Band saw manual
They don't have website. Where do they manufacture their band saws?
Can't turn planer on
I think that you burned out the start capacitor(s) on your motor.
This is a common problem if the motor is overloaded.
It is also possible that the thermal overload is defective.
Vibrating badly at full speed
I do not know your machine but I used a STARRITE and had the same problem. My technician could not get it to run quietly and refused to use it. I took time and went through all the adjustments. Make sure you set the correct tention for the blade you're using. Make sure the blade just touches the support bearing. There are lead blocks top and bottom. The blade must run smoothly between these, but just. After about 45minutes I had it running quietly
The problem can also be caused by a blade that is too big (thickness) especially if it was under tention for a long time and not being used. The blade presses the rubber on one side of the wheel which causes it to be off balance at speed but that is supposed to normalise after a while.
