Test Run
Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation.
The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers up and runs correctly, 2) the stop button safety feature works correctly, and 3) the motor turns the correct direction (machine is not wired out of phase).
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 39.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech Support at (570)
