    1. Length (Length of board is wrong)
    2. Centerline (Centerline of board is wrong)
    3. Angle (Angle of board is wrong)
    4. In Out (In out Conveyors are wrong position)
    5. Material Feed (Sync conveyors are in line with each other)
  2. Saw won’t move (Which movement?)
    • Check Screen for issues
      1. Network connection (All vc1’s are not connected)
      2. Estop
      3. Encoder Errors or warnings
      4. Drive errors or warnings
    • Stall
      1. Check for something physically jammed in movement
      2. Lubricate movement
      3. Go to calibrate and try to work the movement loose with slow speed moves back and forth.
      4. Remove fan cover and help break movement loose.
    • Carriage won’t move and stalls
      1. Check to see if air brake is working properly
      2. Check if torque tamer is tight

    • Air brakes won’t are rubbing against hub
    • Air brakes won’t disengage or slow to switch states.
