2.If the motor won’t start, turn off the power switch imme- diately and unplug the tool. Check the cutter head to make sure it turns freely. If the cutter head is free, try to start the motor again. If the motor still does not start, refer to the "Motor Troubleshooting Chart."
3.Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip fre- quently if:
a. Motor Is
b. Line voltages should not be more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage. For heavy loads, however, the voltage at motor terminals must equal the voltage specified for your model.
c. Improper or dull jointer knives are used.
4.Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incor- rect connections, overload, low voltage (such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long supply circuit wire. Always check the connections, the load and the supply circuit whenever motor doesn’t work well. Check wire sizes and length with the Wire Size Chart.
