# How to Resolve "Busy with Another Task" Error and Power Issues

## If you're encountering the "busy with another task" message on your machine or having trouble turning it on, here’s a guide to help you troubleshoot and get your machine back to normal operation.

### **Resolving "Busy with Another Task" Error**

If your machine says it’s **busy with another task**, it’s usually because the machine was stopped while it was still in motion, which can cause it to have trouble finding the home position.

**Steps to resolve:**

1. **Remove the jaw** (if applicable).
2. **Close the shield** (if your machine has one).
3. **Restart the machine**.

This should allow the machine to reset and run as normal again.

### **Troubleshooting Power Issues**

If your machine isn’t turning on, follow these steps to check for common issues:

1. **Check the power button:**
   
     - Make sure the **power button** is turned **on**.
     - Ensure the **emergency stop button** is **disengaged** (pushed out).
2. **Check the outlet:**
   
     - Confirm that the outlet your machine is plugged into is a **working outlet**.
3. **Inspect the power cord:**
   
     - Look for any **visible damage** on the **power cord**. Damaged cords should be replaced.
4. **For the Gymkana Model:**
   
     - **Check the power supply** for a steady **blue light**. If the light is off, this could indicate a power issue.
5. **For Other Models:**
   
     - **Check the fuses** located in the drawer beneath the power cord input at the back of the machine.
     - Use the **backup fuse** that came with your machine to replace any faulty fuses.

### **Still Not Working?**

If the machine is still not turning on or the issue persists, contact **Tech Support** for further assistance.
