TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Cause Solution Excessive noise 1. Motor 2. Pulley set screw is loose 1. Have motor checked by qualified service technician. Repair service is available at your nearest Authorized Service Center. 2. Tighten set screw. Motor fails to develop full power. NOTE: Low voltage (Power output of motor decreases rapidly with decreases 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.) 1. Circuit overloaded with lights, appliances, and other motors 2. Undersize wires or circuit too long 3. General overloading of power company facilities 1. Do not use other appliances or motors on same circuit when using the jointer. 2. Increase wire sizes, or reduce length of wiring. See "Motor Specifications and Electrical Requirements" section. 3. Request a voltage check from the power company. Motor starts slowly or fails to come to full speed 1. Windings burned out or open 2. Drive belt tension too high 3. Defective start capacitor 1. Have motor repaired or replaced. 2. Adjust belt tension. 3. Have start capacitor replaced. Motor overheats 1. Motor overloaded 2. Improper cooling. (Air circulation restricted through motor due to sawdust accumulating inside of motor) 1. Feed work slower into knives. 2. Clean out sawdust to provide normal air circulation through motor. See "Maintenance and Lubrication." Motor stalls (resulting in blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers.) 1. Voltage too low to permit motor to reach operating speed 2. Fuses or circuit breakers do not have sufficient capacity 3. Circuit overloaded with lights, appliances and other motors 1. Request voltage check from the power company. 2. Install proper size fuses or circuit breakers. See "Electrical Connection" section. 3. Do not use other appliances or motors on same circuit when using the jointer. Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers 1. Motor overloaded 2. Fuses or circuit breakers do not have sufficient capacity 3. Circuit overloaded with lights, appliances and other motors 1. Feed work slower. 2. Install proper size fuses or circuit breakers. See "Electrical Connection" section. 3. Do not use other appliances or motors on same circuit when using the jointer. 35
