Correction *
Inspect cord or plug for damaged insulation
and shorted wires.
or loose Inspect all connections on motor for loose or
shorted terminals or worn insulation.
Install correct fuses or circuit breakers.
Disconnect from power, try turning spindle by
hand. Check reason for jamming.
Replace spindle.
Replace motor. Maintain coolant level.
Check incoming voltage.
Use sharp tools.
Fill reservoir, check for obstacles in flow path.
Reduce load on motor.
or loose Inspect connections on motor for loose or
shorted terminals or worn insulation.
Correct low voltage conditions.
Install correct fuses or circuit breakers.
Tighten cutter in spindle collet.
Check that spoil boards are flat and clean
prior to fitting job.
Inspect and correct if needed.
Release red E-stop switch.
Check power
condition of power cable.
Inspect and replace.
Replace breaker.
Verify proper work space within tool path.
Verify that controller reads 1X,1Y,1Z. If not,
Press "Menu" and "1" at same time to reset.
If unsure, restore information from Backup
File.
Inspect limit switches and correct problem.
Level machine.
Lower levelers to floor.
Inspect all fasteners for tightness.
Tighten bit.
Verify that spoil boards are flat and clean.
Adjust tightness of ball screw.
