I recently got a Shopbot Desktop MAX ATC with the 1HP Spindle. It's routinely tripping a totally unrelated AFCI breaker in my sons room 2 out of 3 times when it's switched on or off. It doesn't matter what circuit it's plugged into (and I've basically tried them all now).

Has anyone had this issue that can further explain how to fix this?

Can the spindle be run off my predator 3500 inverter generator in the meantime? I need to get up and running 3 days ago.

Thanks
