too hot
Frequent opening
of fuse or circuit
breakers
Wood strikes ouffeed
table after passing
over cutterhead
Snipe
(gouging at end
of boards)
Uneven depth
of cut
Depth of cut does
not match depth
of scale
90 and 45 degree
cuts inaccurate
LIKELY CAUSE(S)
1. Defective switch
2. Defective capacitor.
3. Defective motor.
4. Low linevoltage.
5. Belt tensiontoo high.
1. Circuit overload.
2. Low linevoltage.
3. Motor overload.
4. Incorrect fuses on circuit breakers.
5. Short circuit inmotor; loose
connections or worn insulation on
lead wires.
1. Defective motor windings.
2. Drive belt tension too high.
3. Defective capacitor.
1. Motor overload.
2. Restrict air circulation due to dust
accumulation.
3. Belt tension too high.
1. Motor overload.

sufficient capacity.
3. Circuit overloaded.
Outfeed Table is above
cutterhead knives.
SOLUTION
1. Have switch replaced.
2. Have capacitor replaced.
3. Have motor replaced/repaired.
NOTE: 1,2, 3 must be done bya qualified service technician.
Consult Sears Service.
4. Correct low linevoltage condition.
5. Adjust belt tension.
1. Reduce circuit load (turn off other appliances).
2. Correct low line voltage condition.
3. Reduce load on motor.
4. Have correct fuses on circuit breakers installed.
5. Inspect terminals in motor for damaged insulation and
shorted wires and have them replaced.
1. Have motor replaced/repaired.
2. Adjust belt tension.
3. Have capacitor replaced.
1. Reduce load on motor.
2. Clean dust and restore normal air circulation.
3. Adjust belt tension.
1. Reduce load on motor.
2. Have correct fuses or circuit breakers installed.
3. Reduce circuit load (turn off other appliances).
Adjust outfeed table level.
See "Adjusting Outfeed Table"
1. Dull knives.
2. Inadequate support of long boards.
3. Uneven feed.
4. Outfeed table not aligned.
5. Table extension misaligned.
1. Knife height not uniform.
2. Fence not perpendicular to jointer
bed.
3. Feeding wood too fast.
1. Indicator not set correctly.
2. Knife projection incorrect.
1. Fence stops not adjusted properly.
2. Fence bottom not even with outfeed
table due to wood chips under fence.
1. Replace or sharpen knives.
2. Support long boards. See "Accessories and Attachments"
3. See"Feeding Workpiece"
4. Adjust outfeed table level. See "Adjusting Outfeed Table"
5. See "Adjusting Table Extension"
1. Adjust knife height. See "Adjusting Knife Height"
2. See "Adjusting Fence"
3. Feed wood slower.
1. Adjust indicator, securely tighten.
2. See "Adjusting Knife Height"
1. Adjust fence stops. See "Adjusting Fence"
2. Clean wood chips from underside of fence.
Table elevation 1. Gibs not adjusted. 1. Adjust gibs.
adjusts with 2. Elevation screws dirty. 2. Clean and lubricate elevation screws.
difficulty 3. Elevation screws worn. 3. Replace elevation screws.
4. Friction between base and tables. 4. Clean and lubricate.
Fuzzy grain Planing wood with high moisture. Remove high moisture content from wood by drying.
Torn grain 1. Too heavy a cut. 1. Reduce depth of cut.
2. Knives cutting against grain. 2. Feed work along grain.
3. Dull knives. 3. Replace or sharpen knives.
