breaker trips.

1.  plug/receptacle is at fault or wired incorrectly.
2.  Motor connection wired incorrectly.
3.  power supply is at fault/switched oFF.

4.  Motor on/oFF switch is at fault.
5.  Wiring is open/has high resistance.

6.  Start capacitor is at fault.
7.  Motor is at fault.

1.  test for good contact or correct the wiring.
2.  Correct motor wiring connections (

page 51).

3.  ensure hot lines have correct voltage on all legs and 

main power supply is switched on.

4.  replace faulty on/oFF switch.
5.  Check  for  broken  wires  or  corroded/disconnected 

connections, and repair/replace as necessary.

6.  test/replace if faulty.
7.  repair/replace.

Machine 
stalls or is 
underpowered.

1.  Wrong workpiece material (wood).

2.  processing speed too fast for task.

3.  low power supply voltage.
4.  run capacitor is at fault.
5.  v-belt slipping.

6.  plug/receptacle is at fault.
7.  Motor connection is wired incorrectly.
8.  Blade is slipping on wheels.

9.  Motor bearings are at fault.

10. Motor has overheated.
11. Motor is at fault.

1.  Use wood with correct moisture content, without glues, 

and little pitch/resins.

2.  decrease processing speed.  See 

Basic cutting Tips 

on 

page 28.

3.  ensure all hot lines have correct voltage on all legs.
4.  repair/replace.
5.  replace  bad  v-belt,  align  pulleys,  and  re-tension 

(

page 46).

6.  test for good contacts and correct wiring.
7.  Correct motor wiring connections (

page 51).

8.  Adjust blade tracking (

page 20) and tension (page 24)

to factory specifications.

9.  test  by  rotating  shaft;  rotational  grinding/loose  shaft 

requires bearing replacement.
