Why does my Eastwood Tool motor overheat?

What to do if my Eastwood Tool does not run when the switch is turned on?
If your Eastwood Tool doesn't run when switched on, first check the 120 VAC input plug connection to ensure it's properly connected. Also, the Contour SCT operates on a 15 Amp minimum circuit, and a tripped circuit breaker could be the cause. A 20 Amp circuit is strongly recommended.
Why does my Eastwood Tool motor run too slowly or develop low power?
