Why does my RIDGID Saw keep tripping the circuit breaker?
Your RIDGID Saw might be tripping the circuit breaker because the motor is overloaded, meaning you're feeding work into the blade too quickly. Alternatively, the fuses or circuit breakers may not have sufficient capacity. Try installing proper size fuses or circuit breakers.
What to do if my RIDGID TS 2400 motor stalls and blows fuses?
If your RIDGID Saw motor stalls, resulting in blown fuses, it could be due to voltage being too low, preventing the motor from reaching operating speed. Request a voltage check from the power company. Another cause could be that the fuses or circuit breakers do not have sufficient capacity, so install proper size fuses or circuit breakers.
Why is my RIDGID TS 2400 Saw motor overheating?
Your RIDGID Saw motor may be overheating because it's overloaded; try feeding work slower into the blade. Another cause could be improper cooling. Clean out sawdust to provide normal air circulation through the motor.
Why doesn't my RIDGID Saw motor develop full power?
If your RIDGID Saw motor fails to develop full power, the circuit could be overloaded with lights, appliances, and other motors; avoid using other appliances on the same circuit when using the saw. The wiring circuit (extension cord) might also be too long or undersized; increase wire sizes or reduce the length of the circuit. General overloading of power company facilities could also be the cause; request a voltage check from the power company. Finally, incorrect fuses or circuit breakers in the power line could be the reason; install correct fuses or circuit breakers.
How to fix excessive vibration in my RIDGID TS 2400 Saw?
Excessive vibration in your RIDGID Saw is often due to a blade that is out of balance or damaged. Replace the blade to resolve this issue.
What to do if the cut binds or the motor stalls when ripping with my RIDGID TS 2400?
If the cut binds, burns, or stalls the motor when ripping with your RIDGID Saw, it could be due to a dull blade or improper tooth set; sharpen or replace the blade. Another reason may be that the blade is heeling. A warped board could also be the cause, so make sure the concave or hollow side is facing “down” and feed slowly. The rip fence may not be parallel to the blade. Finally, the spreader could be out of alignment.
Why does my RIDGID TS 2400 Saw motor start slowly?
If your RIDGID Saw motor starts slowly or fails to come up to full speed, low voltage could be the cause. Request a voltage check from the power company. Alternatively, the windings may be burned out or open; have the motor repaired or replaced.
Why is my RIDGID TS 2400 making excessive noise?
If your RIDGID Saw is making excessive noise, the motor may be the source of the problem. Have the motor checked by a qualified service technician. Repair service is available at your nearest Authorized Service Center.
What causes a RIDGID TS 2400 motor to run intermittently?
If your RIDGID Saw motor runs intermittently, sparks excessively, or fails to start, it could be due to worn or damaged brushes. Replace the brushes.
