Why does my Craftex Power Tool leave rough cutter marks on the board?
This can happen if you are feeding the workpiece too fast; reduce the feed rate. It can also occur if the cutter inserts are not on the same height in the cutterhead; wipe clean and fix the cutter inserts so they are set on the same level as the cutterhead.
Why is my Craftex Power Tool causing chipped or ripped out pieces?
This issue can be caused by knots or incompatible grain direction in the wood. Check the workpiece for knots and grain; clean stock should be used. Also, nicked or broken cutter inserts can be the problem; turn or replace the cutter insert. Feeding the workpiece too fast can also cause this; reduce the feed rate. Finally, taking too deep of a cut can cause chipping; take a smaller depth in cut, especially when using hard wood.
Why is the board edge curved after using my Craftex Power Tool?
This can happen if the board isn't held with the same pressure on the infeed and outfeed table during the cut; ensure you hold the board with consistent pressure as it moves over the cutterhead. Also, if the board has too much bow or coil along its length, take limited cuts to remove the high spots before a full pass. Surface plane one face so there is a good surface to place along the fence. It should take 3 to 5 passes to get a perfect edge depending on the state of the board and the depth of cut.
What to do if my Craftex Power Tool motor fails to increase full power?
The issue may be an overloaded circuit with lights, motors, and appliances; decrease the load on the circuit. Alternatively, there may be short wires or circuits that are too long; get a longer wire or decrease the length of the circuit.
Why does my Craftex Power Tool keep burning fuses?
A short circuit in the cord or plug could be the reason. Call an electrician to fix or replace the cord or plug for shorted wires. Also, the unit may be overloaded. Lower the load and use a circuit different from other household appliances, or use a circuit that has a high amp rating.
Why won't my Craftex Power Tool motor turn on?
First, check the outlet source to ensure the tool is properly plugged in. If that's not the issue, the fuse may be blown, in which case you should have the fuse replaced, reset the breaker, or call an electrician. Also, make sure the lockout key is properly replaced. Finally, check to ensure you are using the proper voltage.
What to do if my Craftex Power Tool motor overheats?
Overheating can occur if the motor is overloaded during usage. Try taking lighter cuts and decreasing the motor's load. Another cause might be no air flow through the motor. Wipe out the motor to provide normal air flow.
Why does my Craftex Power Tool motor go off during a cut?
The motor might be overloaded during usage, so you should take lighter cuts and decrease the load. There could also be a short circuit in the motor or no connection, in which case you should call an electrician to fix or replace connections on the motor for faulty terminals or damaged insulation. Another potential cause is a moved circuit breaker; set up the correct circuit breaker and decrease the amount of machines used on that circuit.
How to troubleshoot Craftex Air Cleaner motor that does not run at full speed?
If the motor of your Craftex Air Cleaner isn't running at full speed, the power voltage might be too low; test the voltage. Alternatively, the motor could be damaged, requiring a check and replacement.
Why Craftex Air Cleaner motor will not reach full power?
If your Craftex Air Cleaner motor won't reach full power, the power wiring might be incorrect; replace or correct it. Another possibility is that an overload has tripped; reduce the load by cleaning the filters as necessary.
