Fuse or circuit breaker interrupting power.Check for blown fuses or fuses with wrong amperage.
Broken wire or connection.Pull electrical cord from receptacle and call your local Hobart Service Office.
Low output or poor cutting resultsWrong cutting tool used. SeeCutting Tool Guide in this manual.
Wrong combination of dicing grid and slicing tool when dicing (space between the two cutting tools is too large).See Cutting Tool Guide in this manual.
Decoring screw or agitator device not installed.Install decoring screw or agitator device to the machine.
Problem with blade or grating plate.Make sure blades or grating plates are intact and sharp.
Speed control switch not in correct position.(FP400i Only)Place speed control switch in Position 1 for dicing, and in Position 2 for all other cutting.
Feeding pressure too heavy.Provided the blades and grating plates are sharp, a light pressure is normally all that is required to give the best cutting results.
Build-up under cutting tool, possibly due to ejector plate not in place or container is full.Make sure the ejector plate is always installed when cutting.
Cutting tool locked to shaft.Build-up between cutting tool and dicing grid or potato chip grid.Always use the ejector plate. Use a thick leather glove and carefully rotate cutting tool clockwise.
Decoring screw or agitator device cannot be removed.Devices have tightened during use of the machine.Use the wrench provided to unscrew devices (left-hand thread).
