Powermatic 15HH won't start

Planer won't start. This happened to me before. This fix is in the switch box, but I forget what. Anyone want to jog my memory?

Thanks!

internally there is a reset button if that is what you mean

The other is to rotate the stop button then start the planer.

while you are in the box if that is the issue turn the amps up to 13 IIRC so it can work a bit harder before tripping

Don't leave us hanging, you gotta tell what the trivial problem was, save the unwashed ignorant masses from missing the same trivial problem. Plug came out? breaker? or loose wire in the switch? waiting with bated breath.

It's kind of technical. The issue was traced to a line exhibiting switched behavior in an unswitched hot line, resulting in infinite impedance in one arm of the circuit. The issue was diagnosed with a volt meter. Visual inspection confirmed that the minimum gap between the A/C wire and the contact point had been exceeded. The issue was rectified through manual application of...

OK. A wire popped out of a pigtail connector terminal. I screwed it back in.
