My hawk G4 if beginning to vibrate. Bad enough that I can't place anything on the stand without it falling on the floor. Does anyone know what may be causing this sudden vibration? I thought I would try myself to correct this problem before I called RBI. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much,
Bibbs, I dont own a Hawk but I would check all the internal moving parts that you can get at to see if something is coming loose. Did it all of a sudden start to vibrate or has it always vibrated? Does it vibrate at all speeds? Tension tight enough? Your owner's manual may have a "trouble shooting guide". Maybe another Hawk owner will step in here and give you some advice. Good luck with it.
Did you kick the legs of the stand?? All four legs must be sitting on the ground evenly. The nut that holds the cam on the bottom of the saw. You can see the arm going up and down. Make sure that nut is tight.
I'm not at all satisfied with my G4. I also have a vibration and my legs are all solid on the floor. Holding your had on the table it doesn't feel too bad but after sawing for awhile the vibrating seems worse and what happens it vibrates away from the wall and then the legs aren't all tight . I then have to push it back against the wall. If I saw for 10 minutes it will again work itself away from the wall.
