Remedy
Check power supply.
Take machine to your service point.
Check fuse, check overload switch on machine.
Have the motor or switch checked by an electrician.
Fit the chip extractor hood so that the microswitch is
pressed.
Check fuses.
Due to the integrated lowvoltage protection, the ma-
chine does not restart automatically. Upon return of
the voltage, the machine must be switched on again.
Replace or sharpen blade
Switch on the motor again once it has cooled
Fit the chip extractor hood or bench lock so that the
microswitch is pressed.
Reduce chip removal.
Reduce infeed speed.
Reduce cutting depth and machine the workpiece in
several passes
Reduce chip removal.
Reduce infeed speed.
Replace knives.
Replace or sharpen blade
Remove chips
Feed the workpiece with constant pressure and at
reduced speed
Dry workpiece
Machine the workpiece from the opposite direction
Machine the workpiece in several passes
Clean bench top and apply a thin coating of lubricant
wax
Repair transport rollers
Set the lever for the thicknessing setting to the top
position
Reduce chip removal.
Replace knives
Dry workpiece
Reduce chip removal.
Reduce infeed speed.
Replace knives.
Dry workpiece
Use a dust extractor unit having an airflow rate at the
suction connection of at least 20 m/s.
