What to do if my HARVEY Saw overload kicks out frequently?
- C
  Crystal GlennAug 12, 2025
  If the overload protection activates frequently on your HARVEY Saw, several factors could be responsible. It might be due to: * Using an extension cord that is too long or has too small a gauge size. In this case, replace it with a cord of adequate size. * Feeding the material too quickly. Try feeding the stock more slowly. * A blade in poor condition (dull, warped, or gummed). Try cleaning or replacing the blade. * Blade binding due to a misaligned rip fence. Check and adjust the rip fence. * Blade binding because of warped wood. Select another piece of wood. * Low house current. Contact your electrical company.
