Planer does not come up to speed.

Probable Cause

Remedy

 

 

Motor starter failure.

Examine motor starter for burned or

 

failed components. If damage is

 

found, replace motor starter. If motor

 

starter looks okay but is still suspect,

 

you have two options: have a

 

qualified electrician test the motor

 

starter for function, or purchase a new

 

starter and establish if that was the

 

problem on changeout.

 

If you have access to a voltmeter, you

 

can separate a starter failure from a

 

motor failure by first, verifying

 

incoming voltage at 220+/-20 and

 

second, checking the voltage

 

between starter and motor at 220+/-

 

20.

 

If incoming voltage is incorrect, you

 

have a power supply problem.

 

If voltage between starter and motor

 

is incorrect, you have a starter

 

problem.

 

If voltage between starter and motor

 

is correct, you have a motor problem.

 

 

Motor failure.

If electric motor is suspect, you have

 

two options: Have a qualified

 

electrican test the motor for function

 

or remove the motor and take it to a

 

quality electrical motor repair shop

 

and have it tested.

 

 

Miswiring of the machine.

Double check to confirm all electrical

 

connections are correct. Refer to

 

appropriate wiring diagrams on pages

 

54 and 55 to make any needed

 

corrections.

 

 

Switch failure.

If a start, stop, or table movement

 

switch is suspect, you have two

 

options: Have a qualified electrical

 

test the switch for function, or

 

purchase a new switch and establish

 

it that was the problem on changeout.

 

 

Low current.

Contact a qualified electrician.
