  If your Performax Power Tool is blowing fuses or tripping circuit breakers, there are several potential causes. It could be due to overloading from binding, in which case you should clean around the wheels and shaft or replace the bearings. Other possible causes include a defective plug (replace the plug), a defective cord (replace the cord), or a defective switch (replace the switch). Also, ensure the motor is wired for the correct line voltage as per the wiring diagram. For faulty internal wiring, contact an authorized Sears Service Center.

  If your Performax Power Tool buffer won’t start, there are several potential reasons. First, check for a blown line fuse or a tripped circuit breaker; replace the fuse with one of the proper size or reset the breaker. Also, check the power supply for correct voltage and correct it if needed. A defective switch or a blown capacitor could also be the cause, so consider replacing these components.

  If the motor of your Performax Power Tool is overheating, it could be due to excessive pressure required for buffing, in which case you should replace the wheel. Also, ensure you are buffing only on the face of the wheel, not the side. If the motor is not turning freely (without power), clean around the wheels and shaft, and consider replacing the bearings.
