    For a 30AMP breaker I think you need 10 guage wire. I know you need 12 guage for a 20Amp breaker. Anyhow this should be printed on the wire. Anyhow make sure you match the right wire to the breaker if not you defeat the purpose of having the breaker the wire will burn up first before tripping the breaker and could cause a fire. However if you are not goting anything I doubt it is the wire fault unless you totally ran the wrong thing like zip cord or something then it is possible it is not carrying enought current to start the thing.

    Are there safety switches on that machine? If it does nothing, there may be a safety switch clicked off. Both euro machines I have purchased I have had to call my rep to get them running. The first time I had to depress the button long enough for the machine to spin up (soft start) and my saw/shaper has a three way switch that will disengages the motors when I access the blades or the shaper head. Just an idea.
