i replaced start and stop switches when the start became intermittent on my K975 saw - basically when i bought it used. i did not call felder as they were readily available online. Not expensive and easy to replace.

Hey Toby,?
I've had the shaper stop button not reset before. The spring loaded button will return to its original position but the switch itself would not return to its normal resting position.? It would eventually spring back on its own but the machine was down until it did. Once that stop switch was replaced the problem ceased.?
Since your problem solved itself I would think that it may be a dirty or failing stop switch as others have mentioned.?
Jarrett?
You guys are awesome.? So many great ideas.

I got pretty frustrated yesterday and moved to another project.? It¡¯s funny how so many projects in my shop still require this saw/shaper.? It seems that nearly every other project I tried to work on also required the saw or shaper.
?
Today I thought I would check things once more before phoning support.? Not sure what happened, but I got the yellow light Brian refers to below, and then tried starting the shaper and it worked.
?
A long time ago I was in product support¡ if it only happened once, it didn¡¯t really happen.? So I guess I wait to see if it happens again.

Thanks everyone!

Put the selector button in reverse for the shaper, see if the yellow light comes on. If it doesn¡¯t, you have an open connection in your e-stop string. All the limit switches and stop buttons are daisy chained into one circuit, if any of
them are open, you can¡¯t start the machine.

I used my the Shaper this morning, then switched to saw and it is not starting. I¡¯ve tried:
-
Power cycling
-
Fuses checked with ohm meter
-
Safety switches properly engaged
-
Switching from saw to shaper several times
Neither the saw nor shaper will start.?
Any guidance is appreciated.?
