OVERLOAD PROTECTION (Three Phase Machine Only)
The three phase machine is provided with overload protection which will shut off the motor if the planer is overloaded
or if line voltage falls below safe levels. If the motor shuts off due to overloading or low voltage, let the motor cool for
approximately five minutes. The overload block supplied with the machine will automatically reset itself and the
machine can then be started again by pushing the start button.
IMPORTANT:
If the machine continually shuts off due
to overloading, the cause of overloading must be corrected. If this happens, it is recommended you obtain advice
from a qualified electrician.
