fault.
3. Plug/receptacle at fault/wired
wrong.
4. Motor connection wired wrong.
5. Thermal overload relay has
tripped.
6. Wall circuit breaker tripped.
7. Wiring open/has high resistance.
8. Start capacitor at fault.
9. Spindle switch/ON button at fault.
10. Motor at fault.
1. Twist the STOP button clockwise until it pops out to
reset it.
2. Ensure power supply is ON/has correct voltage.
3. Test for good contacts; correct the wiring.
4. Correct motor wiring connections (Page 46).
5. Reset; adjust trip load dial if necessary; replace.
6. Ensure circuit size is correct/replace weak breaker.
7. Check/fix broken, disconnected, or corroded wires.
8. Test/replace if faulty.
9. Replace.
10. Test/repair/replace.
Machine stalls or seems
underpowered.
