TROUBLE SHOOTING -- MOTOR
NOTE: Motors used on
susceptible to the accumulation of sawdust and wood chips
and should be blown out or "vacuumed" frequently to
prevent interference with normal motor ventilation,.
TROUBLE
H,
Excessive noise°
Motor fails to develop
full power. (Power
output of motor decreases rapidly with decrease in voltage at motor terminals, For example, a reduction of 10% in voltage causes a reduction of 19% in maximum power output of which the motor is
capable, while a reduction of 20% in voltage causes a reduction of 36% in
maximum power output.)
PROBABLE CAUSE
!Motor,
1o Circuit overloaded with lights, appliances and other motors
2.Undersize wires or circuit too long.
3.General overloading of
power company facilities, (in some sections of the country, demand for electrical power may exceed the capacity
of existing generating
and distribution systems.)
4 Incorrect fuses or circuit breakers in power line.
REMEDY
1 Have motor checked by qualified service technician, Repair service is available at
your nearest Sears store.
1_ Do not use other appliances or motors on same circuit when using the saw
2 Increase wire sizes, or reduce length of wiring,
See "Motor Specification and Electrical
Requirements" section
3. Request a voltage check from the power company
4 Install correct fuses or circuit breakers.
