Troubleshooting

Foot switch does not activate the machine.

Verify that the switch is correctly wired according to the machine's electrical diagram. Ensure the pedal is fully depressed. Check the power supply and the integrity of the NC/NO contacts.

Machine stops unexpectedly or fails to start.

Inspect the wiring for loose connections or breaks. The NC contact may be stuck open or the NO contact stuck closed. Clean the pedal mechanism and ensure it moves freely.

Switch feels stiff or difficult to press.

Check for obstructions around the pedal mechanism. Ensure the switch is mounted on a stable surface. If resistance persists, there may be internal damage; consider replacement.

Indicator light (if applicable) does not illuminate.

This switch does not have an integrated indicator light. If your system relies on external indicators, check their wiring and power source.
