TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
• To avoid injury from an accidental start, turn the switch OFF and remove the plug from the power source before making
any adjustments.
• All electrical or mechanical repairs should be done only by qualified service technicians. Contact Hitachi Authorized
Service Center.
GENERAL
PROBLEM
Motor will not start.
Motor will not start;
fuses blown or circuit
breakers are tripped.
Motor fails to develop full
power (power output of
motor decreases rapidly
with decrease in voltage
at motor terminals).
Motor overheats.
Motor stalls (resulting in
blown fuses or tripped
circuit breakers).
Machine slows down
while operating.
Abrasive belt runs off
top wheel.
Dust collection not working.
