What to do if my Steel City 40250 motor stalls and blows fuses?
If the Steel City Planer motor stalls, resulting in blown fuses or a tripped circuit, inspect the motor connections for loose or shorted terminals, or worn insulation. Also, check for low voltage and correct it, ensure you have the correct fuses or circuit breakers installed, and reduce the load on the motor.
Why is my Steel City 40250 loud and overheating?
If your Steel City Planer machine is loud when cutting and overheats or bogs down, decrease the depth of cut. Also, sharpen or replace the knives.
