after a few minutes of operation and compare the measured current with the

THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION
An internal thermal protector disconnects the electrical contacts when the motor
draws too much current and overheats, forcing it to shut down before it is damaged.
1. Switch the power source off and let the motor cool before attempting a reset.
2. Reduce the load on the motor to prevent the thermal protector from
tripping again.
3. Push the thermal reset button hard until a sharp snap is heard. If a snap is
not heard, the motor may need to cool further.
4. The unit is ready.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
1. Maintain the tool with care. A tool in good condition is efficient, easier to
control and will have fewer problems.
2. Inspect the tool components periodically. Repair or replace damaged or
worn components. Only use identical replacement parts when servicing.
3. Maintain the tool’s labels and name plates. These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact Princess Auto Ltd. for replacements.
WARNING! Only qualified service personnel should repair the tool. An
improperly repaired tool may present a hazard to the user and/or others.
CONDENSATE DRAINS
The motor comes with one way sintered brass breather drains. These drains allow the
motor to expel liquids from the casing without allowing liquid to enter the motor.
The drains may require periodic maintenance to keep them clean of debris and
flowing freely. Occasionally, remove the brass drains and wash them
thoroughly. Eliminate any built up debris that may be impeding their operation.
For motors that are equipped with rubber plugs in their condensate drain holes,
be sure to remove the plug, especially if the motor is installed in a location
where condensate build up is likely.
In all instances, ensure that the drain is in the lowest portion of the motor.
