RT1200 Popping Breakers
Quote from Reloader on April 16, 2014, 1:14 amI've got an RT1200 trimmer and all of a sudden it is popping the circuit breaker after about 10-15 seconds or less. I moved it to another plug where I use a power miter saw and it still pops the breaker. I have used it without problems before and it seems to spin up fine before popping the breaker. Also, what is the difference between the RT1200 and the RT1200B. Any help appreciated.

Thanks

That helpful hint should be part of the manual. Most garage outlets in later model homes are ALL GFI now, so this does present a challenge.
