If the saw does not start when pulling the paddle, the two status lights on the control box may indicate why:
After turning the main power switch on, the status lights will blink as the saw boots up. A solid green light with no red light indicates that the saw is ready to start. The saw will refuse to start while it’s still booting, and the status lights will flash (labelled “Push Start/Stop Paddle To OFF” on the below cheat-sheet).
This cheat-sheet is from page 30 in the user manual. It’s also printed on the left side of the control box near the start paddle.
The saw may also refuse to start if it detects contact with the blade when the paddle is pulled on (labelled “Contact Detected During Standby” in the cheat-sheet). Make sure nothing (including your workpiece) is contacting the blade when starting the saw.
If no status lights appear after turning the main power switch on, make sure the red-and-yellow disconnect rotary switch (left side of the cabinet) is in the on position.
