1. Emergency stop push-button engaged/at
fault.
2. Chuck guard open/safety switch at fault.
3. Spindle position limit switch engaged/at
fault.
4. Power supply switched OFF or at fault.
5. Plug/receptacle at fault/wired wrong.
6. Motor connection wired wrong.
7. Wall circuit breaker tripped.
8. Wiring open/has high resistance.
9. Master power switch at fault.
10. Motor or motor components at fault.
1. Rotate button to reset/replace it.
2. Close guard/replace switch.
3. Adjust spindle position to disengage limit switch;
replace switch.
4. Ensure power supply is on/has correct voltage.
5. Test for good contacts; correct the wiring.
6. Correct motor wiring connections (Page 41).
7. Ensure circuit size is correct/replace weak breaker.
8. Check/fix broken, disconnected, or corroded wires.
9. Replace switch.
10. Test/repair/replace.

overloaded.
1. Feed rate/cutting speed too fast.
2. Wrong tooling.
3. Machine is undersized or tooling is incorrect
for the task.
4. Motor connection is wired incorrectly.
5. Motor bearings are at fault.
6. Motor has overheated.
7. Motor or motor components at fault.
