CORRECTIVE.ACTION
Motor will not start.
1. Low voltage.
2. Open circuit in motor or loose
connections.
3. Blown fuse.
4. Motor brushes are at fault.
5. Motor switch or motor is at fault.
1. Check power supply for proper voltage.
2. Inspect all lead connections on motor and magnetic
switch for loose or open connections.
3. Replace fuse on circuit board.
4. Replace brushes (see
Page 22).
5. Replace switch or motor.
Fuses or circuit breakers
trip open.
1. Short circuit in line cord or plug.
2. Short circuit in motor or loose
connections.
3. Power feeder rollers are jammed.
1. Inspect cord or plug for damaged insulation and
shorted wires and replace extension cord.
2. Inspect all connections on motor for loose or
shorted terminals or worn insulation.
3. Disconnect all machinery from power and correct
cause of jamming.
Motor overheats.
1. Motor overloaded.
2. Motor brushes at fault.
1. Reduce power feeder feed rate.
2. Replace brushes (see
Page 22).
Workpiece jams when
feeding under rollers.
1. Rollers set too low.
2. Feeder at wrong angle.
1. Raise feeder.
2. Adjust angle.
Workpiece slips while
passing beneath rollers
1. Rollers positioned too high, no
traction.
2. Feeding too fast, cutter overloads.
3. Rollers are dirty or oily.
4. Worn roller(s).
1. Lower feeder.
2. Slow feed speed.
3. Clean roller surface with a mild solvent.
4. Replace roller(s) (see
Page 22).
Workpiece is burnt.
1. Wrong feed speed.
1. Adjust feed speed.
Rough finish or chipped
grain on workpiece.
1. Feed speed too fast.
2. Dull cutter or blade.
3. Power feeder angle is not toed in
to keep workpiece against fence.
1. Slow speed.
2. Replace with sharp cutter or blade.
3. Adjust power feeder so it is toed-in 1° to 1.5°
degrees toward the fence.
Fuzzy grain occurs when
planing or moulding.
1. Lumber has high moisture content.
2. Dull knives.
1. If moisture content is higher than 20%, sticker and
allow to dry.
2. Sharpen or replace knives.
Workpiece hangs and does
not enter the machine.
1. Power feeder roller height is set
incorrectly.
1. Lower the power feeder
1
⁄
8
" lower than the height
of the workpiece.
