Troubleshooting Guide
IF THE UNIT DOES NOT RUN, CHECK TO SEE:
• if the unit is plugged in.
• if the dust shroud is properly in place.
• if the top cover is properly in place.
• if the circuit breaker needs to be reset.
IF THE MATERIAL DOES NOT FEED PROPERLY, CHECK FOR:
• excess clogging in the dust shroud.
• excess oil/debris from feed rollers.
• excessively twisted, cupped or bowed material.
• a broken drive belt.
IF CHIPS DO NOT EJECT FROM THE REAR OF THE UNIT, CHECK TO SEE:
• if the dust shroud is properly in place.
• if the dust shroud and fan are clogged or obstructed.
IF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPS:
• check for dull knives. Dull knives could cause motor overloading.
• reduce depth of cut. An overly aggressive cut could cause motor overloading.
• drop feed rate to 14ft/min. A reduction in feed rate will reduce the load on the motor and prevent breaker trips.
IF THE BRANCH (HOUSE/SHOP) CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPS REPEATEDLY:
• unplug or turn off other devices sharing the circuit with the planer OR use the planer on another branch
circuit by itself.
• check for dull knives. Dull knives could cause motor overloading.
• reduce depth of cut. An overly aggressive cut could cause motor overloading.
• drop feed rate to 14ft/min. A reduction in feed rate will reduce the load on the motor and prevent breaker trips.
NOTE: Even under normal loading conditions, other electrical loads on the same branch circuit may cause the circuit
breaker to trip.
