If your Porter-Cable Saw won't start, there are several possible causes: * The saw might not be plugged in. If this is the case, plug it in. * A fuse might be blown, or a circuit breaker tripped. If so, replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. * The cord could be damaged. If this is the case, have the cord replaced by a Porter-Cable Service Center or Authorized Service Station.
What to do if material kicked back from blade on Porter-Cable pcb220ts Saw?
If the material is kicked back from the blade on your Porter-Cable Saw, consider the following: 1. The rip fence may be out of adjustment. Align the rip fence with the miter gauge slot. 2. The riving knife may not be aligned with the blade. Align the riving knife with the blade. 3. You might be feeding stock without a rip fence. Install and use the rip fence. 4. The riving knife might not be in place. Install and use the riving knife (with guard). 5. The blade might be dull. Replace the blade. 6. The operator might be letting go of the material before it is past the saw blade. Push the material all the way past the saw blade before releasing work. 7. The miter angle lock knob might not be tight. Tighten the knob.
Why does my Porter-Cable Saw makes unsatisfactory cuts?
If your Porter-Cable Saw is making unsatisfactory cuts, it might be due to: * A dull blade. If so, replace the blade. * The blade being mounted backwards. Turn the blade around. * Gum or pitch on the blade. Remove the blade and clean it with turpentine and coarse steel wool. * An incorrect blade for the work being done. Change the blade. * Gum or pitch on the blade causing erratic feed. Clean the table with turpentine and steel wool.
Why blade of Porter-Cable Saw does not come up to speed?
If your Porter-Cable Saw blade does not come up to speed and the reset trips too easily, it could be due to: * An extension cord that is too light or too long. Replace it with an adequate size cord. * Low house voltage. Contact your electric company.
Why my Porter-Cable pcb220ts vibrates excessively?
If your Porter-Cable Saw vibrates excessively, it could be due to: * The saw not being mounted securely to the workbench. Tighten all mounting hardware. * The bench being on an uneven floor. Reposition it on a flat, level surface. * A damaged saw blade. Replace the blade.
How to adjust Porter-Cable pcb220ts for accurate rip cuts?
If your Porter-Cable Saw does not make accurate 45° and 90° rip cuts, it may be because: * The positive stop is not adjusted correctly. Check the blade with a square and adjust the positive stop. * The tilt angle pointer is not set accurately. Check the blade with a square and adjust it to zero.
What to do if material binds on riving knife of Porter-Cable Saw?
If the material binds on the riving knife of your Porter-Cable Saw, it is likely that the riving knife is not aligned correctly with the blade. To resolve this, check and align the riving knife with the blade.
Why material pinched blade when ripping with Porter-Cable pcb220ts?
If the material pinched the blade when ripping with your Porter-Cable Saw, it may be due to: * The rip fence not being aligned with the blade. Check and adjust the rip fence. * Warped wood, where the edge against the fence is not straight. Select another piece of wood.
How to fix Porter-Cable Saw blade that does not raise freely?
If the blade of your Porter-Cable Saw does not raise or tilt freely, it's likely due to sawdust and dirt in the elevation/tilting mechanisms. Brush or blow out any loose dust and dirt to resolve this issue.
How to adjust Porter-Cable pcb220ts for accurate crosscuts?
If your Porter-Cable Saw does not make accurate 45° and 90° crosscuts, it is likely that the miter gauge is out of adjustment. Adjust the miter gauge to correct this.
