Why does my Powermatic Power Tool keep tripping the circuit breaker?
If your Powermatic Power Tool keeps tripping the circuit breaker or blowing fuses, make sure it's on a correctly sized circuit. If the circuit size is correct, a loose electrical lead might be the issue. Also, verify the amp setting on the motor starter.
How to troubleshoot Powermatic Power Tool that will not start?
To troubleshoot a Powermatic Power Tool that won't start or restart, first, check that the unit is properly connected to a power source, the on-button is fully engaged, and the stop-button is disengaged. Also, examine the motor starter for burned or failed components. If damage is found, replace the starter. If there's no visible damage, have the starter tested. If you have a voltmeter, verify the incoming voltage at 220+/-20 and then check the voltage between the starter and motor at 220+/-20. Incorrect incoming voltage indicates a power supply problem; incorrect voltage between the starter and motor indicates a starter problem; correct voltage between the starter and motor indicates a motor problem.
What to do if my Powermatic Power Tool motor overheats?
If your Powermatic Power Tool motor overheats, clean any accumulated dust or debris from the motor to ensure proper air circulation. Allow the motor to cool completely before attempting to restart it.
Why does my Powermatic Power Tool frequently trip?
If your Powermatic Power Tool frequently trips, it could be due to taking cuts that are too deep. Try making lighter cuts. If the cut depth isn't the issue, check the amp setting on the overload relay and match it to the full load amps on the motor plate. If the amp setting is correct, there might be a loose electrical lead.
What to do if overload automatic reset has not reset on my Powermatic Power Tool?
