Jones 451?

If I plug in the power cable/ foot control, the machine runs of its own accord without depressing the foot control

Hello Jane,
The suppressor has blown in the foot control, just undo the foot control and you will see something that looks like a fuse, take it out and throw it away because you don't need it these days.
