To get the Shop Fox W1852 motor running again after it stopped while turning at high RPM, follow these steps:

1. Clear all setup tools away from the machine.
2. Connect the machine to the power supply.
3. Set the spindle direction switch to neutral or "O" position and turn the speed control knob fully counterclockwise.
4. Squeeze the tab on the bottom of the Emergency Stop button, lift the button to open the switch cover, and press the green ON button to start the machine.

If the machine does not start, ensure the Emergency Stop button safety feature is not engaged.
