What to do if I notice torn grain when using my Jet Planer?
If you're experiencing torn grain with your Jet Planer, it could be due to several reasons: * The cut might be too heavy, so adjust the depth of cut. * The knives might be cutting against the grain, so ensure you cut along the grain. * Dull knives can also cause this, so sharpen them.

What causes 'chatter' marks on my Jet Power Tool?
If your Jet Power Tool is leaving “chatter” marks on the workpiece, ensure the knives are correctly set and the knife slots are clean and free of dust or debris. Also, make shallower cuts.
What to do if my Jet Power Tool is causing chip out?
If your Jet Power Tool is producing chip out, try these solutions: 1. Cut with the grain whenever possible. 2. Sharpen or replace dull knives. 3. Use a slower feed rate. 4. Make shallower cuts. 5. Inspect the wood for imperfections, and use different stock if necessary.
Why my Jet Power Tool won't start or keeps tripping the circuit breaker?
If your Jet Power Tool won't start, restart, or repeatedly trips the circuit breaker or blows fuses: 1. Verify the unit is connected to power and the Start/Stop switch is in the Start position. 2. If the planer frequently trips, try taking a lighter cut. 3. Verify the planer is on a circuit of the correct size. If the circuit size is correct, there is probably a loose electrical lead. 4. If the electric motor is suspect, have a qualified electrician test the motor for function or take the machine to a service center and have it tested. 5. Adjust the dust chute, making sure that the key on the dust chute depresses the micro-switch on machine.
