Re: KF 700 - shutting off as blade touches wood

There is not enough information here for us to really be helpful. ?Please reply with answers to Brian’s questions. ?Without hearing more, I’d be very suspicious that the issue is related to the stop circuit connected through the sliding table to the switches at “the end of the wagon.” ? That circuit runs through the bearings, and if that circuit is broken (for just a millisecond) because of poor contact induced by the vibration of the saw starting to cut, that would produce the behavior you observe. ?Try cleaning the bearing ways of the lower and upper sliding table extrusions. ?Douse it with a solvent like WD-40, run the slider back and forth several times, then clean the ways several times to remove the solvent. ?Of course there are a bunch of other possibilities, but I’d start with that.

Update:
?
So went through everything getting dust out of all the nooks and crannies as the day went on.?
?
Initially it let me then restart the saw from the wagon or frame without recycling the on/off but would still cut out when I tried to cut about 3/4."? I did not try thinner stuff.
?
I then kept messing around and cleaning as the no longer switching the main switch on/off was a change with the policing of dust around the unit.?
?
Finally got it to rip 2 sticks of 8/4 maple which is how I had started the day but then ran out of time for the day as the family calls.?
?
Fingers crossed next weekend I can actually meet my goals from this weekend.
?
Who knows but the sawdust was likely causing an electronic gremlin somehow.??
