When jointer overloads on the circuit
breaker built into the motor starter, it
takes time for the machine to cool
down before restart. Allow unit to
adequately cool before attempting
restart. If problem persists, check
amp setting on the motor starter
inside the electrical enclosure – it
should match the amps on the motor
as indicated on the motor plate.

Jointer frequently trips.
One cause of overloading trips which
are not electrical in nature is too
heavy a cut. The solution is to take a
lighter cut. If too deep a cut is not the
problem, then check the amp setting
on the overload relay. Match the full
load amps on the motor as noted on
the motor plate. If amp setting is
correct then there is probably a loose
electrical lead.

damage found, have starter tested.
If you have access to a voltmeter, you
can separate a starter failure from a
motor failure by first, verifying
incoming voltage at 220+/-20 and
second, checking the voltage
between starter and motor at 220+/-
20. If incoming voltage is incorrect,
you have a power supply problem. If
voltage between starter and motor is
incorrect, you have a starter problem.
If voltage between starter and motor
is correct, you have a motor problem.
