- Press the E‑stop button on the operator console.
- Inspect the follower homing sensor for security and signs of damage, and clean any build-up of dust.
- Manually push the follower all the way to the end stop closest to the saw, such that the carriage contact plate is over the top of the follower homing sensor.
-
Perform the following checks:
- Visually make sure the follower homing sensor is roughly centred below the contact plate. Adjust the homing sensor bracket if required.
- Visually make sure the gap between the carriage contact plate and the homing sensor is about 1 mm.
- Make sure the orange sensing LED on the side of the sensor is turned on.
-
Make sure that the locknut on the homing sensor is secure. Tighten if required.
CAUTIONTake care not to overtighten the locknut as this will damage the sensor.
