Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready 

for regular operation. The test run consists of checking the following: 

1) The motor powers up and runs in the correct direction 

2) the stop button safety feature works correctly.

If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop

using the machine immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page 41.
