Something is not functioning in the safety circuit of my 4850. The sensor switches are functioning (mechanically, at least) and I don't see any unseated wires from them or on the PCB. When I close the cover, I don't hear that final 'click' sound that seems to mean the cutter is able to operate. And so, when I press the cutting buttons, nothing happens. I'm wondering if a fuse or circuit part needs to be replaced, but I have no idea where to start. Please advise ~~
 
Hi sir:

Please Reset the Circuit breakers: f1+F2+F3, and test FUSE : F4+F5.
Let me know.
 
  • Hi Chock, thank you —

    can you instruct me on how to reset the circuit breakers and test the fuse?

    Take good care,

    Hi Sir;

    Reset the circuit breaker, is simple only, use your fingers, and put where they say ON, AND READY !!

    2) Test Fuse, you must use the Digital Multimeter, or Analog, in Continuity, must read 0 Ohms., otherwise is defective.

    Hi Chock—

    I tested both fuses F4 and F5 are they are working

    I'm not certain about the circuit breakers—on my machine (from 1996), F1 and F2 are the safety buttons (A and B) that are pressed from the bottom of the machine—is this the 'on' and 'ready' you are referring to? If so, I have reset them (though they did not seem to be tripped), as well as re-seated the wire connections. (Also, my machine does not have F3).

    Still, the cutter is not activating the blade.

    I am thinking that maybe one of the sensor switches that are pushed by the cover have gone bad ? Do you know if this is possible to check with a multimeter, or if there are any other places in the machine to use this tool to check?

    Thank you so much ~~
     
    , will not sensor, his machine, dies have, is old tech.
