Troubleshooting
Possible Solution
1. Remove switch disabling pin.
2. Ensure correct power supply voltage/circuit size.
3. Test for good contacts; correct wiring (Page 80).
4. Ensure circuit is free of shorts. Reset circuit breaker
or replace fuse.
5. Correct motor wiring connections (Page 80).
6. Test/replace if at fault.
7. Adjust centrifugal switch/clean contact points.
Replace either if at fault.
8. Fix broken wires or disconnected/corroded
connections.
9. Replace switch.
10. Replace motor.
1. Use correct blade (Page 32); reduce feed rate or
depth of cut.
2. Only cut wood/ensure moisture is below 20%.
3. Reduce feed pressure and speed.
4. Use jointer to straighten edge of workpiece that
slides up against fence; adjust fence parallel with
blade.
5. Use correct blade for type of cut. Use sharp blade
(Page 34).
6. Clean/tension/replace belt (Page 78); ensure
pulleys are aligned.
7. Correct motor wiring connections (Page 80).
8. Test for good contacts/correct wiring (Page 80).
9. Tighten/replace loose pulley/shaft.
10. Clean motor, let cool, and reduce workload.
11. Test/repair/replace.
12. Move machine closer to power supply; use shorter
extension cord.
13. Adjust centrifugal switch/clean contact points.
Replace either if at fault.
14. Replace motor.
