If the motor of your Wen sander overheats, it could be due to overloading or using an incorrect extension cord. Try reducing the sanding pressure on the workpiece to lessen the load on the motor. Also, ensure you are using an extension cord with the appropriate gauge and length, or plug the tool directly into the outlet.
What to do if Wen 65812 leaves burns on the workpiece?
If you notice burns on your workpiece when using the Wen sander, it may be due to excessive pressure, holding the work still for too long, or using a sanding disc with too fine a grit. Reduce the sanding pressure, keep the workpiece moving back and forth, and consider switching to a coarser-grit sanding disc.
How to troubleshoot a Wen sander that won't start?
If the motor of your Wen sander will not start, there could be several reasons. First, check the power cord, extension cord, power plug, and outlet for any damage or improper connection. Do not use the tool if any part is damaged. Ensure the safety key is inserted into the power switch. If these steps don't resolve the issue, stop using the tool and contact customer service at (800) 232-1195, M-F 8-5 CST for assistance, as there may be a defective power switch, motor issue, short circuit, or loose connections.
What to do if workpiece gets pulled out of hands when using Wen 65812?
If your workpiece is getting pulled out of your hands while using the Wen sander, it's likely due to improper support or sanding a workpiece that is too small. To fix this, firmly hold the workpiece against the work table, using the miter gauge for support. If the workpiece is small, hold it against the miter gauge or use a jig to grasp or hold it securely.
Why does my Wen 65812 leave deep grooves in the workpiece?
If you're experiencing deep sanding grooves or scars on your workpiece when using the Wen sander, it could be due to several factors. You might be using a sanding disc grit that's too coarse for the desired finish, applying too much sanding force, holding the workpiece still for too long, or sanding against the grain of the wood. Try using a finer-grit sanding disc, reduce the pressure while sanding, keep the workpiece moving, and always sand with the grain of the wood.
Why does the workpiece lift up from the sanding disc of my Wen 65812 Sander?
If the workpiece lifts up from the sanding disc while using the Wen sander, it's because you're sanding on the 'up' side of the wheel. Ensure the disc guard is installed and always sand on the left side of the sanding disc as you face it.
Why do sanding grains easily rub off the sanding disc of my Wen sander?
If sanding grains easily rub off the sanding disc of your Wen sander, it could be because the sanding disc has been damaged or stored incorrectly. Avoid folding the sanding disc and replace any damaged discs with new ones. Also, store sanding accessories away from extremely hot or dry temperatures.
