SETUP
Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to
make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular opera-
tion.
The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The
motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2) the safety
disabling mechanism on the switch works correctly, and 3)
the OFF button safety feature works correctly.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source
of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine
immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page 57.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech
Support at (360) 734-3482 for assistance.
To test run the machine, do these steps:
1. Make sure you understand the safety instructions
at the beginning of the manual, and verify that the
machine is set up properly.
2. Ensure all tools and objects used during setup are
cleared away from the machine.
3. Connect the machine to the power source.
4. Verify that the machine is operating correctly by
turning the switch disabling key (Figure 23) to "1"
and turning the machine ON.
— When operating correctly, the machine runs
smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing
noises.
— Investigate and correct strange or unusual noises
or vibrations before operating the machine further.
Always disconnect the machine from power when
investigating or correcting potential problems.
5. Press the OFF button to stop the machine.
6. WITHOUT resetting the OFF button, press the ON
button. The machine should not start.
— If the machine does not start, the OFF button
safety feature is working correctly.
