Why would the motor of a radial arm saw smoke?In: Home Improvement [Recategorize] |
[Edit] |
Answer 1
It could be that the blade is dull. The motor works hard to turn the blade and consequently producing smoke. Also make sure to keep your cut straight when cutting to prevent blade binding.
Answer 2
It could be that there is a bit of saw dust in the motor. I'd try taking the cover off and blow out the motor. Use a paint brush or compressed air.
Answer 3
It is a way of telling you it is TOOL TIME! Head to Lowe's of Home Depot and pick up a new saw. I never heard of a better excuse.vbd
Answer 4
The motor should NOT smoke, EVEN IF "bogged down," or heavily loaded. Usually the smoke is from blade friction on the workpiece. IF it ACTUALLY is the motor which is the source of the smoke, then there is a severe defect within, and it needs the attention of a professional repair technician at a factory authorized repair center, OR as answer 3 suggests, it is time to replace the power tool.j3h.
