Sounds like the switch. If it just plugs in you can swap it yourself, if it's soldered, they will want to do it themselves. If the leads are soldered to the switch, there may still be a plug further down the wires.
Lacquer Thinner cleaned her up good. Chris at powermatic called it tar also. It looks nasty due to me trying to unjamb it with water. It was not budging. Its Working like new again.God dawg Bt. that shredder been running some tar through it. A very light coat of mineral oil soaked leaf or paper would work well, available at any drug or grocery. what did you use to clean it?
That may be whats happening with mine. Sometimes it tries to start and shuts down till I turn it off and try again. 2-3 times on occasion when you first feed the leaves.I have fixed the problem. Took the side cover off where the grease cover is and found that some grease had got on the censor near the drive gear cleaned with isopropal up and running.
And blow it out with air from the bottom if you have a compressor when it is running.You are probably bummed up in the cutters, dump some water down the chute.
That's how Chris at powermatic told me to do it.
He said it was a PITA and takes forever, that is why I tried the thinner first.
How long did it take to separate and clean them all?
I have gotten chatter out of mine for a while now also.
