Trouble shooting
continued:
The reel motor stops on startup
This is typically caused from using an undersized cord that is to long. This also may be caused by improper belt
tension (to tight).
Suction from the vacuum is weak
The suction is critical for proper cutting. Check to make sure there is no blockage in shroud, hose and around
the vacuum housing of the impeller. Clean or change the upper filter bag in the vacuum and make sure all
connection are correct.
Excess material buildup on the brush & tumbler barrel
Clean brush and barrel more often and apply a light coat of cooking oil spray to brush to keep the cut material
from sticking.
The material comes out of the machine under processed
This may be due to excessive machine angle causing the material to flow to fast through the barrel or not
enough vacuum. Check for proper vacuum. Lower the jacks and reduce the machine angle to get the proper
flow rate. You may also need to adjust for proper barrel speed for the material being cutting.
The reel motor won’t start
This is most likely due to hardened residue buildup, poor adjustment or lack of lubricant. Residue left on blades
will harden and cause the motor.
The start button for the blade lights the LED indicator however the motor will not start.
This is a safety feature that protects the motors. The motor has overheated and needs to cool down to reset.
The motor will overheat if the blades need to be cleaned/adjusted or possibly incorrect belt tension. Make
sure the problem is resolved before continuing. It may take several minutes to reset.
