Why are there uneven knife marks on the workpiece from my Jet JJP-10BTOS Planer?
If you're seeing uneven knife marks on your workpiece from the Jet Planer, it's likely that the knives are nicked or out of alignment. Align the knives and replace any that are nicked.
What to do if my Jet JJP-10BTOS Planer won't start or keeps tripping the breaker?
If your Jet Planer won't start, restarts unexpectedly, or trips the circuit breaker, consider the following: * Verify the unit is connected to power and the Start/Stop switch is in the Start position. * If the planer frequently trips, try taking a lighter cut. * Ensure the planer is on a circuit of the correct size; a loose electrical lead could also be the cause. * Adjust the dust chute, making sure that the key on the dust chute depresses the micro-switch on machine.
Why is my Jet JJP-10BTOS Planer leaving a rounded, glossy surface?
A rounded, glossy surface from your Jet Planer can result from: * Dull knives, so sharpen or replace them. * Feed speed being too slow, so increase it. * Cutting depth being too shallow, so increase it. * A rough or dirty planer bed, so clean and wax the table. * Clogged feed rollers, so clear residue chips off of them.
Why does the cutterhead slow down while operating my Jet Planer?
If the cutterhead on your Jet Planer slows down during operation, it may be because you are feeding the workpiece too quickly or applying too much pressure. Try feeding more slowly or applying less pressure.
