TROUBLESHOOTING: MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL
Trouble Probable Cause Remedy
Uneven depth of cut
side to side.
Knife inserts not set correctly.
Make sure knife inserts are set
correctly and securely in cutterhead.
Planer table not level with
cutterhead.
Level the table.
Board thickness does
not match depth of
cut scale.
Depth of cut scale is incorrect.
Adjust depth of cut scale. Use LED
control panel for greater precision.
Chain is jumping.
Inadequate chain tension. Adjust chain tension.
Sprockets misaligned. Align sprockets.
Sprockets worn. Replace sprockets.

Allow machine to adequately cool
before attempting restart. If problem
persists, check amp setting on the

Check the amp setting on the
overload relay. Match the full load
amps on the motor as noted on the
motor plate.
Loose electrical lead or a failed
component.
Building circuit breaker trips or
fuse blows.
Verify that planer is on a circuit of
correct size. If circuit size is correct,
there is probably a loose electrical
lead. Check amp setting on motor
starter.
Loose electrical connections.

connections on the planer including
motor connections, verifying the
tightness of each. Look for any signs
of electrical arcing which is a sure
indicator of loose connections or
circuit overload.
