PM-1440GT Lathe won't power on

[Firstgear]

Take the metal spade for the safety switch off of the door/belt housing, and insert it into the the receiver manually. It may not be seating, and completing the safety circuit. I think when PM does their run testing they put in a dummy one, it must have run before it was shipped out.

When mine doesn’t fire up, that is always the first place I look, the cover safety switch. Oh yeah, the face guard….have done that a few times too!

It was the belt cover safety switch. I took that cover off before and never noticed a switch in there. Metal pegs were too high and didn't engage. Lathe running like a champ. I appreciate the help.

The take off covers are difficult to line up, having to line up 2 studs, and the spade....
