nected wires.
6. Replace switch.
7. Test/replace.
8. Adjust/replace centrifugal switch/contact points if
available.
9. Test/repair/replace.
1. Take a lighter cut.
2. Decrease feed rate/cutting speed (Page.27).
3. Sharpen/replace blades.
4. Allow motor to cool, reset overload if necessary,
and reduce depth of cut.
5. Clean/tension/replace
(Page.48).
6. Wire motor correctly (Page.58).
7. Replace broken or slipping gears.
8. Replace loose pulley/key/shaft.
9. Adjust/replace centrifugal switch/contact points.
10. Test by rotating shaft; rotational grinding/loose
shaft requires bearing replacement.

with blue thread-locking fluid.
2. Resharpen/replace knives; set knife alignment/
height correctly.
3. Replace chip deflector and realign.
