Why does the Jet Dust Collector motor not start and the fuse blows?

If the Jet Dust Collector's motor won't start and the fuse blows or the circuit breaker trips, it could be due to several reasons. First, too many machines might be on the same circuit, so connect the dust collector to a dedicated circuit. A short circuit in the line cord or plug could also be the cause; inspect the cord or plug for damaged insulation and shorted wires. Another possibility is a short circuit in the motor or loose connections; check all motor connections for loose or shorted terminals or worn insulation. Finally, the fuse or circuit breaker in the power line might be incorrect. If that's the case, install the correct fuse or circuit breaker at the power source.
