test run
once your Model t10097 is positioned,
test run the machine to make sure it runs
properly.
if, during the test run, you cannot easily
locate the source of an unusual noise or
vibration, stop using the machine imme-
diately, then review the
troubleshooting
on page 20.
if you still cannot remedy a problem, con-
tact our tech support at (570) 546-9663
for assistance.
to test run the machine:
1. Make sure you have read the safety
instructions at the beginning of the
manual and that the grinder is set up
properly.
2. Make sure all tools and objects used
during setup are cleared away from the
grinder.
3. Make sure the switch is in the oFF
position.
4. Connect the grinder to the power
source.
5. turn the grinder ON. Make sure that
your hand stays poised over the switch
in case you need to quickly turn the
machine oFF.
6. listen and watch for abnormal nois-
es or actions. under normal condi-
tions, the grinder will make a humming
noise, with only minor vibration. a
slight wobble from one or both wheels
is normal and will not affect grinding
performance.
— investigate strange or unusual nois-
es and correct them before oper-
ating the machine further. always
disconnect the machine from power
before investigating or correcting
potential problems.
7. turn the grinder Off.
8. pull out the switch disabling key and
attempt to turn the machine ON.
— if the grinder does not start, the
switch disabling feature is working.
— if the grinder starts, turn it Off.
the switch disabling feature is not
working. this safety feature must
work properly before proceeding.
