Symptom

Possible Cause

Possible Solution

Machine does not start or a circuit breaker trips.

1.(First time operation only) Lathe is wired out of phase.

2.Emergency stop push-button is engaged or at fault.

3.Spindle ON/OFF switch is at fault.

4.Power supply is switched OFF at main power switch or breaker.

5.Wall fuse/circuit breaker is blown/ tripped; short in electrical system; start-up load too high for circuit.

6.Fuse has blown in machine electrical box due to thermal overload.

7.One or more kill switches are engaged.

8.Thermal overload relay has tripped.

9.Motor connection wired incorrectly.

10.Oil pump motor operating, but no oil is seen pumping in sight glass.

11.Limit/kill switch at fault.

12.Contactor not getting energized/has burnt contacts.

13.Wiring is open/has high resistance.

14.Motor is at fault.

15.Frequency drive unit is at fault.

1.Correct out-of-phase wiring (refer to Page 17 for details).

2.Rotate button clockwise until it pops out to reset it for operation; replace if not working properly.

3.Move the spindle ON/OFF lever to ON; replace bad switch.

4.Make sure main power switch and circuit breaker are turned ON.

5.Verify circuit is rated for machine amp load; troubleshoot and repair cause of overload; replace weak breaker; ﬁnd/repair electrical short.

6.Replace fuse; determine if overload is due to heavy operation; ensure power source has high enough voltage and cord is correctly sized.

7.Verify electrical box door, chuck guard, spindle, and brake switches are not engaged. Verify that headstock oil is pumping.

8.Turn the thermal relay cut-out dial to increase working amps and push the reset pin. Replace if tripped multiple times (weak relay).

9.Correct motor wiring connections.

10.Clean clogged tank suction screen, ﬁll headstock oil tank to full, or replace oil pump.

11.Test all limit/kill switches and replace as necessary.

12.Test for power on all legs and contactor operation. Replace unit if faulty.

13.Check for broken wires or disconnected/corroded connections, and repair/replace as necessary.

14.Test/repair/replace.

15.Contact frequency drive manufacturer for list of authorized service providers in your area.
