Electronic Torque Limiter/
Motor Thermal Overload
The machine is equipped with an Electronic
Torque Limiter/Motor Thermal Overload. If
the motor draws excessive current, the motor
will shut off to reduce the likelihood of cable
damage and the Electronic Torque Limiter
LED will flash. Release the foot switch to
allow the motor to restart. See the Operating
Instructions section for information for remov-
ing the cable from a blockage.
If the Electronic Torque Limiter LED is on con-
tinuously, the motor has overheated. To reset
the thermal overload, unplug machine, turn
the REV/O-OFF/FOR switch to the O-OFF
position and let the machine cool for at least
15 minutes. If the machine will not start or
continuously trips during normal operation,
take machine for service.
