Hunter’s Meat Cutting Bandsaw - 21 -

XIII. Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM
Motor will not start.
Motor will not start; fuses or
circuit breakers blow.
Motor fails to develop full
power (power output of
motor decreases rapidly
with decrease in voltage at
motor terminals).
Motor overheats.
Motor stalls (resulting in
blown fuses or tripped cir-
cuit).
Machine slows when using.
Blade does not run evenly
on wheels or runs off.
Blade slows when cutting.
Blade makes a squealing
noise, especially on start up.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Check power line for proper voltage.
2. Inspect all lead connections on motor for loose or open
connections.
3. Check voltage at motor junction box.
4. Replace capacitor.
5. Contact customer service for further instructions.
1. Inspect cord or plug for damaged insulation and shorted
wires.
2. Inspect all connections on motor for loose or shorted ter-
minals or worn insulation.
3. Install correct fuses or circuit breakers.
1. Reduce load on power line.
2. Increase wire sizes or reduce length of wire.
3. Request a power check from the power company.
1. Reduce load on motor.
2. Clean out motor to provide normal air circulation.
1. Inspect connections on motor for loose or shorted termi-
nals or worn insulation.
2Correct the low voltage conditions.
3. Install correct fuses or circuit breakers.
4. Reduce load on motor.
Feed slower.
Adjust tracking.
1. Tighten V-Belt.
2. Replace V-Belt.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Low voltage.
2. Open circuit in motor or loose
connections.
3. Worn or defective switch.
4. Faulty starting capacitor.
5. Centrifugal switch out of adjust-
ment.
1. Short circuit in line cord or plug.
2. Short circuit in motor or loose
connections.
3. Incorrect fuses or circuit break-
ers in power line.
1. Power line overloaded with
lights, appliances, and other
motors.
2. Undersized wires or circuits too
long.
3. General overloading of power
company facilities.
1. Motor overloaded.
2. Air circulation through the motor
restricted.
1. Short circuit in motor or loose
connections.
2. Low voltage.
3. Incorrect fuses or circuit break-
ers in power line.
4. Motor overloaded.
Applying too much pressure.
Tracking is not adjusted properly.
1. V-Belt loose.
2. V-Belt worn out.
