## The motor is designed to run very hot, but should it overheat it has an internal terminal overload protector that will shut it down until the motor has cooled down and then it will reset automatically. If the motor overheats, wait until it has cooled down and restart. If the motor shuts down constantly, check for the reason. Typical reasons are dull blade, overfeeding the wood, motor cooling fan clogged or faulty, motor cooling fins clogged and excessive ambient temperature.
