-- MOTOR
NOTE:
Motors
used on wood-working
tools
are particularly
susceptible
to the accumulation
of sawdust and wood chips
and
should
be blown
out
or
"vacuumed"
frequently
to
prevent
interference
with
normal
motor
ventilation.
TROUBLE
PROBABLE
CAUSE
Excessive noise.
1. Motor.
Motor
fails to develop
full power.
(Power
output
of motor
decreases
rapidly with decrease in
voltage at motor
terminals.
For example,
a reduction
of !0% in voltage
causes
a reduction
of 19% in
maximum
power
output
of which
the motor
is
capable, while a reduction
of 20% in voltage causes
a reduction
of 36% in
maximum
power
output.)
