      If your MasterCraft Power Tool won't start, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the power cord is properly plugged in. If it is, check the fuse or circuit breaker, and replace the fuse or reset the breaker if tripped. If the cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician. Finally, misaligned guides may also prevent starting, in which case you should have the switch replaced by a qualified service technician.

      If your MasterCraft Power Tool does not reach its full speed, it could be due to a couple of reasons. The extension cord might be too light or too long; replace it with an adequate cord. Alternatively, there might be low house voltage, in which case you should contact your electric company.
