Mark 510 poer up problem

Post by bhiebeler »

I purchased a 510 used last week and was in the process of cleaning it up and doing head stock maintenance. The head stock powered up and I increased the speed. The GPI tripped on the curcuit and after reseting the GPI the head stock will not power on. I have tested the outlet and is connected okay. I spoke with the previous owner and he said that he replaced the switch about a year ago. What is the best way to determine the problem. Thanks

The best way to find an electrical problem it to test with a voltmeter, but if you don't understand electricity, I don't recommend that. It is a good way to kill yourself if you don't know what you are doing.
