      First, check if the power cord is properly connected to a power supply. Then, verify that the power outlet has power and that the breaker isn't tripped. Also make sure the outlet is rated for the tool's capacity. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it's possible that there is internal damage or excessive wear.

      Your Wen Biscuit Joiner might be overheating for several reasons. You may be advancing the tool too quickly into the workpiece. The blade could be damaged or dull, so ensure it's sharp and replace it if necessary. Dust might have collected in the motor housing vents; clean the vents using compressed air while wearing safety glasses and a dust mask. Finally, the motor may not be getting enough power due to an improperly rated extension cord; only use recommended extension cords.

      The performance of your Wen Biscuit Joiner may decrease over time if the blade has become dull or damaged, so replace the blade if needed. Another possible reason is that the carbon brushes have worn down or are damaged, so replace the carbon brushes if needed.
