  If the circuit breakers trip or fuses blow on your Ricon Cutter, consider these potential causes and solutions: 1. The circuit size might be incorrect for the machine. Check the circuit/fuse rating and the motor's amps, and install the correct rated breaker/fuse. 2. The motor might be overloaded due to taking too heavy of a cut. Try taking lighter cuts when planing lumber. 3. You might be using an extension cord. Avoid using an extension cord, or use a heavier gauge cord.
