Back to the OMAX main page.
- When I try to cut with the waterjet, no water comes out. Pause or stop the waterjet. Look at the little computer screen on the pump. There is a row of buttons, one of which has a diagonal slash on it. Press that button (the reset button) and try again. This will usually fix the problem.
- When I click Path, I don't see a start point to select. Be sure to check the OMAX:Startup page. You probably forgot to add lead-ins and lead-outs.
- When adding a path onto my drawing, some crazy crap happens. In Layout, click the "Clean" button on the right hand side. This will fix most problems that cause the path to be drawn incorrectly.
- The nozzle broke off. Don't panic; this happens. Find Steve in the HEPL machine shop. If you like to tinker, replacing the nozzle is fairly simple. The instructions are in the white OMAX binders, and the replacement nozzles are in one of the drawers. If you use the last spare nozzle, jewel, or any other part, be sure that you or someone else orders a replacement!
If you are really stuck, try calling someone. However, never leave the machine in a non-functioning state!
