MOTOR
Excessive dust in the motor could cause excessive heat.
Every effort should be made to prevent foreign material from
entering the motor. When operating under conditions likely to
permit accumulations of dust, dirt or waste within the motor, a
visual inspection should be made at frequent intervals.
Accumulations of dry dust can usually be blown out successfully.
Note:
Motors used on woodworking tools are particularly
susceptable to the accumulation of sawdust and wood chips and
should be blown out or ‘’vacuumed’’ frequently to prevent the
interference with normal motor ventilation.
To remove dust, blow off motor with a low pressure air hose.
CAUTION:
TO AVOID INJURY OR ADVERSE REACTION TO
DUST, A HIGH PRESSURE HOSE SHOULD NOT BE USED
ESPECIALLY IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS.
Operational hints
During the first use and after cleaning, the filter bag may allow
some dust to escape. This is normal and will stop after a short
period of time.
CAUTION:
WEARING A PARTICLE MASK/RESPIRATOR FOR
PROTECTION AGAINST FINE DUST PARTICLES DURING
CLEANING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
PROBLEM
Motor will not run.
Excessive sawdust in
air.
Excessive impeller
noise.
Motor fails to develop
full power.
NOTE: LOW
VOLTAGE
(Power output of motor
decreases rapidly with
decrease in voltage at
the motor terminals.
Motor starts slowly or
fails to come up to
speed.
Motor overheats.
PROBABLE CAUSE
1. Defective cord, plug,
switch and/or motor.
2. Blown fuse.
1. Loose connectors.
2. Filter/dust bag and/or
chip collector bag releas-
ing sawdust.
1. Picked up large wood
chips and debris.
2. Loose impeller.
3. Rubbing impeller.
1. Circuit overloaded with
lights, appliances and
other motors.
2. Undersized extension cord or
extension cord is too long.
3. General overloading of
power company facilities.
1. Low voltage.
2. Windings are burned out
or open.
3. Starting switch will not
operate. Capacitor is bad.
1. Motor overloaded.
2. Improper cooling, air cir-
culation is restricted
through motor due to
sawdust accumulation.
REMEDY SUGGESTED
1. Consult service. Any attempt to repair this motor may create a hazard
unless repair is done by a qualified service technician. Repair
service is available at your nearest service center.
2. Check for blown fuses and replace with fuse of proper capacity.
1. Tighten connections.
2.a. Sawdust trapped between clamp bag and housing.
b. Lower bag is hung up on sawdust shoot extension. Reposition chip
bag properly.
1. Do not pick up metal or ferrous materials. Stop the machine and the
material will fall to the bottom of the inlet tube.
2. Unplug dust collector prior to disassembly. Hazardous moving parts inside.
Attach inlet guard before plugging in. Use a piece of wood to free impeller.
3. Consult service to repair loose or rubbing impeller. A repair to the
housing may create a hazard unless it is done by a qualified service
technician. Servicing is available at your nearest service center.
1. Do not use other appliances or motors on the same circuit as your
dust collector.
2. Increase the wire size on extention cord, or reduce the length of the
extension cord.
3. Request a power check from your power company.
1. Request voltage check from your power company.
2. Have motor repaired or replaced by a qualified service technician.
3. Have capacitor replaced by a qualified service technician.
1. Clean out sawdust to provide normal air circulation through the
motor. See ‘’Maintenance’’ section in this manual.
