Why does my RIDGID Saw motor stall and trip the circuit breaker?
The RIDGID Saw motor may stall due to a faulty starting switch, voltage that's too low, or fuses/circuit breakers with insufficient capacity. To resolve this, have the switch replaced, request a voltage check from the power company, and install properly sized fuses or circuit breakers.
Why does my RIDGID TS2412 Saw motor fail to develop full power?
Your RIDGID Saw motor might not be reaching full power if the circuit is overloaded, the wiring is undersized or too long, there's a general overload of power company facilities, or the fuses/circuit breakers are incorrect. Try not using other appliances on the same circuit, increase wire sizes or reduce wiring length, request a voltage check from the power company, and install the correct fuses or circuit breakers.
What to do if my RIDGID Saw experiences frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers?
Frequent tripping of fuses or circuit breakers in your RIDGID Saw can be caused by an overloaded motor, fuses or circuit breakers with insufficient capacity, or a faulty starting switch. Try feeding work slower into the blade, install proper size fuses or circuit breakers, and have the switch replaced.
Why does my RIDGID TS2412 Saw motor overheat?
The RIDGID Saw motor may overheat if it is overloaded or improperly cooled. Try feeding work slower into the blade. Also, clean out sawdust to allow normal air circulation through the motor.
Why is my RIDGID TS2412 Saw vibrating excessively?
Excessive vibration in your RIDGID Saw could be due to a blade that's out of balance or a damaged belt. Discard the blade and use a different one. Replace the V-Belt.
What to do if my RIDGID TS2412 Saw cut binds, burns or stalls motor when ripping?
If the cut binds, burns, or stalls the motor when ripping with your RIDGID Saw, it could be due to a dull blade, blade heeling, a warped board, the rip fence not being parallel to the blade, or the spreader being out of alignment. Sharpen or replace the blade. Make sure the concave or hollow side of the board is facing “down” and feed slowly.
Why does my RIDGID Saw motor start slowly?
If your RIDGID Saw motor starts slowly, it may be due to low voltage, burned out or open windings, or a starting switch that is not operating. Request a voltage check from the power company. Have the motor repaired or replaced. Have the switch replaced.
What to do if starting switch in RIDGID TS2412 Saw motor will not operate?
If the starting switch in your RIDGID Saw motor won't operate, it could be due to burned switch contacts, a shorted capacitor, or loose/broken connections. Have the switch replaced and request a voltage check from the power company. Have the capacitor tested and replaced if defective. Have the wiring checked and repaired.
