Upon further investigation, this spontaneous change of direction seems to be due to a dead startup cap. Mine is 150uF @ 110V. I have been running this saw at 220V successfully for 3 weeks now.
Can someone confirm if my suspicion is true? Also, if it is true, where can I get an induction motor startup cap? Do Delta BS motors have these? I have a Delta parts and service center a few miles away. I didn't think to call today while they were open.
Thanx in advance!!!
