Why my Wen PL1303 Planer machine does not start?

  Alison SavageJul 28, 2025
  Your Wen Planer might not be starting due to several reasons. First, ensure the machine is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet. Check the breaker for the associated circuit. If an extension cord is in use, verify it's the correct size. Make sure the safety key is installed. A tripped breaker could also be the cause, so reset it. Finally, worn carbon brushes can prevent the motor from starting, so consider replacing them.

  If the circuit breaker keeps tripping while using your Wen Planer, there are a few potential causes. One possibility is that you're using the wrong size extension cord. Another reason could be dull cutting inserts, so check them and rotate or replace as needed. Also, reduce the depth of cut. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it might be due to an internal motor problem.

Why does Wen PL1303 leave marks on the workpiece?

  Marks on your workpiece from the Wen Planer can stem from several issues. Dull cutting inserts are a common cause, so inspect them and rotate or replace them if necessary. An excessive depth of cut can also leave marks, so reduce it. Ensure the workpiece is fed with the grain, not against it. Dirty table or feed rollers can also cause marks, so clean them. Finally, check for any dust or debris between the cutting inserts and the cutterhead, and clean if necessary.
