I also noticed when i turned it off to check connections that it became very warm very quickly.

i have checked each wire and all 3 are connected properly pins 1,2 and 3 are live and 4 is the ground pin which i have not set up yet on the spindle.

Any thoughts on this?
What parameters have you changed in the VFD. How have you connected the pot. and what value is it?
PD001 ?
PD002 ?
PD070 ?
PD143 ?
PD144 ?

You don't need the spindle connected to change these parameters (but DON'T disconnect it with the VFD switched on)
