Solution
Replace fuse
Reset circuit breaker

Turn off immediately and replace the wheel
Check and tighten bolts and fittings
Fit a vibration-reducing material between the tool and the workbench surface.
A small piece of wood would be satisfactory
See 'Changing the belt' section
Replace belt
See 'Changing the belt' for tension adjustment
Ensure the duty cycle is followed with a maximum of 30 minutes use per hour. If the tool
still gets excessively hot allow further cooling time as other factors including ambient
temperature may increase the required cooling time. Running the tool well within the
duty cycle may increase the working life of the tool
Check all fittings are correctly tightened. If any fittings are repeatedly
becoming loose check the fittings order is correct and add spring washers
or lock nuts if necessary
