If your Powermatic Power Tool drill press won't start but the power light is on, make sure the safety key is installed. If it still doesn't work, the switch may be malfunctioning and should be tested and replaced if necessary.
How to fix a Powermatic PM2820EVS Power Tool drill press that will not start (power light is OFF)?
If your Powermatic Power Tool drill press won't start and the power light is off, begin by checking all plug connections to ensure they are secure. If the issue persists, inspect the main panel for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker; replace the fuse or reset the breaker as needed. Finally, examine the power cord for any damage and replace it if necessary.
Why does my Powermatic PM2820EVS Power Tool motor stall?
If your Powermatic Power Tool motor stalls, it could be due to several reasons. You might be overfeeding the bit, so try reducing the feed rate. A dull bit can also cause stalling, so sharpen or replace it. In some cases, the motor may not be reaching its running speed or the motor itself may be malfunctioning. If you suspect a motor issue, have it tested by a qualified service center and repaired or replaced as necessary.
What causes a Powermatic PM2820EVS drill to heat up and burn the wood?
If your Powermatic Power Tool drill or tool heats up or burns the work piece, try the following: reduce the speed, retract the drill bit frequently to remove chips, resharpen or replace the drill bit if it is dull, or increase the feed rate if you are feeding the bit too slowly.
Why is my Powermatic PM2820EVS making a noisy operation?
Noisy operation in your Powermatic Power Tool can stem from excessive vibration or a dry spindle. To address excessive vibration, tighten any loose parts and ensure the drill press sits evenly on a level floor; secure it to the floor or a plywood base. For a dry spindle, lubricate it to reduce noise.
Why does my Powermatic Power Tool drill bit wander?
If your Powermatic Power Tool drill bit wanders, the bit may be sharpened incorrectly, bent, or not installed properly. Try to resharpen the bit correctly, replace it if bent, or reinstall the chuck or bit.
Why Powermatic PM2820EVS drill press does not come up to speed?
If your Powermatic Power Tool drill press does not come up to speed, the extension cord might be too light or too long; replace it with a cord of adequate size and length. Low current could also be the issue, in which case you should contact a qualified electrician. Finally, a motor malfunction could be the cause, so have the motor tested by a qualified service center and repaired or replaced if necessary.
What does ERR-5 mean on a Powermatic PM2820EVS?
ERR-5 on your Powermatic Power Tool indicates clutch movement during spindle running. Check that the Hi-Lo lever is properly engaged. Do not attempt to change the lever while the spindle is running. Press the off button to clear the error code, then press on to restart.
What does ERR-8 mean on a Powermatic PM2820EVS Power Tool?
ERR-8 on your Powermatic Power Tool indicates the heat sink has overheated. Allow it to cool down. Press the off button to clear the error code, then press on to restart.
What causes a Powermatic PM2820EVS Power Tool drill bit to bind?
If your Powermatic Power Tool drill bit binds in the work piece, it could be because the work piece is pinching the bit. Try supporting or clamping the work piece. It could also be due to an excessive feed rate, so decrease it. Finally, check that the chuck jaws are tight and tighten them if necessary.
