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.
What to do if my Jet Power Tool is causing chip out?
