The control panel features a thermal overload indicator. If the machine runs "hot" for an extended period, this indicator will illuminate.
Resin and pitch build-up on the jointer tables, thicknessing bed, and feed rollers increase friction. Use a dedicated resin remover to keep metal surfaces slick and prevent the board from dragging.
