Troubleshooting

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning outlet. Ensure the safety switch is engaged.

Uneven planing finish

Ensure the base plate is clean and free from debris. Check that the blades are sharp, correctly installed, and at the same height. Verify the depth setting is consistent.

Excessive dust or chip buildup

Ensure the dust bag is properly attached and not full. Check for any blockages in the chip ejection port or airflow path. Clean the tool thoroughly after use.
