What to do if my Shop Fox Power Tool machine does not start?
- NNicholas BrownAug 12, 2025
If your Shop Fox Power Tool machine does not start or a breaker trips, several factors could be at play. First, ensure that the power supply is switched ON and has the correct voltage. Check the plug and receptacle for good contacts and correct wiring. Verify that the motor connection is wired correctly. If the thermal overload relay has tripped, reset it, and adjust the trip load dial if necessary, or replace it. Make sure the wall circuit breaker is the correct size and replace it if it's weak. Inspect for any broken, disconnected, or corroded wires and fix them. Test and replace the start capacitor if it's faulty. Replace the spindle switch if it's at fault. Finally, test, repair, or replace the motor if necessary.
