Belt sander won't turn on
The sander doesn't seem to have power.
You May Have Tripped Your BreakerThere is a certain amount of energy that can be pulled from a power supply and if it reaches a specific amount the breaker will trip. This is an emergency act in order to save the electrical components. Make sure to unplug the sander and then go check the breaker box in your home or facility. If you notice that the breaker is tripped into the off position, then you should flip it to the on position.
