Test.Run
Once the assembly is complete, test run the machine to
make sure it runs properly for regular operations.
The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The
motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2) the safety
disabling mechanism on the switch works correctly.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source
of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine
immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page.37.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech
Support at (360) 734-3482 for assistance.
