, ensure the blades aren't rubbing against each other too hard, either at the cutting edge or near the blade mounts. Worn blades or excessive belt tension can also lead to overheating, so replace worn blades and check the belt tension. Check the bearings for failure by removing the plastic side cover and belt, then rotate both pulleys independently to check for roughness. The power pulley should rotate easily and smoothly, while the driven pulley should rotate smoothly but have a 'springy' feel. Finally, verify that the motor housing is secure; if it's loose, seek help from an authorized service center.
