If your Wen Saw motor doesn't start, first check the power cord, extension cord, plug, and outlet, ensuring they are undamaged and properly connected. If the power switch is defective, or there's a motor issue, stop using the tool and call 1-800-232-1195 for customer service. Also, ensure the outlet provides sufficient power. Inspect and replace worn carbon brushes as needed.
Why is my Wen MM1011 Saw making excessive noise or vibrating?
Excessive noise or vibration in your Wen Saw can occur if it's not mounted properly. Make sure the saw is mounted securely to a flat, level surface. Also, check the blade for damage and replace it if needed. Ensure the blade flanges are flush against the blade and the arbor bolt is completely tightened.
Why does my Wen MM1011 overheat?
If your Wen Saw is overheating, avoid forcing the tool to work too fast; let it operate at its own pace and ensure the blade is appropriate for the cut. Also, select the proper extension cord, referring to 'Electrical Information' on p. 8. Additionally, ensure the motor housing vents are not blocked by wearing safety glasses and a dust mask, then blow out any dust.
How to improve the cutting performance of my Wen MM1011 Saw?
If your Wen Saw has ineffective cutting performance, sharpen or replace the blade if it's dull. If the blade is dirty, remove it and clean the surface and cutting edge with steel wool and turpentine. Make sure the blade flanges are flush against the blade and the arbor bolt is tightened completely. Ensure the correct blade is used for the workpiece and is installed in the correct orientation.
What to do if the blade on my Wen Saw will not turn?
If the blade of your Wen Saw will not turn, clean the space between the blade and frame with compressed air to remove excessive sawdust or chips. Also, ensure the spindle lock is disengaged by moving the blade back and forth.
