Re: K975 blade cover MicroSwitch
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýRandy, Make sure that your saw does not run with cover open. In my case it does. You want to be aware if that safety feature is not there to protect you.

I'm going to look at the parts diagram and see if there's something missing on the both of Imran and my saw.. I do see that small bracket below the scoring blade arbor and notice that is not on my saw as well I'll also shoot an e mail to Greg Bryson and ask him if he can look into it further Thanks?

Imran, here is a photo of the blade cover in the open position on my K975. ? I don¡¯t remember what keeps it from opening so far that it bangs into the lower carriage of the sliding table like Randy¡¯s photo shows, but there was some kind of mechanical system that held the cover in the open position, and it was unrelated to the hinges: <PastedGraphic-1.tiff> As I recall, the restraint was at the scoring saw end of the cover, but I could be misremembering. ? I do remember having to fuss around with the hinge positions to get the cover to seat properly and to consistently actuate the safety microswitch. David Best
Thanks Randy. So nothing else preventing it from opening further than hinges? Imran On Jan 24, 2020, at 6:17 PM, Randy Child via Groups.Io <strongman_one@...> wrote: ? Your blade cover opens a lot further than mine..mine hits the bottom, lower side of my sliding table carriage and rests against it..I dont think its suppose to open any further and definitely not flop down inside the cabinet of the saw . I'm not 100% sure but I think you might be able to loosen the nuts on the hinges and raise the cover up a little more..

Got my saw hooked up today. In checking safety items I noted that the blade cover microswitch is functional but the cover drops beyond horizontal and the control lever completely disengages from microswitch. Can someone tell me if the blade cover should only travel from vertical (close) to horizontal (open)? If yes, what keeps it from opening any further (beyond horizontal)? This is how far cover on my saw opens When open this far the lever disengaged from microswitch So currently, the microswitch disables saw when lever is in contact with microswitch (about open to horizontal). Then enabled the saw when switch falls in the notch in closed position. <20200124_151220.jpg> <20200124_151554.jpg> <PastedGraphic-1.tiff> |
