Troubleshooting
Feed rate/cutting speed too fast for task.
Machine is undersized for the task.
Wrong workpiece material.
Motor has overheated.
Motor connection is wired incorrectly.
Plug/receptacle is at fault.
Drive belt is at fault.
Drive belt pulley slipping on shaft.
Motor bearings are at fault.
Possible Solution
1. Test/replace it.
2. Test for good contacts; correct the wiring.
3. Adjust the operation to reduce motor overload,
rotate spindle speed dial counterclockwise to a
minimum speed, then press the ON button to
re-enable power to the motor.
4. Correct the cause of the blown fuse, then replace
it.
5. Correct motor wiring connections (see Page 35).
6. Test for power on all legs and contactor operation.
Replace unit if faulty.
7. Ensure power supply is switched ON; ensure power

9. Test/replace.
10. Replace.
11. Test/repair/replace.
1.
Decrease feed rate/cutting speed.
2.
Use smaller sharp cutters/drill bits; reduce the feed
rate; reduce the spindle speed; use cutting fluid if
possible.
3.
Use metal with correct properties for your type of
machining.
4.
Clean off motor, run motor with no load to let it
cool, and reduce workload.
5.
Correct motor wiring connections (see Page 35).
6.
Test for good contacts; correct the wiring.
7.
Re-tension/replace drive belt (see Page 31).
8.
Replace loose belt pulley.
9.
Test by rotating shaft; rotational grinding/loose
