Thanks for your advice. I checked the old cable and the brown cable had been shipped short and not used.

Thanks do you mean small round hole or the larger square one?

Hi, I posted a message regarding how to replace a cable in machine I have . Got some helpful advice. I'm posting this under new heading because I didn't want to confuse the issue and hopefully reach out to more people. I am going to replace the old cable and fitting on the end with a new one of...

Thanks yep I'll give that a go . Hoped someone might have had experience with those particular ones ? What I might do actually is cut the old cables halfway and then solder new ones on to them .Saves having to mess about with poking about.

Hi, I have two brand new button switches ( they are called micro switches on the packet) these both have cables on them that are exactly the same length as the faulty ones. They are like for like. I simply want remove the old buttons from the machine then disconnect the cables from the...

No I simply want to replace faulty micro switch/ buttons as per my last post so that my machine works as it should. Thanks

Hi, Thanks for your responses. The micro switches/ push buttons are as mentioned for pushing ( two at the same time ) so that hands are kept safely away from the blades when they come down. The microswitches are not part of the circuit board. The wires from these trail down and go into the...

Up to about a month ago the door closed fine but now it won't and there is a wider gap at bottom on opposite side of hinges than at the top. Basically it seems...

It is but hoped I wouldn't have to take heavy door of its hinges to raise a few mm's. I appreciate your response though. Cheers

Hello we have wooden double glazed doors ( internal) that have these hinges on them. Each hinge has a threaded screw going into the door as shown in photo and two going into frame. The left hand door is rubbing at the bottom and I want to raise it a few mm. Is it possible to adjust these hinges...
