    G0704 Motor doesn't turn on NEED HELP

    When I turn on the machine the spindle speed indicator reads 0 and when I turn the spindle speed adjustment knob nothing happens. Note, I have taken off the safety guard and hard wired the switch to permanently stay on. The spindle turns freely by hand with no noticable issues and displays the spindle speed when doing so. Both fuses on the back are good. The mill hasn't been used for any heavy duty use. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

    Must be an issue with your wring. If you spliced it it might be in the 'guard open' position.

    When the guard is open, the switch disengages power so I just hard wired it close. Has never been a problem since doing it. Has to be something else. Following the wiring diagram I can't find anything out of the ordinary either.
