So if I have placed this in the wrong spot, I’m sure John will rescue me and put it where it belongs . So I originally set up the SS for 220 volts, I got some low voltage warnings, which also stops the SS from running. I checked all connections, metered the voltage at different times and locations, all results were acceptable. I then set the SS up for 125 volts to see if it would make a difference. It still kept happening, but seemed less often. At the end of making the last run of Kissmass Trees, I got a System Error RPS State Error0, and the machine stopped running. So with Christmas happening, and having to move everything in the basement to get the Christmas stuff out, and up, I decided to wait until everything was put back and the basement was mine again to deal with this. While waiting I researched the issue as well as I could. There were several threads about it on the SS Forums. Basically there is a 3 sensor, speed sensor next to the motor, and if sawdust gets in there and covers any one, or more, of the sensors, the SS stops, and the Error code appears. So today (Cause yesterday we got all the Christmas stuff put away ), I partially disassembled the PowerPro, (Had a stripped screw on the shaft guard, had to cut it to get the guard off. $4.95 for a new one, it’s been ordered. Also had to go to HD for some T-handled Allen wrenches, and split ring pliers.) got to the sensor and vacuumed, gently wiped, and using canned air, cleaned the sensors. I reassembled the SS, put it back in 220 volt mode, and started it up in tablesaw mode, 4300 RPM. The SS Ran for a couple of minutes, and then I turned it off. I’m hoping this works because the sensor cost one of the guys on their forum $700/something for a replacement (he did the replacing), otherwise I have to take the PowerPro off the SS, crate it up and send it back to SS. I’m starting to think the old school motor with the pulley speed system may have been the better choice. Second issue, every time I rip I seem to burn the wood. When I bought the SS I bought the alignment meter. I was going to check the blade/fence/miter slot alignment, but when I bought the Jessem Clear Cut Table Saw Guide I found out it only works on the left side of the fence. I do not know why, but I have always cut on the right side of the fence. Maybe the left side is the one you’re supposed to use in WW’ing? Anyways tomorrow’s project is to check the alignment, and try to set it, if it’s off. I’d like to be able to rip without burning. If I can resolve these 2 issues, I will be able to get more therapeutic value from my shop time.
