Troubleshooting
Machine Will Not Start
1.
Check that the start switch is being pressed full in.
2. Check that the red stop switch is fully out.
3.
Check that the electrical power cord is plugged into the power outlet.
4.
Check that the electrical supply is on [reset the breaker].
5.
With the power disconnected from the machine, check the wiring to the plug is
correct. Check that the rubber insulation is stripped enough and is not causing a
bad connection. Check that all the screws are tight.
The Machine Will Not Stop
This is a very rare occurrence as the machine is designed to fail-safe. If it should
occur and you cannot fix the fault, seek professional assistance. The machine
must be disconnected from the power and never run until the fault has been
rectified.
1.
Internal breaker faulty. Replace the breaker.
Motor Tries To Start But Will Not Turn
1.
With the power disconnected from the machine, try to turn the spindle by hand.
If the spindle will not turn, check the reason for the jamming.
2.
Motor faulty. Replace the motor.
Motor Overheats
The motor is designed to run hot, but should it overheat it has an internal thermal
overload protector that will shut it down until the motor has cooled and then it will
reset automatically. If the motor overheats wait until it has cooled and restart. If
the motor shuts down consistently check for the reason. Typical reasons are dull
cutting tools, no water in the coolant tank, blockage in the coolant pipe and
excessive ambient temperature.
Squeaking Noise
1.
Check the bearings.
Spindle Slows Down During A Cut
1.
Dull cutting tools. Replace the tool or have it re-sharpened.
2.
Feeding the wood too fast. Slow down the feed rate.
Machine Vibrates
1.
Machine not level on the floor. Re-level the machine ensuring that it has no
movement.
