TROUBLE
SHOOTING
-- MOTOR
NOTE:
Motors used on wood-working
tools are particularly
susceptible
to the accumulation
of sawdust
and wood
chips
and
should
be blown
out
or "vacuumed"
frequently
to
prevent
interference
with
normal
motor
ventilation.
TROUBLE
Excessivenoise.
Motor
fails to devegop
full power.
(Power
output
of motor
decreases
rapidly
with
decrease in
voltage
at motor
terminals.
For example,
a reduction
of 10% in voltage causes
a reduction
of 19% in
maximum
power
output
of which the motor
is
capable,
while
a reduction
of 20% in voltage
causes
a reduction
of 36% in
maximum
power
output.)
PROBABLE
CAUSE
1. Motor.
