Fire Extinguisher

Ah yes. I had directed that at John but I see you had a smiliar problem, although his actually did burst into flames.

I suppose I'm just curious to know because I've got more than a few induction motors around the place too and I'd like to prevent them from actually igniting if it's at all possible...

SILENT,the saw was doing some fairly heavy work and had been ripping crotch wood from Camphor Laurel for a couple of hours some up to 40 mm in thickness and as this is the most used function on the bench I guess it must'o got close to it's shelf life tho I'm given to understand they're supposedly quality motors outta Italy produced for the Mini-Max series of workbench's.

The appropriate wiring is in place rated to 15 amps tho the draw on the motor is 13.5amps which may not be constant rather than on start up and the motor had had a few starts that day.

Still awaiting prognosis being electrically illiterate.
