Troubleshooting
Symptom Possible Cause Possible Solution
Machine does not
start.
1. Circuit breaker on machine tripped.
2. Plug at fault or wired incorrectly.
3. Motor wired incorrectly.
4. Wall fuse/circuit breaker is blown/tripped.
5. Wiring is open/has high resistance.
6. Machine power switch is at fault.
7. Motor is at fault.
1. Press reset button on motor junction box; reduce
load on motor to prevent overheating.
2. Ensure plug is not damaged and is wired correctly.
3. Ensure motor wiring is correct.
4. Ensure circuit size is correct and a short does not
exist. Reset breaker or replace fuse.
5. Check for broken wires or disconnected/corroded
connections; repair/replace as necessary.
6. Ensure switch is wired correctly; replace if at fault.
7. Test/repair/replace.
Machine stalls or is
overloaded.
1. Feed rate/cutting speed too fast.
2. Wrong cutter type.
3. Machine is undersized for the task 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 is at fault.
1. Decrease feed rate/cutting speed.
2. Use the correct cutter for the task.
3. Use smaller or sharper tooling; reduce feed rate or
spindle speed; use cutting fluid if possible.
4. Wire motor correctly for the intended voltage.
5. Test by rotating shaft; rotational grinding/loose shaft
requires bearing replacement.
6. Clean off motor, let cool, and reduce workload.
7. Test/repair/replace motor.

6. Machine is incorrectly mounted or sits
unevenly.
7. Motor bearings are at fault.
1. Inspect/replace stripped or damaged bolts/nuts, and
re-tighten with thread locking fluid.
2. Decrease depth of cut.
3. Make sure tooling is properly secured.
4. Replace/resharpen cutter.
5. Replace/sharpen bit; index bit to workpiece; use
appropriate feed rate and cutting RPM.
6. Tighten/replace mounting bolts in bench; relocate/
shim machine.
7. Test by rotating shaft; rotational grinding/loose shaft
requires bearing replacement.
