The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2) the safety disabling mechanism on the switch works correctly, and 3) the OFF button safety feature 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 Troubleshooting on Page 57.

If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech Support at (360) 734-3482 for assistance.
