  The fuse might be blowing or the circuit breaker tripping on your MasterForce Grinder due to several reasons: * The motor may be overloaded, so reduce the pressure on the workpiece. * The electrical circuit could be overloaded; reduce the number of items on the circuit. * You might be using the wrong fuse or circuit breaker; replace it with the correct one. * The extension cord may be undersized or excessively long; use the correct size. * The grinding wheels may be blocked; unplug the machine and remove the obstruction.
