Hi, I've recently bought a 10" single phase wadkin saw that I can't start more than twice without blowing the fuse. the previous owner had 'cured' the problem by substituting a short length of steel bar of the same diameter. This is a bodge too far even for me, I'm no electrician so if anyone has any ideas on what's causing the problem I'd appreciate the feedback. I notice that inside the start box there are 3 adjustment knobs and the words Full Load Amps, there's a small window with an indicator bar that seems to be set at 16 amps, could this be relevant?
