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 safety paddle switch works correctly.

If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review the Troubleshooting on Page 26. If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.

To test run the machine:

2.Connect the machine to the power source.

3.Turn the machine ON. Make sure that your hand stays poised over the switch in case you need to quickly turn the machine OFF.

—When operating correctly, the machine runs smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.

—Investigate and correct strange or unusual noises or vibrations before operating the machine further. Always disconnect the machine from power before investigating or correcting potential problems.
