			==Troubleshooting==
			{\| class="wikitable"
			\|-
			\| Router is not turning on \|\|
			*Check the Power switch.
			*Check the plug.
			*If the light is on but it doesn't spin, the motor brushes may need replacing.
			\|-
			\| It throws an error when running my GCode \|\|
			*Your code may be exceeding the maximum dimensions of the machine. Double-check the job size and the position of the workpiece to see if it is too close to the edges.
			*If there was a lot of "chatter" or vibration before the error, it may have detected that and stopped the machine as a precaution.
