Why my National Flooring Equipment Floor Machine will not start?

  Cory WilsonJul 31, 2025
  There are several reasons why your National Flooring Equipment Floor Machine might not be starting. It could be due to insufficient power, so ensure you are using a properly rated extension cord. Alternatively, check the capacitor leads to ensure they have a good connection. Another possibility is that the overload button on the motor has been tripped; this button is located on the bottom of the electric box on the motor, and if tripped, you should hold it in until it clicks. Lastly, a faulty ON/OFF switch could be the culprit, and it would need to be replaced.

  If the motor of your National Flooring Equipment Floor Machine is heating up, the motor shaft may be binding. Remove the wheels and cover to inspect the isolators. Also, inspect the cutting head bearing and eccentric to ensure they are not binding.

  If your National Flooring Equipment Floor Machine isn't moving under power, it could be due to several reasons. First, make sure the wheels are in the “engage mode” by installing the wheel pins. If that's not the issue, inspect for a broken belt or chain by removing the wheels and bottom cover; replace or repair as needed. Finally, check the control handle mechanism for any failures and repair or replace it as necessary.

Why National Flooring Equipment Floor Machine motor is humming, but machine does not run?

  Stephanie LoveAug 17, 2025
  If the motor in your National Flooring Equipment Floor Machine is humming, but the machine isn't running or the breakers are blown, it could be due to failed isolators. Remove the wheels and bottom cover to inspect them. It may also be caused by failed capacitors, which would need replacing. Another possibility is dirty motor start switch connections. To resolve this, remove the fan cover and fan, then clean the motor start switch (set of points) with an emery board or cloth between the points before reassembling.
