it may have stopped to prevent further damage. Try it again........
otherwise, the flucuating power could be a BIG problem. Is the 7442 a computerized machine??? as you know, computers do not like power that isn't steady.
Good Luck. :-) The motor may not be able to handle what you want to do with it. :)
I tried it several times since and nothing. It didn't feel hot or have a smell to it, but maybe stippling wasn't such a good idea on it. Although the stipple project was only 12 by 18 inches I think. So if it gave out over something small, I'm glad I didn't use it for the bigger project. I boxed the machine up in its original box and I'm off to buy a new one soon.
