IF THE MATERIAL DOES NOT FEED PROPERLY, CHECK FOR:
• dull blades: rotate or replace as necessary (refer to Changing Blades section).
• excess clogging in the dust hood (refer to Attach Dust Chute in the Assembly and Adjustments section).
• a broken V-Belt (refer to Replacing V-Belt in the Maintenance section).
IF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPS REPEATEDLY:
• dull blades could be present. Dull blades can cause motor overloading. Rotate or replace as necessary (refer to
Changing Blades section).
• reduce the depth of cut. An overly aggressive cut could cause motor overloading (refer to Depth of Cut in the
Operation section)
IF THE UNIT DOES NOT RUN, CHECK TO SEE:
• if the unit is plugged in. Ensure unit is plugged into the appropriate outlet (refer to Electrical Information).
• if the circuit breaker needs to be reset.
• if the motor brushes are depleted. Replace as necessary (refer to Brush Inspection and Replacement under the
Maintenance section).
