New Facebook Felder Group
Hello All,
After joining couple of Felder facebook groups, I wanted a group that was regional. Goal being that along with all the benefits one could drive from such group, there is a possibility of people getting to know each other, especially ones that are located near each other.
With this thought, I created Midwest Felder Owners Group on Facebook. After I announced it on the two Felder groups, people really wanted to join, even though they are not in midwest. I figured there is strength in numbers so it is open to all. However, I feel strongly about my initially stated goal. So hopefully, in time, perhaps with ideas from others, we will figure out a way to do so. Maybe, we will end up with multiple regions covering all of USA, who knows.
Here is a link for ones interested in joining this group.

Re: My New k740 saw is not working
Hi Albert.
im from Norway, so dont know how felder operate in the USA.
the dealership here in Norway was supposed to help me tune up the saw once I got it assembled and connected to power¡ but now they want to research what the problem might be before they come out to ¡°commission¡±.
this "service" is included as well, but kinda sad it didn¡¯t go as planned ?

Re: My New k740 saw is not working
I dont know how Felder operate in USA. are you able to get a technician in?
normally if its here in New Zealand, it involves with a technician onsite to commission the machine, all inclusive.?

Re: My New k740 saw is not working
Hi Mike.?
think the voltage is good.?
tried the outlet with another machine and it worked just fine.
has to be something with the saw I¡¯m afraid :(
|
Re: My New k740 saw is not working
We had that clicking noise when out 3phase convertor lost power. ?Is voltage input good?

Re: My New k740 saw is not working
Those were the only things I could think of. Sorry, just noted, you had already mentioned blade cover. As Brian mentioned, you have to work with Felder now. With clicking you mentioned, I imagine a phase is missing.

haven¡¯t double checked the back panel, but it¡¯s on and can¡¯t recall seeing any micro switches there either.
micro switch on the bladcover is engaged.
Don¡¯t think there¡¯s any lights on this saw as it¡¯s ?manual rise/fall/tilt and unfortunately no scoring blade¡( sales man didn¡¯t mention it was an option¡ though it was standard on this saw aggregate)

It is totally stable.? Possibly better than with the factory setup because the bottom is bolted to a solid panel vs. the 4 posts from the factory.

Re: My New k740 saw is not working
Yes, my display came on and everything seemed to be in order but the blade would not turn on. No blinking indicator, nothing! A quick jiggle on that connection and it worked. I also had an issue with sawdust on the ways interfering with that switch. Bizarre, but doubt that would be an issue on a brand new saw.?

Re: My New k740 saw is not working
Check that connector closely, mine got caught and it pulled the pin just enough that it wouldn¡¯t make contact there was no visible damage, I noticed that one pin was slightly shorter than the other

did you¡¯re saw not turn on without it??

Re: My New k740 saw is not working
There was a wiring connector below the slider that needed to be plugged in on my saw. I believe this was the wire for the switch on the end of the slider. A possibility?

Re: My New k740 saw is not working
You are going to have to get permission to open up the electrical panel and have them give you some trouble shooting to do. Especially with a brand new machine that could have had wires jiggle loose in shipment.

Re: My New k740 saw is not working
Yep, tried with it twisted out and pushed in just to be sure

Re: My New k740 saw is not working
Hi Marcus,
Besides popping the Estop (You may try engaging it and popping it out to be sure) as Brian mentioned, there are 2 other micro switches on my K975. Your saw is different but ensure that the blade cover is closed and if there is a door under the outfeed extension table, it is properly shut as well.
Do you have any lights on the control panel? If so what is the status?

I¡¯ve got a new brand new saw and I can¡¯t get the machine running.
it¡¯s a felder k740 5.5kw 230v 3phase?
the motor won¡¯t start¡
the emergency button is off, main power switch is on and blade cover is on.
I have tried multiple combinations with the 3phase wiring and have tested the outlet with another machine.
i can hear a small clicking when I connect it to power and when I push the on button.
other than that nothing happening?
im waiting on answer from the dealership/felder but it¡¯s been a couple days already and I really need to get the saw running¡
any suggestions?
thanks

I have had it for over a year now. Does everything I ask of it including the tilt function. I used bora 4wheeled base but the base was extended to its max and consequently the long axis bars bent at their connection points causing the wheels to not swivel correctly. But overall like the unit. The missing front panel idea is a good idea to though for storage. does it rack though without that panel?

Re: My New k740 saw is not working
You sure you twisted the e-stop and it popped back out?
