Hi, I have an older RL160 I bought from a forum member this past summer that is like new condition. Unfortunately I am running into issues with the RL160 shutting off after about five minutes of use generally any operation that takes more time than cuts on the slider. This RL is connected directly to my slider with <4' of flex and no sharp 90s and I would switch the hose to my joiner/planer where it would shutoff. Yesterday I was doing some drywall work which created some dust in my shop so ran the RL160 without it connected to anything to clear the air and after a few minutes the breaker on the machine tripped. After checking with the previous owner he had the same experience I did but Felder suggested it was his wide belt sander produce too much material and he didn't pursue warranty with them at the time. In all cases it is the machine side thermal breaker that trips.
I was hoping the forum members could suggest where to start diagnosing the problem or suggest parts I could replace.? Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks, Jay B.
