necessary
2-hand safety block (labelled KO)

Check and replace 2-hand safety block
as necessary
Saw starts when switches
are pressed but stops under
applied load
Wire cross-section too small and/or
cable too long
Check dimensions according to the an-
nex 13.4 "Cross-sections of wires" and
change if necessary
Check and remove voltage drop (S&W
provide the relevant test equipment)
Use torque wrench to tighten belt
Saw won't always start
when pressing the switches
or intermittently starts/stops
2-hand safety block (labelled KO)
defective
Check and replace 2-hand safety block
