TROUBLE
SHOOTING
-- SAW 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
Excessive noise.
Motor
fails to develop
full power.
NOTE:
LOW VOLTAGE:
(Power
output
of motor.
decreases
rapidly
with
decrease
in voltage
at
motor
terminals.
For
example,
a reduction
of
10% in voltage
causes
a reduction
of 19% in
maximum
power
output
of which
the motor
is
capable,
and a reduction
of 20% in voltage
causes
a reduction
of 36% in
maximum
power
output.)
PROBABLE CAUSE
1. Motor.
1. Circuit
