It sounds like your not getting enough power. Do you know what gauge your wireing is? Are you using a extention cord? Maybe you could try it on an outlet at your neibors. in my house it's wired with 14ga and mine wouldn't run. When I wired my shop I used 12ga and had no problems. good luck let me know if you have any questions.
