• Amperage: 15 Amp
• Horsepower: 1 HP
• Watts: 735 watts
• Motor RPM: 18,000 RPM
• Electrical Motor Specifications

Recommendations

• It is recommended that a 15 AMP CIRCUIT be used while operating this saw, for best performance use a 20 AMP CIRCUIT. This will prevent any loss of power or interruption.
• Always plug the saw as close as possible to the power source while operating. This will allow you to receive optimum electricity.

Extension Cords
Most motor trouble is the result of too small a gauge or too long of an extension cord. Cords must be one piece and as short as possible. Cords should be no longer than shown on Table 3: Extension Cord Maximum Length Chart (see above). Norton Construction Products is not responsible for damage to motors due to the use of extension cords that are too small or too long.
Electrical Supply
The CTC705 can only be used on a 115-volt 60 Hz 1-Phase circuit with a minimum of a 15-amp breaker, for best performance use a 20-amp breaker. Before connecting the CTC705 to the electrical supply, make sure the voltage is 115v. Connecting the CTC705 to voltages higher than may result in motor damage and is not covered under any warranty.
Generator
Using a machine with a generator that is less than the recommended output can result in motor damage and is not covered under warranty. Only use with a generator that is capable of continuous put of 4,000 w (4kW) at 20 amps or greater.

GENERAL ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING

Circuit Breaker During Start-Up or Not Cutting:

• Verify that the power supply voltage matches the motor nameplate voltage failure to run the motor on the proper voltage will damage the motor and is not covered under warranty. Improperly wired motors are not covered under warranty.
• Verify that the circuit breaker is correct for the machine and voltage being used o Although the CTC705 can be used on a 15A circuit a 20A is recommended for best performance.
• Verify that the Extension Cord meets the requirements on See: Extension Cords page 18
• Have a qualified Electrician verify that the Electrical Connections are correctly made.
• If using a generator, verify that it meets the minimum requirements See: Generators on page 18
• Remove the extension cord from the machine and connect the machine directly to the power supply, if the problem disappears the issue is low voltage due to the extension cord being too thin of gauge, too long, spliced together, or a combination of all.
• Change the power source if the problem disappears the issue is with the original power source (Low voltage, low amperage breaker, or damage breaker)
• Most motor issues are due to low voltage, underrated circuit breakers, and or extension cord issues.

Circuit Breaker Trips while cutting: – This is an issue with the Blade or Cutting Method being used or too long/thin extension cord or extremely low voltage at the machine.

• Verify that the Blade Being used is correct for the material being cut

• Verify that the Blade is properly exposed

• Verify that the Blade is installed properly

• Verify the cutting method. Forcing the Blade into the material is a sign that either the Blade is NOT correct for the material being cut or an inexperienced operator. Let the Blade and Machine work for you do not work for the Blade and Machine.

• If cutting hard materials do not use General purpose blades. General-purpose blades are designed to cut multiple soft to medium hardness materials and will not perform properly when cutting harder bricks, pavers, or other building materials. Incorrect blade usage is the number one root cause for motor issues. If you need assistance choosing the correct blade for the material being cut, contact customer service at 1-
  800- 554-8003.

• Verify Extension Cord Length and Gauge See: Extension Cords page 18

• Verify voltage at the machine must be 115v

Overload Protector (Thermal) Trips – This is a sign of Low Voltage, Incorrect Blade for Material being cut, or forcing the Blade through the material.

• Verify the Voltage at the machine!
• Verify that the Extension Cord meets the requirements on See: Power Supply page 18
• Verify the cutting method. Forcing the Blade into the material is a sign that either the Blade is NOT correct for the material being cut or an inexperienced operator. Let the Blade and Machine work for you do not work for the Blade and Machine.
• If the Overload Protector trips immediately when the unit is turned on this is a sign of extremely low voltage or damage Overload Protector.
• Clean the Motor by blowing out the fan cover with compressed air
• Check the Motor for a damaged
• To reset the Overload Protector (Thermal) let the motor cool down for 5 to 10 minutes and then press the Thermal Overload Protector to reset. The Thermal Overload Protector will not reset unit the unit has fully cooled.

Electrical Trouble Shooting
Verify voltage to the motor 115v/60 Hz/1 Phase

1. Verify extension cord See: Extension Cords page 18
2. What is the motor doing when the switch is turned on (nothing, humming, tries to turn on but shuts off, tripping of circuit breaker) It could be a dirty air filter, a faulty start, or a tripped/damage power supply circuit breaker.

Nothing happens when the power switch is turned on:

• No power
• Tripped Power Supply Circuit Breaker
• Tripped Overload Protector on machine (see: Overload Protector (Thermal) Tips page 18.

Humming or strange noises from the motor or gearbox:

• Damage motor or gearbox. Most damages are from not using air filters, or not cleaning and replacing dirty air filters
• Water in the motor

Tries to turn on but shuts off:

• Power supply Circuit Breaker verify if correct see Power Supply
• Too long or thin extension cords see Extension
• For Overload Protector (Thermal) issues see Overload Protector (Thermal)
• Low voltage at the machine see Power Supply

Tripping of Circuit Breaker:

• If tripping while starting the machine
• Circuit Breaker issue: weak, damaged, to low amperage b) If tripping while cutting any material: Incorrect blade for the material being cut.
• What are you cutting?
• Wet/dry?
• If cutting dry give the blade a chance to cool off and breathe. The heat will build up and can affect the performance of the motor as the blade lose tension.
• What blade is being used?
• Use the correct blade for the material being cut.
• What cutting method is being used? Change cutting methods.
• May need to go to an Authorized Service Center to diagnose and repair

Belt Replacement

1. Turn off the saw before proceeding any further.
2. Loosen and remove the belt guard screws, then remove the belt guard.
3. Leave the blade tight in position and use your hand to hold the blade shaft tightly. Now loosen the pulley lock screw on the blade shaft pulley.
4. Carefully loosen the pulley and belt outward slightly, so there is a little slack in the belt.
5. Remove the old belt and replace with the new belt.
6. To reassemble, follow steps in reverse order.

Bent Tensioning
Over time the CTC705 belts will need to be re-tensioned. This is a normal maintenance item that must be performed with any machine utilizing micro-v belts. With usage the micro-v belts will stretch and wear which increases the length of the belt and decreases the belt tension.

1. Unplug the saw from the power supply.
2. Verify that the Power Switch is in the OFF position
3. Remove the belt guard (see #1 in the Figure: Belt Tensioning) by removing all six (6) Belt Guard Retaining screws.
4. Press down on the top middle of the belt. (see #2 in the Figure: Belt Tensioning).
   • 3/8” downward movement indicates the ideal belt tension.
   • If the belt can be moved more than 3/8” downward the belt will need to be tensioned
   • If the belt moves less than 3/8” downward the belt is too tight and needs to be loosen
   • The Z shaped bracket that tensions the motor needs to be tightened. Do this by tightening the Bolt to Tension the motor (turn clockwise).
5. Inspect the belt for damaged, cracks, dry rot, or frayed edges. If the belt is damaged in any way replace it immediately for best performance.
6. Loosen the four (4) motor retaining screws under the cutting head. Loosen only enough to move the motor (see #3 in the Figure: Belt Tensioning). NOTE: Do not remove these screws.
7. Changing the belt Tension
   • If the belt needs to be tensioned turn the screw for the Belt Tensioner (see #4 in the Figure: Belt Tensioning) clockwise until 3/8” of deflection is reached in the belt when pushed down on the middle. This will move the motor away from the blade shaft.
   • If the belt needs to be loose turn the screw for the Belt Tensioner (see #4 in the Figure: Belt Tensioning) counter-clockwise until 3/8” of deflection is reached in the belt when pushed down on the middle. This will move the motor towards the blade shaft.
8. Tighten the four (4) Motor four (4) motor retaining screws under the cutting head (see #3 in the Figure: Belt Tensioning).
9. Reinstall the Belt Guard and tighten all six (6) of the Belt Guard Retaining screws with lock washers and flat washers (see #1 in the Figure: Belt Tensioning).

Belt Replacement

1. Unplug the saw from the power supply.

2. Verify that the Power Switch is in the OFF position

3. Remove the belt guard (see #1 in the Figure: Belt Replacement) by removing all six (6) Belt Guard Retaining screws.

4. Loosen the four (4) motor retaining screws under the cutting head. Loosen only enough to move the motor (see #3 in the Figure: Belt Replacement). NOTE: Do not remove these screws.

5. Move the motor towards the Blade Shaft by turning the Motor Tensioning Screw (see #4 in the Figure: Belt Replacement). clockwise until the motor does not move any more. NOTE: It may be necessary to push the motor towards the blade shaft if it does not move freely.

6. Remove the old belt from the pulleys (see #2 in the Figure: Belt Tensioning).

7. Clean out the inside of the belt guard and pulleys of any worn rubber from the old belt or any other debris.

8. Place the new belt on the pulleys (see #2 in the Figure: Belt Tensioning) taking care to
   ensure that the micro-v of the belt is in the micro-v of both the motor and blade shaft pulleys.

9. Tension the belt by moving the motor away from the blade by turning the Belt Tensioner Screw
   Clockwise (see #4 in the Figure: Belt Tensioning) until 3/8” of deflection is reached in the belt when pushed down on the middle.
   NOTE: If less than 3/8” deflection is in the belt it the belt has too much tension and the motor will need to be moved towards the blade shaft by turning the screw for the Belt Tensioner (see #4 in the Figure: Belt Tensioning) counterclockwise until 3/8” of deflection is reached. 10. Verify the Pulley Alignment with a straight edge.

   • Line up the straight edge along the outside face of the motor and blade shaft pulley as shown in Figure 1.
   • Misalignment will show up as a gap between the pulley face and the straight edge.
   • Make sure that the width of the outside land is equal on the motor and blade shaft pulleys.
   • If one of the pulleys is not aligned to the other, it is due to:
   • The motor pulley and the blade shaft are not parallel. [See figure 1]
   • Pulley will need to be moved to align.
   • The pulleys are not located properly on the shafts. [See figure 2]
   • Motor is not straight in the Motor Adjustment Slots

Main Causes of Belt Failures
Premature Belt failure can be attributed to the following issues: Tension (too much or too little), Pulley Misalignment, Damaged Pulleys, Improper Handling or Storage, Incorrect Blade Specification for Material Being Cut, and Cutting Too Deep.

Belt Breakage

| Too Much Tension| Re‐tension Belts
Excessive Shock Load| Reduce Load/ Check Blade Specification
Pulley Out Of Round| Replace Pulley

Burning of Belt

| Too Little Belt Tension| Increase Belt Tension
Excessive Load

(Cutting Full Depth)

| For Best Performance Only Cut only 1‐/2” to 2” Per Pass
Containments On Belts| Replace Belts and Find Source of Containments
Incorrect Blade Specification| Replace Blade with One Designed For Material Being Cut
Symptom| Possible Cause| Corrective Action
Belt Tearing/Ripping| Pulley Misalignment| Align Pulleys
Belt Rolling Off Pulley| Pulley Misalignment| Align Pulleys

Belt Cracking

| Extremely Low Temperature at Startup| Warm Machine Before Use
Exposure To Chemicals or Lubricates| Locate Source of Containments and Replace Belts.

Brush Replacement
Brushes will wear with usage and is part of the machine’s basic maintenance. Replace the brushes when the motor begins to lose power. Brushes typically need to be replaced During the life of the saw. Replace the brushes when the motor begins to lose power, or if the motor has gotten wet, or the motor is slow to get up to speed, or any strange noises come from the motor, or if the motor is experiencing internal sparking. Replace the brushes when the length reaches 6.6mm (1/4”). It is normal for the brushes to wear with usage.

Dimensions :13mm (H) x 6.25mm (T) x 20mm (L)
