Why won't my Powermatic 54HH start or keeps tripping the breaker?
There are several reasons why your Powermatic Power Tool might not start, restart, or repeatedly trip the circuit breaker: * **No incoming power:** Verify the unit is connected to power, the on-button is completely pushed in, and the stop-button is disengaged. * **Building circuit breaker trips or fuse blows:** Ensure the jointer is on a circuit of the correct size. If the circuit size is correct, there may be a loose electrical lead. Check the amp setting on the motor starter. * **Motor overheated:** Clean the motor of dust or debris to allow proper air circulation. Allow the motor to cool down before restarting.
