  If your Rikon Power Tools Planer won't start, there are several potential causes. First, check the power source, plug, and wiring to ensure they are functioning correctly. Second, inspect the fuse and replace it if blown. Also, verify the position of the main on/off switch and ensure the safety key is properly inserted. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the motor may have failed; in this case, inspect the motor and contact your local dealer for repair or replacement.

  Tonya BenderAug 19, 2025
  If the circuit breakers trip or fuses blow when using your Rikon Power Tools Planer, it could be due to several reasons. First, the circuit size might be incorrect for the machine. Check the circuit/fuse rating and the motor's amperage, and install a correctly rated breaker or fuse. Second, the motor may be overloaded due to taking too heavy of a cut; try taking lighter cuts. Third, using a long extension cord can cause this issue; avoid using an extension cord or use a higher gauge cord.

  Sandra BaileyAug 22, 2025
  A torn surface after planing with your Rikon Power Tools Planer can occur due to several reasons. You might be cutting against the grain; try cutting with the grain, and for figured woods, take shallow cuts to minimize tear-out. The cut may also be too deep; reduce the cutting depth to 1/16" or less. Also, check if the knives are dull; if so, rotate insert knives to new sharp edges.
