Just got my new machine in on Thursday and was happy with how well this machine was packed and shipped, very superb on Matthews part! Getting up one flight of stairs and down another too get it into my basement alone was not easy task. So i have to do it in pieces.
The the carriage, tail stock, apron, chuck, chip guards, and gearbox for the lead screw where removed in order to make it lighter. Everything but the gear box, and electricals, and bed where removed. After assembly I plugged it into the my power outlet and i got no response. No noise coming from the motor starting, no lights switching on, nothing!
I checked to see if maybe the key from the gearbox panel wasn't properly making contact. I removed it from the panel and connected it directly, still wouldn't run. I replaced both fuses from the front and the back of the machine, still wouldn't turn on. I also tried multiple plugs in my basement thinking that was the issue, but still no luck. Every time i insured the chuck guard was down, and the emergency stop was not pressed down.
Am I missing another step? Maybe there is another key im missing to check? Is there maybe a motor start that could have been knocked lose, and i didn't check? What has me worried is that when plugged i get no response. Not even a light to indicate power in coming through the machine. I just got my volt meter to check the output of my house plugs to insure that not the problem. Any other ideas? I would contact Matt, but i only found this problem yesterday after 5pm, so they were closed, and i would be able to get in contact with Matt until Monday.
I really hope i didn't get a lemon.
