Possible Solution
7. Replace out-of-round chuck, dull, or bent cutter.
8. Fix/replace fan cover; replace loose/damaged fan.
9. Test by rotating spindle; rotational grinding/loose shaft
requires bearing replacement.
10. Adjust/replace if at fault.
11. Test by rotating shaft; rotational grinding/loose shaft
requires bearing replacement.
1. Clean lens.
2. Fix broken wires or disconnected/corroded
connections (Page 47).
3. Replace LED or driver (Page 44).
4. Replace switch.
1. Clean lens.
2. Fix broken wires or disconnected/corroded
connections (Page 47).
3. Replace lase module(s) (Page 44).
4. Replace switch.
5. Replace laser LED driver.
Possible Solution
1. Tighten chuck jaws.
2. Decrease feed pressure and allow chips to clear.
1. Clean chuck, arbor, and spindle taper, then re-install
(Page 22).
2. Decrease feed pressure and allow chips to clear.
1. Reduce spindle speed (Page 29); reduce feed rate.
2. Decrease feed pressure and allow chips to clear.
3. Use right technique, tool, or machine for job.
4. Use larger cutting tool and slower feed rate.
5. Use coolant or oil for appropriate application; reduce
cutting speed (Page 29).
6. Fully retract spindle and raise table to increase rigidity.
1. Fully retract spindle and raise table to increase rigidity.
2. Tighten table lock handles (Page 32).
3. Properly clamp workpiece on table or in vise.
4. Reduce spindle speed (Page 29); reduce feed rate.
5. Adjust quill shaft lock screw (Page 46).
1. Disengage table locks (Page 32).
2. Clean away chips/debris. Lubricate rack and pinion
(Page 37).
