Symptom Possible Cause Possible Solution
Machine does not
start or a breaker
trips.
1. Emergency stop button is engaged.
2. Electrical box door switch is OFF.
3. Machine is wired to power source out of
phase.
4. Electrical box door is open/door safety
switch is at fault.
5. Motor connection wired incorrectly.
6. Fuse has blown.
7. Phase reversal relay is at fault.
8. Computer board is at fault.
9. Thermal overload relay has tripped.
10. Contactor not getting energized/has
burnt contacts.
11. Blown/tripped wall fuse/circuit breaker.
12. Power supply is at fault/switched OFF.
13. Motor ON switch is at fault.

faulty.
15. Wiring is open/has high resistance.
16. Motor is at fault.
1. Disengage emergency stop button.
2. Turn electrical box door switch ON with the door closed.
3. Switch any two current carrying wires at the power source
connection.
4. Close door/replace faulty safety switch.
5. Correct motor wiring connections; check power source wire
connections to ensure hot lines are "in phase" by reversing
any two hot lines.
6. Correct short/replace fuse.
7. Replace phase reversal relay.
8. Inspect computer board; replace if faulty.
9. Turn cut-out dial to increase working amps and push the
reset pin. Replace if tripped multiple times.
10. Test for power on all legs and contactor operation. Replace
unit if faulty.
11. Replace weak breaker; ensure correct size circuit.
12. Ensure hot lines have correct voltage on all legs and main
power supply is switched ON.

1. Use wood with correct moisture content and low resins.
2. Replace bad belt(s), align pulleys, and re-tension.
3. Correct motor wiring connections.
4. Adjust blade tracking and tension to factory specs.
5. Test by rotating shaft; rotational grinding/loose shaft requires
bearing replacement.
6. Use sharp blade w/lower TPI; reduce the feed rate.
7. Use sharp blade with lower TPI; reduce the feed rate/depth
of cut; use cutting fluid if possible.
8. Clean off motor, let cool, and reduce workload.
9. Fix contacts or replace contactor.
10. Test/repair/replace.
11. Adjust to correct delay; replace module.
