available.
9. Test/replace if at fault.
10. Reset; adjust trip load dial if necessary; replace.
11. Test all legs for power/replace.
12. Test/repair/replace.
1. Reduce feed rate/depth of cut.
2. Only cut wood/ensure moisture is below 20%.
3. Allow motor to cool, reset overload if necessary,
and reduce depth of cut.
4. Clean/tension/replace belt(s) (Page.41); align pul-
leys (Page.42).
5. Sharpen/replace knives (Page. 31), or replace
inserts (Page.34).
6. Clear blockages in dust chute/ducting, ensure dust
collector is operating efficiently.
7. Wire motor correctly.
8. Adjust/replace centrifugal switch/contact points if
available.
9. Test/repair/replace.
10. Tighten loose pulley; replace pulley/shaft if dam-
aged.
11. Test all legs for power/replace.
12. Test/repair/replace.
1. Inspect/tighten loose bolts/nuts; replace damaged
components.
2. Tension/replace belts as a matched set (Page.41).
3. Re-align/replace shaft, pulley set screw, and key.
