What do I do if the motor of my dust collector overheats?

The motor's internal circuit breaker will trip if the motor is overheating. This could be caused by air leaks between the dust collector and dust bin or by improper wiring in the motor.

If there are air leaks between the dust collector and dust bin:

1. The lid of the dust drum must be in place, have a foam seal, and be well seated when operating the dust collector.
2. Make sure flex hose is not torn and the hose clamps are tight.
3. Check for holes or leaks in the dust barrel.

If the motor is not properly wired:

1. Check wire connections.
2. Check motor rotation.
3. Check breaker box to make sure power supply is correct for motor.
