Boards may not feed properly into your Grizzly Planer because the knives are dull, so replace them. Another reason might be sawdust in the feed rollers. Clean the feed roller.
Why does my Grizzly G0689 motor stall during a cut?
Your Grizzly Planer motor might stall or shut off during a cut due to several reasons. The cut may be too deep, so reduce the depth of cut. The motor overload protection may have tripped, so turn the planer OFF and reset the overload protection. There could be a short circuit in the motor or loose connections, so repair or replace connections on the motor for loose or shorted terminals or worn insulation. A circuit breaker might have tripped, so install the correct or repair the circuit breaker and reduce the number of machines running on that circuit. Also, the brushes may be at fault, so inspect and replace them if necessary.
What to do if my Grizzly Planer motor will not run?
If your Grizzly Planer motor won't run, first check the power supply to ensure the planer is getting power. If that's not the issue, the motor overload protection might have tripped; in that case, turn the planer OFF and reset the overload protection. Inspect all lead connections on the switch and motor for loose or open connections. Finally, the brushes may be at fault, so inspect and replace them.
Why does my Grizzly Planer motor overheat?
Your Grizzly Planer motor could be overheating or operating at a limited RPM because it is overloaded during operation. Try reducing the cutting load by taking lighter cuts. Also, the brushes may be at fault, so inspect and replace them if necessary.
Why does my Grizzly G0689 vibrate when running?
If your Grizzly Planer vibrates when running or cutting, it could be due to several reasons. The knives may be dull, so replace them. The cutterhead may be loose or damaged, so tighten or replace it. The belt could be damaged, so replace it. Lastly, the cutterhead bearings might be worn, so check and replace them if necessary.
What to do if my Grizzly Planer blows fuses?
If your Grizzly Planer is blowing fuses or tripping circuit breakers, it could be due to a short circuit in the line cord or plug. Repair or replace the cord or plug, checking for damaged insulation and shorted wires. Also, the brushes may be at fault, so inspect and replace them.
