    Why won't my Record Power BS12 Saw cut in a straight line?

      Megan JohnstonAug 5, 2025
      If your Record Power Saw won't cut in a straight line, several factors could be the cause. It might be due to a worn blade, in which case you should change it. The guide carrier may be set too high, so adjust it accordingly. The blade tension might be incorrect; refer to the manual for instructions. The fence could be misaligned, requiring adjustment. Lastly, the table might not be aligned correctly; undo the four bolts holding the table to the trunnion and realign the table.

    Why does the motor slow down on my Record Power Saw when cutting wood?
    • G
      Gregory DunnAug 10, 2025
      If the motor of your Record Power Saw slows down when wood is put through, it could be due to several reasons. You might be applying too much pressure to the work piece, consider reducing the force. The drive belt could be slipping, so adjust it. A misaligned fence can also cause this issue, so make sure to adjust the fence. Another potential cause is an incorrectly aligned table; undo the four bolts holding the table to the trunnion and align the table. Finally, ensure you are using the correct type of blade; if not, change the blade.

      Matthew SmithAug 15, 2025
      If your Record Power Saw machine buzzes but will not run, the issue may stem from a faulty capacitor on the motor, requiring a capacitor replacement. Alternatively, there could be a fault within the motor itself, in which case you should have the motor inspected and replaced if necessary.
