failed components. If damage is

 

found, replace motor starter.

 

If you have access to a voltmeter, you

 

can separate a starter failure from a

 

motor failure by first, verifying

 

incoming voltage at 220+/-20 and

 

second, checking the voltage

 

between starter and motor at 220+/-

 

20.

 

If incoming voltage is incorrect, you

 

have a power supply problem.

 

If voltage between starter and motor

 

is incorrect, you have a starter

 

problem.

 

If voltage between starter and motor

 

is correct, you have a motor problem.

 

 

Motor failure.

If electric motor is suspect, you have

 

two options: Have a qualified

 

electrican test the motor for function

 

or remove the motor and take it to an

 

electric motor repair shop and have it

 

tested.

 

 

Machine incorrectly wired.

Double check to confirm all electrical

 

connections are correct. Refer to

 

appropriate wiring diagrams on pages

201HH specifications

The Powermatic 201HH is a highly regarded 8-inch jointer, renowned for its robust construction, precision, and advanced technology. This machine is particularly well-suited for both professional woodworkers and serious hobbyists who demand the best performance from their tools.

One of the standout features of the Powermatic 201HH is the Helical Cutterhead. This technology distinguishes it from standard jointers featuring straight knives. The helical design incorporates numerous small, square inserts that can be rotated or replaced when worn, significantly extending the overall life of the cutterhead. The helical arrangement reduces noise during operation and provides a much smoother finish on the workpiece, minimizing the need for additional sanding.

Adjustability is another area where the Powermatic 201HH excels. It boasts an easy-to-use tables adjustment mechanism that allows users to fine-tune the infeed and outfeed tables for precise jointing. This feature is essential to ensure a perfectly flat and even surface on all types of wood. The large tables, measuring 74 inches in length, provide ample support for larger workpieces, making it easier to manage and maneuver materials during operation.

The 201HH also comes equipped with a powerful 3 HP motor that drives the machine with reliability and performance. This motor is a key component in delivering consistent power and maintaining speed even under heavier workloads. Coupled with a strong base and solid construction, the jointer maintains stability during operation, which contributes to both safety and precision.

Added convenience comes in the form of an integrated dust collection port, which facilitates cleaner operation by effectively managing sawdust and shavings. This reduces cleanup time and creates a more pleasant working environment.

Moreover, the design of the Powermatic 201HH incorporates safety features, including a push block that assists in guiding stock through the machine, minimizing the risk of injury. The solid build quality and attention to detail in the engineering provide confidence to users that they are working with a reliable tool that will stand the test of time.

In summary, the Powermatic 201HH offers an impressive array of features including a helical cutterhead, extensive adjustability, a powerful motor, efficient dust collection, and strong safety measures. These characteristics make it a top choice for anyone looking to achieve exceptional results in their woodworking projects.
