c. Turn the machine ON and pull the
gun trigger to conduct the voltage
test.
6. If the 1.5 to 3.5 VDC is present, the
tachometer circuit is sending the cor-
rect feedback signal to the Control PC
Board.
7. If the 1.5 to 3.5 VDC is not present or
not correct, the Control PC Board is
not receiving the proper feedback
voltage from the tachometer circuit.
Check the leads from the tachometer
circuit to the control PC board for loose
or broken connections.
8. If the leads are okay, the tachometer
circuit may be faulty, replace the
tachometer circuit.
9. Replace the tool tray.
