8. relay switch is at fault.
9. Wall fuse/circuit breaker is blown/tripped.
10. Contactor not getting energized/has burnt
contacts.
11. Wiring is open/has high resistance.
12. Motor on button switch is at fault.
13. transformer is at fault.
14. Motor is at fault.
15. Frequency drive is at fault.
1. rotate clockwise slightly until it pops out/replace it.
2. turn the main power switch on; replace.
3. Close and secure electrical cabinet door; replace
switch.
4. ensure power supply is switch on; ensure power
supply has the correct voltage.
5. test for good contacts; correct the wiring.
6. replace fuse.
7. Correct motor wiring connections (
Page 55).
8. replace relay switch.
9. ensure circuit size is suitable for this machine;
replace weak breaker.
10. test for power on all legs and contactor operation.
replace unit if it is at fault.
11. Check for broken wires or disconnected/corroded

5. select appropriate spindle speed range; replace
broken or slipping gears.
6. Correct motor wiring connections.
7. test for good contacts; correct the wiring.
8. replace loose pulley/shaft.
9. test by rotating shaft; rotational grinding/loose shaft
requires bearing replacement.
10. Use smaller sharp tooling; reduce the feed rate;
reduce the spindle rpM; use coolant.
