CORRECTIVE.ACTION
1. Connect dust collector properly (Page.27).
2. Rotate E-Stop Button to reset. Replace if at fault.
3. Ensure correct power supply voltage and circuit
size.
4. Ensure circuit is sized correctly and free of shorts.
Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse.
5. Allow motor to cool, reset overload if necessary.
6. Reset circuit breaker on switch.
7. Replace battery; stay in signal range (Page.6).
8. Check/fix broken, disconnected, or corroded wires.
9. Adjust/replace centrifugal switch/contact points.
10. Test/replace.
11. Test/replace.
12. Replace.
13. Test/repair/replace.
1. Allow motor to cool, reset overload if necessary.
2. Clear blockages, seal leaks, use smooth-wall duct,
eliminate bends, close other branches (Page.27).
3. Clean canister filter (Page. 40); replace canister
filter (Page.41).
4. Move closer to machine/redesign ducting layout/
upgrade dust collector.
5. Test/repair/replace.
6. Adjust/replace centrifugal switch/contact points if
available.
7. Test by rotating shaft; rotational grinding/loose
shaft requires bearing replacement.
1. Inspect/replace damaged bolts/nuts, and retighten
with thread-locking fluid.
2. Fix/replace fan cover; replace loose/damaged fan.
3. Tighten/replace.
4. Adjust/replace centrifugal switch if available.
5. Replace.
6. Test by rotating shaft; rotational grinding/loose
shaft requires bearing replacement.
7. Test with dial indicator. Replace motor if damaged.
1. Stabilize dust collector; lock casters.
2. Disconnect dust collector from power. Inspect
impeller for dents, bends, or loose fins. Replace
impeller if damaged.
3. Secure impeller; replace motor and impeller as a
set if motor shaft and impeller hub are damaged.
