My 220-volt Jet 16-42 stopped working the other day. No lights in the inverter display, not a sputter. Anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot the problem? A few bits of background information:
- This isn't the first time this has happened. It doesn't stop working in mid-project, only when I shut it off.
- It the past it inexplicably started working again.
- I worry about wood chips entering the unit through the vents and causing problems, so I often clear it out with compressed air.
- This time, I let a friend use the lathe while I was gone. He unplugged everything when he left and now it's dead.
- I'm not electronically literate.
Is there a reboot process? A reset button? A switch that can get clogged by wood dust? If I open it up, is there more than simply checking for loose connections I should do.
