      Several factors can cause the fuse to blow or the circuit breaker to trip on your PowerTec Grinder: * The motor might be overloaded, so reduce pressure on the workpiece. * The electrical circuit breaker might be overloaded; reduce the number of items on the circuit. * The fuse or circuit breaker might be incorrect; replace it with the correct one. * A defective cord, plug, or switch could be creating a short circuit; replace these parts with new ones. * An undersized or excessively long extension cord might be in use; use the correct size. * The grinding wheels might be blocked; unplug the machine and remove any obstruction.
