TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

ADJUSTING INFEED / OUTFEED EXTENSION TABLE
We recommend setting your infeed and outfeed tables so that the ends of the table extensions are approximately
1mm above the top of the granite table.
1. Locate the table elevation adjustment screw and nut on both sides of the planer, next to the hinge (Fig. 14).
2. Raise the extension table to expose the screws (Fig. 15).
3. Using two 10 mm wrenches or a suitable Phillips screwdriver, loosen the screw by holding the nut with a wrench
and turning the screw head counterclockwise.
NOTE: Keep track of the number of turns you apply to each screw. Make sure that both the left- and right-hand
screws on the table are turned the same number of times.
4. When both screws are adjusted to the height you want the table to be, tighten down the nut against the base of
the planer by holding the screw head with a wrench or Phillips screwdriver and turning the nut clockwise. Repeat
for the other screw.
5. Test the table height. If adjustments need to be made, repeat steps 3 to 4 as needed, ensuring that both screws
have been turned the same number of times.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 on the other table until you are satisfied with the height.
7. Test the adjustments on a scrap piece of wood, making further adjustments as necessary until you are satisfied.
If the material does not feed properly, check for:
• Dull blades: rotate or replace as necessary (refer to Changing Blades section).
• Excess clogging in the dust chute (refer to Attach Dust Chute in the Assembly and Adjustments section).
• A broken V-Belt (contact customer service at 1-800-232-1195, M-F, 8-5 CST for assistance).
If the circuit breaker trips repeatedly:
• The blades may be dull. Dull blades can cause motor overloading. Rotate or replace as necessary (refer to Chang-
ing Blades section).
• Reduce the depth of cut. An overly aggressive cut could cause motor overloading (refer to Depth of Cut in the
section).
If the unit does not run, check to see:
• If the unit is plugged in. Ensure unit is plugged into the appropriate outlet (refer to Electrical Information).
• If the circuit breaker needs to be reset.
• If the motor brushes are worn out. Replace as necessary (refer to Brush Inspection and Replacement section).
