amazingkevin Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 It has to do with where in the rotation of the motor that it stops. If it stops with the blade position all the way down, there is a cam flat spot where the mechanism won't slide either way off that cam position. If the motor stops anywhere else, lifting the arm will force the mechanism and the motor to rotate, in effect allowing the blade to move to it's full up position. A slight bump of the motor switch/foot pedal will run the motor far enough for the cam to be off of this flat spot, and the arm will lift to it's full up position. There's nothing wrong with your saws. It's just something you have to live with and learn to work around. Bumping the motor position with the power or foot switch is the easiest way around it. Of course, they could have added hardware and switches to your saw to keep it from stopping there, but that would have raised the price of the saw significantly. Charley Charley you and Jim are the best .i like quick fixes but i also want to know the why of things too! Thanks for you enlightenment for us all!
