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.
