What the thread found

• Low battery voltage can cause chattering behavior that serves as a low voltage alert
• Slack belt motor tension will produce slight twitching during operation
• Misalignment of the side-to-side adjustment on the top stage can cause twitching
• Improper mounting of the Volt control box with vibration transfer can affect performance consistency

Depends on

• The electronic twitching cause was not definitively resolved in the thread
• One operator mentioned hearing about the issue from another source but did not share direct experience
• The specific M1 Volt model and setup details are not fully documented
